Chef Omar Huerta of Wildflower

In this our last broadcast before Valentine’s Day, the theme of the entire show was love, and there was a lot of love to go around!

Matt Russell, Chef Omar Huerta & Rita Connelly

Our celebrity co-host was Rita Connelly, food writer for the Tucson Weekly and the Well-fed Foodie on Facebook, who talked about all the love she has encountered lately on the local food and beverage scene. We then caught up with Aurelie Bessiere of Palais des Thes, who spoke about her passion for premium tea. We even shook up some of her Geisha Green Tea Cherry Margaritas right in the studio, which we think will make the perfect Valentine’s TeaTail! Our featured guest was Executive Chef Omar Huerta of Wildflower, who walked us through his criteria for romantic cuisine. He brought in some examples for us to taste, including the Burrata Cheese Board and the Bars of Sin dessert. Now that’s amore!
