12 WEEKS. 12 THEMES. ONE DELICIOUS TUCSON SUMMER. 🌵🌞❤️ From May 18 through August 9, Tucsonans ate their way through the city one themed week at a time, and now the receipts are in.

THANK YOU, TUCSON, for showing up and eating local with us all summer long. And a huge thank you to our presenting sponsor @visittucson, our partners @510south, @bbbsouthernarizona, and @azwinecollective, and every locally-owned business that made this campaign possible.🎉 More in @addiewankenobi’s article on Tucsonfoodie.com12 WEEKS. 12 THEMES.
