The “Dinner with Chefs” series is back for 2018, but this year local celebrities are joining in on the action.

For 2018, chef Ryan Clark is continuing his monthly dinner series “Dinner with Chefs & Celebs” at PY Steakhouse, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 20.

This month, chef Roderick Le Desma and the rest of the PY Steakhouse culinary team are hosting Loews Ventana Canyon Resort executive chef (and recent Chopped contestant) Ken Harvey and pastry chef Krista Owens.

Seats are $75 per person, and reservations can be made by calling (520) 324-9350.

The chefs will work to create a multi-course dinner with paired wines and a specialty cocktail, and the menus feature Arizona-grown products from over 30 of Casino Del Sol’s local partnerships.
