The Gastronomic Union of Tucson (GUT), a local chef team of Justice League proportions, has returned for their second pop-up dinner at 6 p.m., Sunday, July 30 at the Carriage House.

This time around, the five-course wine dinner spans the globe across 32 Degrees North Latitude with dishes from the U.S., Japan, China, and India.

“I am heading the Punjab, India dish,” said CJ Hamm, executive chef at Saguaro Corners. “Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines with its aggressive spice palette and home-cooking feel. I am going to bring that to the plate along with some of my technical flare and finesse touches.”

“I’m excited that we are now putting a global spin on pork using different parts of the pig from last time,” said Janet Jones, executive chef at Hacienda del Lago. “As soon as we started talking about the dinner I knew I wanted pig ear, and when I saw Szechuan on our list I nabbed it. The dessert ‘ice cream’ will have a little floral, sweet, and minty heat to finish with the peppers.”

“From the city that has its own smell when it rains, I’ll be working with aromas for my dish,” said Matt Kraiss, executive chef at Ermanos Craft Beer & Wine Bar.

Ham, Jones, and Kraiss are just a couple chefs from the talented Tucson roster in the dinner:

• Max Provost – Private Chef & Caterer
