Mike Mallozzi from borderlands brewing company not only has a PhD in microbiology but he has a knack for brewing that would rival the greats. Mike invited me into Borderlands brewing company to conduct this interview. We sat at the bar had a couple of beer and had a great time talking about his rise from grad student to brewery owner. This is an episode you can’t miss.
Where did you get the name Borderlands? Named after the area of Arizona that hugs the border of Mexico. Arizona is essentially the borderlands and this brewery has quite the Hispanic influence.
What is a major set back that has slowed you down on your journey? The level of bureaucracy in starting a brewery was the biggest hurdle Mike had to overcome.
What was the moment that you thought “I want to make beer my business”? While it took Mike 7 years to complete his PhD he wanted to do something brand new and exciting; that with a move to Tucson, AZ and an extensive background in homebrewing got Borderlands to one of the largest breweries in the state
Where do you see the future of craft beer? The future of craft beer is with session beer. Low ABV beers where people can enjoy a craft beer without the worry of getting too “Bombed.”

Crooked Tooth Brewing Company - TapThatAZ Podcast - S01E09
Me: I'll do #'s 1, 6, 7, 8, and......
Dude at Crooked Tooth, without hesitation: 3!
Me: Huh?
Dude at Crooked Tooth: If you like those 4 you'll love #3
Me: Well alright, alright
That was my first interaction with Ben Vernon from Crooked Tooth Brewing Company ( in Tucson. And you know? #3 was my favorite. I knew right then that Ben was a cool dude who truly cared and knew a lot about beer and how to make his guests feel welcome. In this episode I sit down with Ben and talk about the challenges/joys of transforming an old service shop into a fantastic brewery and whatnot.
A little while back I took a trip down to Tombstone to visit Matt Brown at Tombstone Brewing Company which was a great place making great beer. But I also had a secondary objective that day: get back to Tucson ASAP and grab chimichanga at the place that apparently invented it and just a bad ass Mexican food joint in general. The story about the chimichanga is great. But they had me at “fried burrito”. I had even skipped 2nd breakfast to make room for this legendary treasure. So we made the trip back to Tucson and walked into El Charro at around 2:30. “The wait is about 45 minutes”. My heart sank which is probably preferable to what that chimichanga would have done to my heart had we possessed the patience to wait that long. But 45 minutes was much too long for me to wait in my fragile state so we decided to go with Plan B: take the 0.3 mile walk to Borderlands Brewing Company to come up with Plan B.
Borderlands Brewing Company was a really badass place too. Located in an old brick warehouse right by the railroad tracks this place has character for days and some marvelous beers. The bartender was cool as hell and when we expressed a desire to check another brewery without hesitation she said Crooked Tooth. You gotta check them out. Cool people making great beer. It was decided: Crooked Tooth would be the next stop. Another 0.3 mile walk (by the way, I was burning WAY more calories than was necessary at this point) and we were there. On the journey over we noticed hoards of people stumbling around the streets and realized we were right in the middle of a pub crawl. Lots of people wandering aimlessly trying to find the next place to find a great craft beer? I can relate to that.
We came around the corner and there is was: another great Tucson brewery in a brick building that looked like it had been there for a hundred years. As soon as we walked in I knew I was going to love this place. Right when you walk in there is an old payphone with vines on it sitting beside an old ass safe filled with board games. And the place was beautiful inside. Exposed brick everywhere and the huge wooden tables were heavy duty as hell. The place just had a cool vibe to it. And then I saw what they were serving flight tastings in: wooden skateboards with 5 holes in them to hold the tasting glasses. Heck yes! That when I first met Ben (see beginning of this article). I knew right then I had to cool this dude on the show. And he was totally down. Plus their beer is the shit. Especially the It's Always Sunny in Amarillo (and such a great name).
A few weeks later I was back in Tucson with mics in hand to record this episode. It was on a Saturday before they opened for the day during Crooked Yoga where people come in for an hour of yoga and then have a pint, all for $5. Yoga is just one of the events they are known for. Don’t forget about speed dating, live music, stand up comedy, the list goes on. So in the background of the episode you'll hear the Zenful music of the yoga in the background as Ben tells me the story of Crooked Tooth Brewing Company thus creating Ben The Beer Zen Master. Has a nice ring to it. Enjoy the show. And go have a beer there. Today.

The Real Reason Boston Market Is Disappearing Across The Country
Boston Market, once deemed a worthy competitor in the fast-casual restaurant space, has suffered in recent years, and as delectable as that fall-off-the-bone rotisserie chicken might be, a lot has gone wrong for this once-prominent chain. Here are all the reasons Boston Market is disappearing.
In the early ‘90s, the chain then known as “Boston Chicken” rocketed to fame and fortune with an aggressive expansion strategy that was built on a house of lies. Essentially the company would loan money to potential franchisees, who would then use that money to pay the company a franchise fee, along with other costs, including interest on the loan.
The parent company then reported all this income as pure profit, leaving the franchisees to bear the burden of startup costs. As a result, individual franchises suffered while the home office reported record growth and profit. This allowed them to launch a stock offering in 1996 which saw the price of shares double in a single day, and then double again before the end of the year.
Since the profit model was based on constant expansion, you can guess what happened. The market reached saturation, struggling franchisees couldn't repay their loans, and suddenly the whole thing collapsed. In 1998, the company declared bankruptcy and was forced to close over 700 locations.

SUMMARY
=======
American cuisine reflects the history of the United States, blending the culinary contributions of various groups of people from around the world, including indigenous American Indians, African Americans, Asians, Europeans, Pacific Islanders, and South Americans. Early Native Americans utilized a number of cooking methods in early American Cuisine that have been blended with early European cooking methods to form the basis of American cuisine. The European settlement of the Americas yielded the introduction of a number of various ingredients, spices, herbs, and cooking styles to the latter. The various styles continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th centuries, proportional to the influx of immigrants from many different nations; this influx nurtured a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the country.
When the colonists came to the colonies, they farmed animals for clothing and meat in a similar fashion to what they had done in Europe. They had cuisine similar to their previous Dutch and British cuisines. The American colonial diet varied depending on the settled region in which someone lived. Commonly hunted game included deer, bear, buffalo, and wild turkey. A number of fats and oils made from animals served to cook much of the colonial foods. Prior to the Revolution, New Englanders consumed large quantities of rum and beer, as maritime trade provided them relatively easy access to the goods needed to produce these items: rum was the distilled spirit of choice, as the main ingredient, molasses, was readily available from trade with the West Indies. In comparison to the northern colonies, the southern colonies were quite diverse in their agricultural diet.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Americans developed many new foods. During the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, c. 1890s–1920s, food production and presentation became more industrialized. One characteristic of American cooking is the fusion of multiple ethnic or regional approaches into completely new cooking styles. A wave of celebrity chefs began with Julia Child and Graham Kerr in the 1970s, with many more following after the rise of cable channels, such as the Food Network and Cooking Channel, in the late 20th century.
GSD Talks: Ronald Rael, “Borderwall as Architecture”
Despite recent attention to wall building as a security measure, the building of barriers along the U.S. – Mexico border is not a new phenomenon. The U.S. Secure Fence Act of 2006 funded the single-largest domestic building project in the twenty-first century and financed approximately 700 miles of fortification, dividing the U.S. from Mexico at a cost of up to $16 million per mile. Today, approximately one third of the 1,954-mile-long border between the U.S. and Mexico has been walled off. Ronald Rael will discuss his book, Borderwall as Architecture: A Manifesto for the U.S. – Mexico Boundary, a timely re-examination of what the physical barrier that divides the United States of America and both a protest against the wall and a projection about its future.
