Bisou Burger is a roaming Tucson food truck run by co-owners William Jacobs and Jeff Garland, both veterans of local restaurant kitchens. The truck centers on smash burgers built with house-ground chuck from K4 Ranches in Prescott, a fire-roasted poblano puree, and sautéed onions in yellow mustard. Garland bakes every fluffy bun from a high-hydration milk dough, and the duo makes their own American-style cheese by emulsifying Tillamook white cheddar with sodium citrate.
The core menu stays tight, with rotating weekly specials that have included spicy bulgogi and Valentine's Day beet burgers. A falafel burger rounds out the options for vegetarians. The truck also sells house-made ice cream sandwiches. Bisou Burger posts its locations on Instagram; follow @bisouburger for updates.

"You must try the Taconnoli — made of pistachio, orange zest, ricotta, and creamy mascarpone inside crispy pastry shells flavored with Marsala and a touch of cinnamon."

Three-peat!🏆🏆🏆
@Chef_antbanks of @obonsushi defended his Iron Chef Tucson title against AJ Mortazavi of The Barnyard Crafthouse & Eatery, with tomatoes from Wholesum Family Farms revealed as this year’s secret ingredient.
Dromgoole’s winning menu included pork with minced olives over a diced tomato salad, a tomato-forward ratatouille with mozzarella, charred corn and whipped ricotta served with tableside tomato soup, and a standout dessert of fried tomato topped with goat cheese ice cream and balsamic glaze.
With the victory, Dromgoole joins Ryan Clark as the only chefs to win @theironcheftucson three years in a row. Here’s hoping OBON brings these dishes back for a special dinner. 🍅

“I scream, you scream...oh, hush! In this warm weather town, there’s no need to scream for ice cream. This year-round favorite treat and its cool cousins, gelato, and sorbet are widely available in a variety of distinctive styles and flavors. You’ll also find more unusual fare such as Indian golas, a version of shaved ice.” — @ediebjarolim
