Our celebrity co-host this week was Rita Connelly of the Well-Fed Foodie blog, who shared her thoughts on the perfect pizza. She also talked about her upcoming book, Lost Restaurants of Tucson, which will hit the shelves in early December. We then welcomed Mandy Carlsen of Nourish, an organization providing support to children with feeding challenges, who revealed some exciting plans for a delicious fundraising event later this month at the Fox Theater. Our featured guest was Sauce kitchen manager John May, who unveiled this year’s plans for National Pizza Month! He also discussed what’s new at Sauce while treating us to some yummy Sauce selections, including the sausage and caramelized onion pizza, chicken pesto pizza, pasta with red sauce, and a new winter vegetable salad that will soon be making an appearance on the menu. This was a sauced-up show for sure!
