Chef Sergio Rocha from Tanque Verde Ranch

This was one dog house we didn’t mind being in – this week’s show originated from the Dog House Saloon at the Tanque Verde Ranch!

Michael Luria, Matt Russell, Kristen Tremmel & Chef Sergio Rocha

Our celebrity co-host for the week was Michael Luria, fellow foodie and executive director of the Children’s Museum Tucson, who got us current with his latest culinary and cocktailing travels. We also caught up with Les Baxter, the new owner of the Hog Pit Smokehouse, and we learned what he has planned for this great east-side BBQ joint. Kristen Tremmel from the Tanque Verde Ranch gave a report from the bar, which included talk of a fresh prickly pear margarita, and special guest Chef Sergio Rocha gave us a glimpse of his culinary philosophy, which boils down to “food should be fun!” We had tons of delicious fun out on the Ranch, and we hope you can get out there soon!
