When True Food Kitchen filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Oct. 4, the chain's CEO Jeff Chandler tried to make it clear that the company planned to continue operating.
"This process is the best path forward to simplify the business and focus on what we do best: delivering craveable, health-forward food and genuine hospitality. We are confident this step will help us build a stronger True Food Kitchen for the future," he said in a press release.
True Food Kitchen serves an upscale clientele looking for healthy food. Most of its stores are located in higher-end shopping or lifestyle plazas. That contributed to its financial problems, Chad Van Horn, founder and managing partner of Van Horn Law Group in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., shared with TheStreet.
"True Food Kitchen did not file because people stopped eating there. Sales were essentially flat, about $312 million last year against $314 million the year before, and the reported debt is around $42 million. That is a cost and footprint problem, not a demand problem," he said.
As part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, True Food Kitchen shared that it had already closed 12 restaurants. Those locations completed their final service on Oct. 4, but the initial release did not share which locations were closing.

On September 16, Air Products (NYSE:APD) said it had signed a long-term deal to supply high-purity gases to a leading chipmaker, backed by roughly $250 million of its own money in Arizona. It is the company's second semiconductor supply win, and the two projects together carry more than $900 million of investment. That is a notable turn for a company that has been pulling back from big clean-energy projects.
The Arizona project plays to what Air Products already does. It will build, own, and operate the equipment, from hydrogen generation units and carbon dioxide purification to bulk supply for three gases: helium, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. That means the customer's gas supply runs through equipment Air Products owns. Supply is targeted to start in phases, so the buildout can move alongside the customer's expansion plans. And this is familiar ground. Air Products has supplied electronics makers for more than 40 years, and its Chandler facility has served the Phoenix chip cluster since 1981, with a pipeline system carrying ultra-high purity nitrogen around the area.
The core business gives the deal a solid floor. In the fiscal third quarter, reported on July 30, adjusted earnings per share rose 12% to $3.47, and management lifted its full-year outlook to an adjusted $13.39 to $13.49 per share. Margins widened as well, so growth is showing up as profit. Chips appear elsewhere in the results too, since the company announced a deal to build four large air separation units to serve a chipmaker's growth in Taiwan.
The cost of the pivot is hard to ignore. On June 30, Air Products announced it would not go ahead with its Louisiana Clean Energy Complex and would discontinue a zero-carbon liquid hydrogen facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, plus other smaller clean energy distribution projects. The exits triggered roughly $2.9 billion in pre-tax charges, which is why the company posted a GAAP loss of $6.47 per share in the third quarter even as its underlying earnings grew. Adjusted results leave that hit out, but the GAAP numbers show what the retreat cost.
Owning the ****** ets also means funding them. Air Products expects about $3.5 billion of capital spending in fiscal 2026, and the Arizona plant alone is a commitment of approximately $250 million, with supply arriving in phases. The release also leaves gaps: it does not name the customer or say how long the contract runs, so the length of the revenue stream is unclear. Elsewhere, Europe's operating income rose only 2% as costs climbed, and management says it is still cautious about the economic backdrop.

Patriots Make Four Practice Squad Moves Ahead Of Steelers Game originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New England Patriots reshuffled their practice squad Monday as they began preparations for their Week 2 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
New England signed wide receiver Chandler Brayboy and linebacker Xavier Holmes to the practice squad. The Patriots created the two openings by releasing safety Elliott Davison and running back Hassan Haskins. The team announced all four moves through its official website.
Haskins is the most experienced player involved in the transaction. The 26-year-old appeared in 44 regular-season games over four NFL seasons, including the last two with the Los Angeles Chargers.
New England signed Haskins on Aug. 12 and retained him on the practice squad after training camp. The former Michigan running back entered the NFL as a fourth-round selection by the Tennessee ****** ans in the 2022 NFL Draft. Haskins has recorded 76 carries for 229 yards and two touchdowns during his career. He also has 18 receptions for 199 yards and one score.

Multi-hyphenate comedian, actor and content creator Aaron Branch has big dreams and big ideas. Good thing he has all that storage ******* e upstairs.
Today marks the beginning of Branch's latest stand-up campaign, the Forehead Tour XXL, in Chandler, Arizona. It's been a busy year for the Kevin Langue Show star – this is his second stand-up tour supported by two self-produced comedy specials just in 2026 – but artists with big ambitions don't slow down when their followings are growing even larger than their foreheads.
Most comedy fans who know Branch have seen him on the Rob Lowe comedy series Unstable or dead-center in the eye of the storm on The Kevin Langue Show, a massively popular and mostly improvised YouTube series that combines game show elements with unbridled comedy chaos. Langue just inked a deal to bring his gonzo social experiments to Netflix late last month, and the Kevin Langue Show's massive 5.5-million subscriber count forms a huge part of Branch's own fandom.
But in his solo career, Aaron has branched out into music, long-form sketch comedy and some deeply personal stand-up performances, such as his latest comedy special, The Birth of a Forehead. A fifteen-year comedy veteran, Branch now finds his career expanding in all directions, but, much like his forehead, his body of work can always get bigger.
Shortly before the start of his current tour, Branch spoke with Cracked about his approach to stand-up, his experiences on The Kevin Langue Show and the future of his "forehead-maxxing" journey:

"Sloppy," Chandler (AZ) five-star quarterback Will Mencl said.
"We gotta grow," said head coach Ty Wisdom.
Meanwhile, the scoreboard showed a 42-13 victory for the Wolves.
Chandler opened the floodgates with a 78-yard kickoff return touchdown by Maxwell Sprott at the end of the first half and then outscored Cathedral Catholic (San Diego, CA) 21-3 in the second half to pick up its first win of the season in a battle of ALL-USA players: West Region quarterback Mencl and wide receiver Jai Jones of Chandler against two-way five-star Dons RB/WR/DB Honor Fa'alave-Johnson.
Yet despite the Wolves' dominance in the second half, the team was unsatisfied by the penalties and three turnovers. At the end of the postgame handshake, Wolves players started talking trash to Cathedral Catholic, infuriating Wisdom.

Milo Manheim, Chandler Kinney and more cast members from the "Zombies" film series paid tribute to co-star Carla Jeffery following her death at 33.
On Wednesday, Kinney, who played Willa Lykensen in the Disney Channel musical movie franchise opposite Jeffery's Bree, took to Instagram and shared a series of photos of the two together.
"This doesn't feel real," the "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin" actress wrote. "Carla, the sweetest, most sparkly gal. You made every day better and brighter with your infectious positivity."
She continued. "I think part of why you brought such effervescence to Bree (aside from your immense talent) is because that's really who you were in your heart; a bubbly, vivacious heart-of-gold cheerleader who loved nothing more than to uplift those around her."
As Kinney went on, she noted that she felt "so grateful to have known [her] love," adding, "I'm going to miss laughing with you, and watching you break out your signature splits on any and every dance floor."

Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies are set to host one of the nation's top prospects on an official visit on September 5 when four-star guard Jimmie Haywood returns home.
The 6-foot-3, 170-pound product of Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona, who is ranked as the No. 128 overall prospect and No. 15 shooting guard in the 2027 class by 247Sports, began his career at Garfield High School in Seattle before moving south.
Now, as Sprinkle prioritizes local talent as he continues to rebuild the program, Haywood could emerge as a top target for the Huskies in the months leading up to signing day.
Among Sprinkle's other top targets in the 2027 class is another local product, five-star guard Jalen Davis out of Bremerton High School, and as the Huskies look to replenish the depth on their roster through the high school ranks, the pair has the potential to become building blocks for their hometown team.
During his visit, Haywood will also likely be accompanied by five-star power forward Ahmed Nur, who is slated to arrive on Sunday, September 6. Washington is also expected to host one of the top players in the 2028 class, five-star guard Jordan Mize, on Friday, September 18.

The Carolina Panthers have ******* embled their initial practice squad for the 2026 season, with a familiar face as the cherry on top.
As announced on Tuesday, the Panthers have signed guard Chandler Zavala to the group. The 27-year-old was waived on Monday to make room for fellow interior lineman Corey Bullock, who was claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens.
Carolina selected Zavala, a North Carolina State University product, in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He's gone on to make 14 starts over 34 career games.
Zavala is now the 17th and final addition to the team's initial practice squad. The group, in its entirety, is as follows:

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Robert Stock pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning for his first major league win in seven years, Mark Vientos homered in his return from the injured list and the New York Mets beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Monday night.
Francisco Alvarez had an RBI single and left fielder Christopher Morel made two pivotal defensive plays as the last-place Mets stopped Tampa Bay's four-game winning streak. New York, which snapped an eight-game skid at Tropicana Field, had lost six in a row and 11 of 13 to the Rays overall.
Liam Hicks and Chandler Simpson each had an RBI single with two outs in the eighth to pull the Rays to 3-2.
Kodai Senga worked a scoreless ninth for his fifth save.
Tampa Bay has the best record in the American League at 82-55 and began the day with a 4 1/2-game lead in the AL East over the New York Yankees.

The Basha and Chandler high school football teams both showed why they are nationally ranked during their season-opening game on Saturday, Aug. 29.
Each time Chandler scored, it was answered by Basha with either a big play by receiver Makai Nelson or a defensive statement during the top-ranked Bears' 37-26 win before an overflow crowd at Basha High and a national TV audience on ESPN.
The game was a rematch of last year's Open Division **** le game, won by Basha. Both teams entered the game ranked among the Top 25 nationally, with Basha No. 1 in The Arizona Republic's preseason 6A rankings and Chandler No. 3.
This game was a much more competitive contest than last year's championship, which Basha won 34-7.
"They battled through adversity," Basha coach Chris McDonald said of his team. "They got punched in the mouth, and they punched back."

The San Diego Padres were able to build a 6-3 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays thanks to a three-run top of the seventh inning. The Rays responded with a four-run bottom of the seventh inning, which handed the Padres a 7-6 loss at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburgh on Saturday. The loss is critical to San Diego's push for the postseason, but even worse was the loss of Luis Rengifo who was injured and carted off the field in bottom of the seventh.
Bradgley Rodriguez started the seventh inning on the mound for the Padres with a 6-3 lead. San Diego appeared to have the recipe for a win in place. Rodriguez would work the seventh and pass the ball to Adrian Morejon in the eighth and eventually Mason Miller in the ninth if it was still a three-run game to secure a win. Rodriguez immediately got into trouble with a walk and back-to-back singles to load the bases. Yandy Diaz then lined a ball over the head of Jackson Merrill in centerfield that one-hopped the wall. Merrill threw the ball back to the infield where Rengifo took the ball at second base.
Tampa Bay had a runner caught between second and third and Rengifo ran toward him. At the same time, the runner on third base sprinted toward home and when Rengifo planted to stop his momentum and throw to the plate, he suffered what manager Craig Stammen said after the game was a knee sprain. The throw from Rengifo sailed past home plate and allowed the tying runs to score to tie the game at 6-6.
After a long injury delay and Rengifo being driven off the field while lying on his back on the cart, Stammen replaced Rodriguez with Adrian Morejon since there were no outs in the inning and the winning run on third base. Morejon induced a groundout for the first out of the inning and then allowed an intentional walk to setup the double play possibility. Morejon struck out Ryan Vilade for the second out of the inning but then allowed a single to Chandler Simpson which put the Rays ahead of the Padres, 7-6. The inning ended on a strikeout one batter later.
San Diego appeared deflated after the injury to Rengifo and surrendering the lead and went down in order in the top of the eighth. Manny Machado drew a one-out walk in the top of the ninth, but Ty France followed with a strikeout and Merrill grounded out to end the game.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Yandy Diaz knocked in three runs with a bases-loaded single in the seventh inning and Chandler Simpson followed with a tiebreaking RBI hit as the Tampa Bay Rays rallied to beat San Diego 7-6 on Saturday in a game in which Padres second baseman Luis Rengifo was carted off with an apparent leg injury.
Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda homered as the Rays won their third straight and for the fifth time in six games.
Kevin Kelly (6-3) earned the win with 1 2/3 innings in relief. Bryan Baker recorded his league-leading 39th save by working a scoreless ninth. Starter Nick Martinez allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out four in six innings.
Bradgley Rodriguez (3-3) took the loss after failing to record an out while facing four batters in the seventh. Walker Buehler allowed seven hits and three runs while striking out three in five innings. Ty France hit a two-run home run for San Diego.
The Rays scored four times in the seventh inning. Diaz hit a bases-loaded single off the base of the wall in center. On the play, Rengifo was injured after taking a relay throw and while trying to cut down Cedric Mullins at the plate in a run down. When his throw sailed wide, Rengifo fell to the ground and two additional runners scored, tying the game at 6.

The Baltimore Ravens have waived undrafted rookie cornerback Lardarius Webb Jr. as they continue trimming their roster, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun.
Webb's arrival in Baltimore created one of the Ravens' most compelling offseason stories. His father, Lardarius Webb Sr., spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the organization, recorded 15 interceptions and helped Baltimore win Super Bowl XLVII.
The younger Webb signed with the Ravens after completing his college career at Wake Forest. He recorded 36 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and seven pass breakups during his final college season.
Webb continued making plays during the preseason despite limited opportunities. The 5-foot-9, 177-pound cornerback finished with two solo tackles, one forced fumble and one pass breakup. His ability to play outside, in the slot and on special teams gave him some positional flexibility.
Baltimore's depth at cornerback created a difficult path to the initial 53-man roster. Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie lead the group, while T.J. Tampa, Bilhal Kone, Keyon Martin and fifth-round rookie Chandler Rivers entered the final weekend competing for reserve roles.

Cutter Boley, a junior, will be Arizona State's starting quarterback, according to reports from ESPN's Pete Thamel. The Sun Devils open the season Saturday, Sept. 5, against the Morgan State Bears at Mountain America Stadium.
Head coach Kenny Dillingham is expected to address the media after practice on Saturday, Aug. 29.
ASU has four quarterbacks, with the battle coming down to Boley and sixth-year senior Mikey Keene, a local out of Chandler High School. The move had been trending that way, with Boley getting the first-team reps recently in practice.
Boley, a 6-foot-5, 220-pounder, is a transfer from Kentucky. He began the 2025 season as the backup to Incarnate Word transfer Zach Calzada, but took over the starting job three weeks into the season and ended up completing 65.8% of his passes for 2,160 yards with 15 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Boley was named the quarterback on the SEC's All-Freshman team.
His best outing of the season came in a loss to Tennessee in which he went 26-for-35 for 330 yards and five touchdowns with one interception in a 56-34 loss.

The Rochester Red Wings continued their postseason push Friday night, rallying from an early two-run deficit to beat the Buffalo Bisons 5-3 at ESL Ballpark and move into a tie for first place in the International League's second-half standings.
Rochester improved to 79-49 and pulled even with Indianapolis atop the International League's second-half race thanks to a four-run fourth inning fueled by doubles from Cayden Wallace and Liover Peguero. Chandler Champlain earned the win with 4.1 innings of relief before Yovanny Cruz recorded his fifth save.
The Bisons broke through in the top of the fourth inning after Yohendrick Piñango singled and scored on Jay Harry's RBI double. Harry later came home on Lenyn Sosa's RBI single, giving Buffalo a 2-0 lead.
Starter Isaac Lyon was charged with both runs, with Champlain entering in relief to record the final out of the inning.
The Red Wings responded immediately in the bottom half.

PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov hasn't entered the UFC yet, but he's already talking trash about the quality of opposition he may face when he gets there.
Nurmagomedov fought the last fight on his PFL contract last month, and recently revealed he turned down a $2 million per fight offer from the organization in order to wait out the 90 day exclusive negotiation period and see what other promotions might offer him. Promotions like the UFC, where he could finally get his due as one of the best lightweights in the world.
In an interview with Sport24, Usman pushed back on the idea that the top fighters are all in the UFC.
"They say if you don't fight in the UFC, it's not the same level. I disagree with this," he said. "Just look at the guys in the UFC who sit in the top 10 and they just fight amongst themselves and keep the top ten closed. For example, Benoit Saint Denis. Won 4, lost to Dustin Poirier, lost to 'Money' Moicano, lost 3 more. Lost in 30 seconds. [Michael] Chandler. Top 15. He's there. Lost to [Paddy] Pimblett."
"[Ilia] Topuria, who praised himself endlessly, lost. Quit on the stool. Said 'I don't wanna continue.' Arman [Tsarukyan] lost to [Mateusz] Gamrot, and he lost to Islam [Makhachev]. He sits, waits a year, fights once, and says that he is the best wrestler in the world. While he had two fights, I made four ****** le defenses."

A **** le shot is on the line for Mauricio Ruffy as well at UFC 331.
Ruffy (14-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) meets top contender Arman Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in a five-round co-main event on Sept. 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Tsarukyan has long been considered the rightful No. 1 contender, whereas Ruffy has a big opportunity to knock him off his position. Ruffy scored two-straight knockouts of Rafael Fiziev and Michael Chandler, and aims to leapfrog other contenders by beating Tsarukyan – at least that's what he's been told.
"That's the agreement with the UFC," Ruffy told Fox Sports Australia through an interpreter. "That's the last step to make. Let's make it happen."
Tsarukyan is a big favorite over Ruffy, and the Brazilian is aware of how good he is. However, after moving camps to train with UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, Ruffy feels he has bridged the gap to compete with the division's elite.

The Baltimore Ravens already have enough established talent to construct one of the NFL's best secondaries. Chandler Rivers could be the player who raises the unit's ceiling even higher. Rivers is not expected to replace Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Kyle Hamilton or Malaki Starks in the starting lineup. The fifth-round rookie can still become an important part of Baltimore's defense by providing dependable coverage when the Ravens use additional defensive backs.
According to Pro Football Hall of Fame International Ambassador Steve Flack, citing Pro Football Focus, Rivers has played 40 coverage snaps during the preseason. He has been targeted six times, allowing two receptions and a 42.4 passer rating.
The sample remains small, but the early efficiency as a pro is difficult to ignore.

Rivers has stayed connected to receivers through their routes, closed quickly at the catch point, and demonstrated the physicality required to finish plays and potentially carve out a role. He also allowed only six receiving yards on five targets during Baltimore's preseason victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Peoria Liberty junior quarterback Marlie Phillips will have to sit out the first six games of the upcoming flag football season after the Arizona Interscholastic ******* ociation denied her transfer appeal, Phillips confirmed to The Arizona Republic.
Phillips transferred to Liberty in the offseason after two seasons at Chandler Hamilton, where she went 38-0 as a starter and helped lead the Huskies to consecutive 6A state championships in 2024 and '25.
Phillips is ranked the No. 1 high school flag football quarterback in the state by The Arizona Republic in its 2026 preseason player rankings last month.
Phillips, who lives in Youngtown but attended Hamilton under the state's open enrollment law, was seeking an appeal to play right away instead of sitting the first part of the season as normally required by the AIA transfer rule.
Liberty opens the season Sept. 15 against Cactus Canyon. Phillips' debut for Liberty will come on Oct. 15 against Scottsdale Christian Academy at the Fiesta Bowl Copper State Invitational. Her first AIA game will be on Oct. 20 at home against Gilbert.
