 Rehearsal dinner proves Urbieta is ready for Beard
 Last night, I experienced the second of two rehearsal dinners at Ristorante Bartolotta that Chef Juan Urbieta and his team -- which included the creme de la creme of kitchen staff from the Bartolotta restaurants -- used to perfect the menu they'll serve at the James Beard House in New York's Greenwich Village on Dec. 1.

 "Pairings" shows Haggerty in a whole new light
 As the Haggerty turns 25 -- it opened in an eye-catching building on the Marquette campus in 1984 -- the museum launches a special exhibition of works from its permanent collection that seeks to highlight its large body of work and also to spark conversations and revelations about the relationships -- expected and unexpected -- about some works.

 Gig roundup: Benson "poised and ready" for Turner
 Although he's now on solo record No. 4, for many people Brendan Benson is still the guy who plays in Grammy-winning band The Raconteurs with Jack White. But don't let White's shadow eclipse Benson's shining talent. Dive into his latest disc, "My Old, Familiar Friend," and you won't struggle to find his adeptness at catchy melodies swathed in ringing guitars. See him this week at Turner Hall.

 If you give a kid a play ...
 Like many homes, ours chimes with the sound of countless readings of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" -- by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond -- and its related books. It's not a text-heavy book, so I wondered how First Stage Milwaukee would make an entire show out of it.

 Powerful "Food, Inc." won't likely whet your appetite
 I can't imagine that too many people will say that watching "Food, Inc." was the visual equivalent of eating chocolate cheesecake, but just like eating your veggies is good for you, so is watching this expose on how our food is produced.

 With the economic downturn it seemed safe to assume that there would be casualties among the restaurants of Milwaukee. But it seems like all of sudden lots of places are closing.

 Gig roundup: Green River Ordinance gets grassroots support
 It was a long way to go, but Fort Worth quintet Green River Ordinance got there in a short period of time. The band's name refers to the colloquial name for laws banning door-to-door sales. So it's ironic that a groundswell of support led to an opening slot for Bon Jovi in Dallas just a couple years after the band recorded its debut in its church basement.

 Transformed Mayer adds Bradley Center gig on March 1
 Is it my imagination or is John Mayer looking more and more like an update of the circa-1986 Charlie Sexton these days? Mayer comes to the Bradley Center for a show on Monday, March 1 as part of the tour in support of his new disc, "Battle Studies," due out later this month.
