The good times are ready to roll at Kingfisher during their classic New Orleans-style feast from 5 p.m. – midnight on Tuesday, February 13.

Also known as Fat Tuesday, the evening is meant to celebrate the culmination of Mardi Gras, and the beginning of the austere season of Lent.

The menu features an a la carte menu, including classic gumbo and jambalaya, along with traditional libations like Hurricanes, Sazeracs, and the Louisiana brew Abita Turbodog.

In the spirit of the holiday, everyone will be offered Mardi Gras beads and a chance to win a Kingfisher t-shirt if you “find the baby” in their King Cake dessert.

In addition to the Fat Tuesday menu, the regular Kingfisher dinner menu will also be offered as well.

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
