We just love when new restaurants open in Southern Arizona, and the destination for this week’s broadcast was the one that people are really buzzing about these days, Nox Kitchen & Cocktails!

Our celebrity co-host this week was Jim Seder, founder and publisher of the Wine Inquirer, who got us current with some cool new features of his multimedia playground for the wine and food enthusiast. And speaking of wine and food, Michael Fenlason of the Tucson Museum of Art sat down with us to share all the information on the upcoming CRUSH Wine, Food and Art Festival. Nox bar manager James Diedrich then got us appropriately libated as he discussed both sides of his thoughtful cocktail menu: “Shaken & Refreshing” and “Stirred & Boozy!” Our featured guest was Nox managing partner Brandon Katz who offered his perspectives on New American Cuisine, why his weekend brunch bloody marys are “amazing,” and what he has up his sleeve for all-day happy hour on Sundays! We also discovered what is possibly our new favorite fish dish in town: Miso Chilean Sea Bass with Forbidden Rice, Bok Choy and Soy Butter. Try it. Now.
