TUCSON, Ariz. - The Old Pueblo's food scene is once again getting national attention, this time from destination experts at Travelzoo.

The write up is featured in BravoTV.com's "The Feast" section and says the following about Tucson:

"The nation’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy has beguiled the Travelzoo team thanks to delicious, approachable fare like the bacon-wrapped Sonoran hot dog at El Güero Canelo’s, plus plenty of brunch hotspots, bakeries, and a new bean-to-bar chocolate spot, plus temporary pop-up dinners and other special foodie events."
