The photo below is from last year’s offal dinner, but rest assured that this season’s multi-course meal will be just as creative. The past experiences have landed right on Halloween but this year’s Offal Dinner at PY Steakhouse is arriving earlier at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, October 25.

The term offal refers to the organ meats of animals, which includes the heart, liver, tongue, kidney, brain, eyes, blood, etc. Offal is said to mean “off-fall”, or what is left after butchering. However, before refrigeration was common enough for everyone to own a fridge, these kinds of organs would have been eaten first before anything else.

So, if you’ve got the guts to taste the very creative offal meal at PY Steakhouse this year, expect to find edible items such as garum made with beef heart, foie gras buttercream in the Red Velvet Chocolate Cake, and “Popcorn” Pig’s Face.

A seat at the table is $150 per person and you’ll need to reserve your spot by emailing Jennifer Aspery at jennifer.aspery@casinodelsol.com. All four courses are also paired with a glass of wine.

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.
