Although numerous cooking methods exist, a commonality amongst the Spanish dish known as paella is that it’s delicious. It’s also a large dish typically made for several people.

But beginning June 14, Contigo Latin Kitchen will begin “Paella Date Night” and effectively reduce the total number of guest needed to enjoy this beloved dish to two.

From 4 – 10 p.m. every Tuesday night and for the remainder of summer, Contigo will offer paella for two along with a bottle of wine or sangria carafe for just $35.

But, why stop with paella?

Also beginning on that same date Contigo will launch “Taco Happy Hour,” which includes six different tacos to select from that are available in orders of two for $4 and four for $9. In addition, sangria, select tapas, and select glasses of wine are $5, while a handful of Contigo’s killer cocktails are just $7, including margaritas, mojitos, the Poquito Picante, and jamaica.

For those not in the know, Contigo is a pan-Latin restaurant located in the former Poppy Kitchen at La Paloma. If Poppy Kitchen doesn’t ring a bell, before that it was Janos’ J-Bar. Contigo closed their small River Road location in 2015 and reopened in 2016 at La Paloma.

Due to demand, reservations for Tuesday nights are highly recommended.

Contigo Latin Kitchen is located at 3770 E. Sunrise Dr and can be reached at (520) 299-1540. For more information, visit eatatcontigo.com.

Locally owned groceries around Tucson carry an assortment of packaged foods, but how many carry fresh produce? As it turns out, not nearly as many as there are restaurants. Farmers markets, such as @heirloomfm, and other programs, such as @pivotproduce and @tucsoncsa provide access to local produce. However, they are only available certain times of the week. If you need something the same day and just want a small, locally owned groceries near you for some essentials, this guide will come in handy.

@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. 🍅
