Time Market owner Peter Wilke taking over Rincon Market

Time Market owner Peter Wilke taking over Rincon Market

Mar 27, 20181 min read

Time Market owner Peter Wilke quietly purchased Sam Hughes neighborhood market Rincon Market on Wednesday of last week.

First things first — fishmonger extraordinaire Yuri Rabayev is staying. Also, Wilke plans to develop the meat and charcuterie program to a similar level.

While Wilke plans to bring Time Market’s attention to detail and quality of curated goods, customers shouldn’t expect a “Time Market II.” Rincon Market is about 14,000 square feet, while Time Market is about a third of the space at roughly 4,000 square feet.

The market will feature organic and local produce, specialty groceries, fish, and meat. Additionally, customers can expect a quality coffee program and house-made pastries as some of the first noticeable changes, followed by a full specialty market and a comprehensive remake of the menu.

Last but not least, Wilke said Rincon will also have their own unique artisan bread program.

Since Rincon Market has been open a few years shy of a century (it opened in 1926), Wilke understands its value to the neighborhood.

“We plan to build on the great neighborhood support for Rincon Market,” Wilke said. “It’ll be a place for anyone who loves great food and beverages.”

Rincon Market is located at 2513 E. 6th St. Changes have not yet been made to the Rincon Market website or social media, but look for updated information soon. More information about Time Market is available at timemarket.xyz.

A new Chihuahuan-style restaurant and tortilla factory is opening in Tucson! @Tortillaschiwas debuts Thursday at 914 N. Grande Ave. in Barrio Hollywood, inside the former Grande Tortilla Factory.

Phoenix restaurateurs Armando Hernandez and chef Nadia Holguin, a married couple originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, are behind the project. The James Beard-nominated duo will bring a roughly 15-item menu featuring dishes from their Phoenix restaurants, including Cocina Chiwas and Espiritu Cocktails + Comida.

Tortillas Chiwas will initially be open Thursdays through Saturdays from 5–10 p.m. with just 38 seats. Reservations are available on OpenTable. The team also plans to mill nixtamal on-site for hand-pressed tortillas, continuing the building’s long tortilla-making history.

“Indian food represents many different regions and cooking styles, featuring far more than the curries that it is popularly known for — though those are certainly found in abundance at Tucson’s Indian restaurants. For religious reasons, beef and pork are not common in the Indian diet, but carnivores can enjoy plenty of chicken, lamb, and seafood dishes. Most Indian restaurants have large sections of their menus devoted to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes, too.

Kitchens are almost always accommodating about adjusting spice levels but as a rule of thumb, the hottest dishes are the vindaloos, while the mildest are the kormas and biriyanis.” — @ediebjarolim
