The patio of Maynard’s Market & Kitchen was the setting for the annual World Margarita Championship, and we were there live.  We caught up with the defending 2009 champion, Brian Metzger of Jax Kitchen, who was enthusiastic about his chances to take home the trophy again. We also checked in with two of the event’s judges, Tony Abou-Ganim (the Modern Mixologist) and Barbara Fairchild (Editor in Chief of Bon Appetit Magazine), to find out what they were looking for in the perfect margarita. Several chefs from Tucson Original restaurants also stopped by to talk about their food pairings. Following the broadcast, Matt Russell served as MC for the event.
