Famous foodie Alton Brown is talking up Tucson again, but this time it's to People Magazine.

Brown, who has become something of a Tucson expert over the years, has selected the Tucson Tamale Holiday Pack as one of his 10 best Christmas gifts for foodies.

His logic is simple: "Because they're probably the best Western-style tamales I've had—and they ship!"

It's no secret that Brown loves Tucson Tamale. In June 2015, he picked the restaurant as one of 10 great spots to hit during a July Fourth holiday weekend.
