Jan 2, 20151 min read

Food and beverage radio show On the Menu Live, hosted by Inside Tucson Business food columnist and PR executive Matt Russell, will move its Saturday afternoon show from KNST 790 to Power Talk 1210 effective January 10.

Co-hosting the 4pm-5pm inaugural show will be Tucson Foodie founder, Adam Lehrman.

ā€œWe’re thrilled to be joining the line-up at Power Talk 1210,ā€ said Russell, who owns, produces and hosts the weekly program. ā€œWhen considering offers from other stations, we simply felt most at home with KEVT given our shared vision and commitment to the power of local programming.ā€

For those unfamiliar with the show, Russell covers Southern Arizona’s culinary and cocktail community in a high-energy format, frequently broadcasting live from local restaurants and bars.

Tucson Foodie has appearedĀ on the show as both co-host and fill-in host on numerous occasions.

@Casaveratucson opens Aug. 12 at 7265 N. La Cholla Blvd., bringing regional Mexican cuisine to the former Tamarind space.

The 7,000-square-foot restaurant seats 200 guests with a large patio, and the design draws inspiration from a warm, old-world hacienda. The family behind Casa Vera is also known locally for Guadalajara Original Grill.

The menu highlights flavors and techniques from across Mexico, with tableside salsa service, shareable starters like the Hacienda Board and Scallop Mini Tostadas, plus entrƩes including Lobster Tetelas and Hojaldrado, a beef picadillo-stuffed poblano inspired by chile en nogada.

Casa Vera will be open daily from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Reservations are available through @opentable or by emailing reservations@casaveratucson.com.
