Tucson Foodie is a community-driven platform shaping how Southern Arizona experiences and supports its local food scene. In this episode, we sit down with Shane Reiser, owner and leader of Tucson Foodie, to talk about his unconventional path from nonprofit work and the University of Arizona to running one of Tucson's most influential culinary brands. Shane shares how he went from being a fan and subscriber to leading the platform. With no formal background in food or media, he breaks down how growing 5 businesses now benefits the growth of Tucson Foodie. This story-telling, experience-driven engine supports local chefs through events, member dinners, restaurant takeovers, and monthly mixers- proving that when you eat local and support local, the impact goes far beyond the plate.
