Give Back at the First “Tip-A-Roadrunner” Fundraiser (MENU)

Nov 20, 20181 min read

The Tucson Roadrunners hockey team is working with Brother John’s Beer, Bourbon & BBQ for the very first “Tip-A-Roadrunner” event from 6:30 – 9 p.m. on Wednesday, November 28.

Being that it’s a first of its kind, and it puts those participating a little out of their element, it ought to be a fun experience.

The entire Roadrunners roster will be serving a different kind of biscuit for the evening, waiting on you at your table as they work for tips. The tips they earn will then score them extra funding for Roadrunners Give Back — a branch of the Arizona Coyotes Foundation.

Tickets are $35 per person and reservations are required.

The meal is featuring some of the favorites you’d commonly find on Brother John’s Beer, Bourbon & BBQ’s menu.

Tip-A-Roadrunner Dinner Menu

More about Matt

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.

Cafe Francais, the French bakery known for its scratch-made croissants and kouign-amann, is closing for good. Owners Noelle and Daniel Martinez announced the closure on Instagram Wednesday afternoon, ending a seven-year run that began on Tucson’s east side.

“Thank you, Tucson, for one hell of a crazy, amazing, and sometimes terrible 7-year ride. We’ve truly loved it all, the good, the bad, and the difficult.”
