The Mercado San Agustin & MSA Annex is a vibrant market district on the west end of the Modern Streetcar line and is home to several local destinations for deliciousness, and we came to you live from one of its best…Agustin Kitchen!

Dennis Arnold, Sally Kane, Matt Russell, Chef Alex O’Neill & Chef Javier Castro

Our celebrity co-host was Arizona craft beer pioneer Dennis Arnold of Barrio Brewing Co., who talked about some of the things making news at his tap room. We also checked in with Chef Javier Castro of Casino Del Sol, who shared the latest news from the upcoming House Party to benefit the Ronald McDonald House. We then sat down with two local taste-makers whose concepts at the MSA Annex are buzz worthy, Rebecca Safford of Westbound and Michael McCormick of Kukai! Our featured guests were Agustin Kitchen owner Sally Kane and executive chef Alex O’Neill who walked us through their thoughts on west side cuisine.

A fan favorite: fried cactus pads with a duet of dipping sauces!

They also showcased a fan favorite from the menu, the nopales fries, while teasing us on a new dish about to drop on the new seasonal menu. Coffee-rubbed Arizona filet mignon with Israeli pearls, a coffee-reduction tuile, and young peach gastrique anyone?

See you at MSA!
