TV chef Juan-Carlos Cruz was arrested Thursday and booked on suspicion of solicitation to commit murder, Sgt. Jay Trisler said. He's scheduled to be arraigned on Monday.

Homeless people told the city's homeless liaison officers that Cruz asked them to kill someone, Trisler said. They agreed to help police investigate the alleged murder-for-hire plot.

Gmail Adds Drag-and-Drop Picture Insertion

Gmail Adds Drag-and-Drop Picture InsertionGmail just picked up another desktop-like drag-and-drop feature, less than a month after giving attachments that convenience. Starting in Chrome, and coming to other browsers soon, you can now drag pictures into messages to embed them in a message.

You don't even need the "Inserting Images" lab enabled for drag-and-drop picture insertion to work. Simply drag an image to the spot where you want it, click the "Change image" link to resize, if needed, then finish up and send it on its way. Neat stuff, and hopefully coming to at least Firefox very soon.

Jose Garces buys a truck...a FOOD TRUCK!

Along comes Philly’s own Dinnertime Demigod Jose Garces with his very own taco truck. According toMealTicket, Garces has brought home a truck that used to operate in Brooklyn (take that!) and plans to have his restaurant design guru Jun Aizakiwork his magic on the truck design as well. No definite dates yet, but we’ll keep you posted when we hear something for sure. Until then, keep an eye out for a new Garces Twitterfeed that will let you gastro-groupies know where and when you can find the new taco truck (yet to be officially named), but don’t count on seeing His Culinary Majesty Himself –- sources say he won’t be manning the wheel or the griddle, but it sounds like he’ll make some surprise appearances now and then.
