"We believe good food heals"

Here’s to a business that’s been helping the community for half of a century.

Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona is celebrating its 50th anniversary by collaborating with local restaurants from 5 – 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 17.

For a business that delivers up to 100,000 meals every year, you can bet they’ve prepared to deliver an awesome event that not only supports them but gives back to the Tucson culinary community, too.

Multiple local restaurants will be serving up fixed menus on the day of, which will be available for dine-in, pickup, or delivery by a “fabulous Mobile Meals volunteer.”

So far, Feast, Renee’s Organic Oven, Chef Chic, Fork U BBQ, and Casa Molina Del Norte have announced their participation in the event, and more restaurants, and each of their menus, are expected to be revealed soon. Tickets are $50 once they become available and you’ll have to stay tuned for more updates as we creep closer to the celebration.

Meanwhile, here’s some advice from Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona:

“One great idea is to host a dinner party and let us bring the food to you…no cooking and no dishes.”

Matt Sterner

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.
