My three-year-old daughter is going through a serious cheese phase. String cheese might be her favorite, but any time I break out shredded cheddar, parmesan or mozzarella, I soon feel a small tug at my shirt followed by a vision of her cupped hands eagerly awaiting a sample. It reminded me of my own childhood, which was filled with grilled cheese, mac and cheese, string cheese and far too many jokes about cutting the cheese.
I m sure I m not the only one who has come to this realization about themselves, but cheese might have been the first food that I loved before I understood that I love food. As such, I d like to dedicate this Valentine s Day to the local eats that have kept my love of cheese alive and well.

Although they never received the accolades of The Clash, the reputation of The Ramones, or the notoriety of The Sex Pistols, The Misfits nonetheless made an indelible mark on punk rock.
Founded by Glenn Danzig in 1976, The Misfits ignored the political posturing and art-school pretense of their contemporaries to focus on themes of horror and violence. With the Crimson Ghost, the skull-faced villain of a 1946 film serial, as their mascot, the band was rooted in stripped-down, 1950s style rock n roll infused with aggression and attitude. By 1983, the band, having moved to a faster, hardcore style, collapsed under the weight of lineup changes and infighting.

D.O.A. s Joe Keithley isn’t the first high-profile punk rocker who’s plunged into the world of politics. Recall if you will Dead Kennedy’s legend Jello Biafra running for the mayor of San Francisco back in 1979. (He lost, the biggest tragedy of that being his platform included forcing all businessmen to wear clown suits within city limits).
TSOL singer Jack Grisham ran for governor of California in 2003, losing to Arnold Schwarzenegger by roughly 4, 198,000 votes.
Former American presidential candidate and Democratic party rising star Beta O’Rourke, meanwhile, made it to Washington’s House of Representatives. Once upon a time the American underground knew O Rourke as the bassist for El Paso-based Foss, which featured future At the Drive-In and Mars Volta member Cedric Bixler-Zavala.
