Rocco DiGrazia from Rocco’s Little Chicago

The closest you can get to the Windy City without leaving Tucson is Rocco’s Little Chicago, and we were there live this weekend feasting on some serious Chi-chow! Celebrity co-host Jim Strong, fellow foodie and real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, got things started with his perspectives of great local food. We were then joined by David Torkko, beverage manager at Hotel Congress, who educated us all on the differences between tequila, mezcal, bacanora and sotol. We’ll surely be equipped for the upcoming Tucson Agave Fest! Our featured guest was Rocco himself, who rolled out some great beers, from the traditional Chicago favorite, Old Style, to some great craft beer from Chicago’s Goose Island Brewery. He also walked us through the culinary traditions of Chicago’s south side, and served up some of his top-selling treats. Our favorite? The midwestern-style thin pizza with fennel sausage and cheese!
