Vero Amore to Host an 11-Course Lord of the Rings-themed Dinner at ‘The Still’

September 14, 2023

If you’ve never had the chance to nerd out about a dinner, here’s your chance. Gather up your dearest friends from The Shire because Vero Amore is hosting an 11-course dinner inspired by “The Lord of the Rings” at The Still — the restaurant’s hidden speakeasy at 2920 N. Swan Rd.

The feast that’s fit for a Hobbit is happening on Friday, September 22.

And, just in case you read too fast or somehow missed the mention in the prior sentence, this meal has a total of 11 courses (Elevenses) at The Shire, I mean, The Still. At least four of the dishes on the menu are influenced by key components of the Elevenses guidelines, such as Second Breakfast.

“We’ve had one, yes. What about second breakfast?”
– Pippin Took

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.
