Back in 2001, chef Wendy Gauthier started her catering company in Tucson and had no idea how successful her culinary career would blossom.
Now, Gauthier is ready to celebrate her 20th anniversary by inviting the community to Chef Chic on Sunday, September 19 at 1104 S. Wilmot Rd.
20th Anniversary Party Details
The anniversary festivities will be taking flight from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. and include complimentary tastings of some of Chef Chic’s most popular dishes, face painting, cornhole games, and more.
Plus, additional parking and beverages will be available for purchase at Monkey Bar located next door.
The accolades continue to roll in
Now that she’s had a successful 20 years, including winning multiple awards in that time, Gauthier is ready for another 20 years. Recently, she was named in the AZ Star Readers Choice Awards as the “Best Caterer” for the sixth year in a row.
“This is my passion — to provide the best food in the most convenient, delicious way,” said Gauthier. “Even during this pandemic year, it has truly been a labor of love for us to be here to offer catering, grab and go, and dine-in service for all of our guests. We are so grateful for their support.”

More about MattAt 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.
