The theme of this broadcast was Tucson’s most talked about tastemakers of the week, and we had a studio full of them!

Our celebrity co-host was fellow foodie and lifestyle/entertainment publicist from Storyteller Public Relations, Laura Reese! Laura kicked off the show by sharing some of the things that she thought were making food headlines this week. We were then joined by Tucson’s mollusk maven, Jeff Azersky of Kingfisher & Bluefin. Jeff prepared us for the annual Kingfisher Oyster Festival, and schooled us in the science of shucking and slurping! Our featured guest was Lilian Spieth, owner/chef at Roma Imports, who introduced us to the many tasty things happening at this Italian deli and grocery. We also had the opportunity to sample some of her goods, including our new favorite sandwich, which is called, we kid you not….”Matt’s Special!” All hail Tucson’s tastemakers!
