Oct 19, 20211 min read

The 2,000-square-foot indoor space that’s got a plethora of beers and wine on tap, a giant cooler filled with beers you may have never heard of, and newish patio seating is ready to celebrate another anniversary.

Over on the northwest side of town, Caps & Corks is hosting a three-year anniversary party from noon – 10 p.m. on Saturday, October 23.

The crew isn’t messin’ around with this party and are excited to share what they’ve been working on in preparation for the party. Caps & Corks shared the following on Facebook:

“We are more than excited to throw an epic celebration to say ‘thank you’ for supporting our little dream over the last three years. Mark it on your calendars and set a reminder… you don’t wanna miss this.”

They’ve collaborated with breweries for limited brews and are also inviting local and regional breweries to pour on-site in the pop-up beer garden. Also, local food trucks will be setting up shop throughout different parts of the day to offer a variety of tasty bites.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

The grand opening is TODAY, Oct. 8! 🎉

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar

Daily hours: 11am - 9pm
