This year’s culinary tour is making its second pit stop in Panama City, Panama. The major global trade center results in a complex culture with a diverse mix of Latinos, Afro-Antilleans, Asians, and indigenous people. The rich biodiversity and a healthy marine ecosystem also help create its unique cosmopolitan cuisine. Wilder and his culinary team have created a menu to showcase the tastes of Panama City.

The Three Sisters is an agricultural practice that plants three ingredients — corn, beans, and squash — together wisely. Each contributes in a different way but the combined result is a more nutritious soil and pest and weed prevention.
Instead of dining in the evening like the prior feasts, it’s a sampling-style brunch to celebrate these three ingredients.
In addition to the brunch, there will be plenty of mingling, live music, art activities, a bloody mary and mimosa bar, and more.
Tickets are $45 per person. The menu has not been released, but take a glance at the participating restaurants and vendors.

Local comedians are teaming up for the Tucson Fantasy Food Draft at The Screening Room from 7:30 – 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 17.
To get into the spirit of all things competitive, some of Tucson’s funniest comedians are “fantasy drafting” the city’s best local food.
Here’s how it works:
On stage, each of the competitors will draft their favorites places to eat in Tucson
The choices will be moderated by the “Draft Commissioner” Joel Foster
The audience (you) decides who has drafted the best menu in Tucson
This year’s competitors include Alex Kack (AKA #GreenShirtGuy), Amanda Tennyson (AKA The Steamroller), Autumn Horvat (AKA 2 Scoops), and Daniel Kirby (AKA The CANnibal).
Tickets are $8 per person and prizes from local restaurants will be up for grabs.

Since Tucson became the first city in the U.S. to be named a City of Gastronomy, chef Janos Wilder and others have traveled to other “sister” cities around the world to share the region’s culinary history and unique foods.
Now, Wilder is ready to share the flavors he’s collected. The culinary tour is making the summer’s final pit stop in Burgos, Spain.
Those living in Burgos tend to feast on roasted meats, the savory local cheese Queso de Burgos, and fish dishes such as Bacalao a la Burgalesa – despite being inland.
The menu is available for more than a month at DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails. Take a glance at the menu to give your taste buds something to look forward to.

The menus have yet to be released, but last year there were plenty of tequila-infused popsicles, snow cones, and more mixed drinks than you can imagine.

Think of it as a massive group project, in which everyone is participating, and at least 30 restaurants are releasing limited three-course meals at discounted prices.
The event is sponsored by Visit Tucson and is focused on putting an array of dining experiences on display, all while supporting the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
The three-course dinners will range from $25 to $35 a person.
More local restaurants are welcome to register for the 10- day celebration, too, and help raise funds and awareness for the Community Food Banks of Southern Arizona.
