“Sonoran Restaurant Week” now accepting participating restaurants

Jun 26, 20201 min read

The second annual Sonoran Restaurant Week is coming back for a 10-day celebration from Friday, September 11 – Sunday, September 20.

Just like last year’s inaugural event sponsored by Visit Tucson, Sonoran Restaurant Week strives to accomplish the following: draw attention to local restaurants, expose their unique flavors to the masses, and help support the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

This year, all of the participating local restaurants are releasing limited three-course meals at discounted prices. They’ll range from $25 to $35 a person, and in turn, you’re providing food assistance to thousands of people across the region.

The list is expected to grow but in the meantime, take a look at the restaurants that have already signed on to share their flavors.

Participating Restaurants

  • Bellissimo Ristorante Italiano
  • HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery
  • Proof Artisanal Pizza & Pasta
  • PY Steakhouse
  • Reforma
  • Saguaro Corners
  • Tito & Pep

All restaurants are invited to submit an application and help raise funds and awareness for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

As of now, the deadline to register is Tuesday, June 30.

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.
