Super Fans! - Text the show with your questions and commentsIn this episode of the Arthur Avenue Podcast, we’re joined by world-famous comedian Mike Figs and the Prince of Produce Chris Boiano for a tequila-fueled conversation that goes completely off the rails—in the best way possible.We taste and break down three different expressions from Arette Tequila, produced in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico. The guys dive into how tequila is actually made—from agave harvesting to distillation—while giving real, no-BS tasting notes along the way.Somewhere between sips, things take a turn:Mike Figs tells the story of his first visit to the Boiano food stand inside the Arthur Avenue Market… including a life-altering encounter with kale that he may never emotionally recover from. Chris talks about his recent trip to Japan.Then we pivot—because of course we do—into a debate about organized crime: does it help build communities or quietly destroy them? No easy answers, but plenty of strong opinions.Back at the shop, JP shares a classic retail moment—an online customer requesting a full video showcase of bottles before buying… during a packed Saturday. Timing is everything. Or nothing.This episode is equal parts tequila education, street-level philosophy, and the kind of conversations you only get on Arthur Avenue.Visit our store anytime at arthurcantina.com or in person atArthur Cantina Wine & Liquor 2380 Arthur Avenue, Bronx NY 10458Follow us on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/arthurcantinawineTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@arthurcantinawineFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/arthurcantinawine
