After an incredible dinner at JoJo’s last month, we’re excited to announce the next dinner in our new chef-led R&D dinner series.

On Tuesday, March 26, we’re headed to Zio Peppe for an evening with Chef Devon Sanner.

To catch you up to speed, Chef Sanner is an Iron Chef Tucson finalist, the brains behind the Gastronomic Union of Tucson, one of Tucson City of Gastronomy’s eight chef ambassadors, and an all-around incredibly talented chef.

Sanner will treat those attending to a multi-course meal featuring experimental dishes planned for future menus at Zio Peppe. Guests are invited to share feedback on each dish via comment cards and directly with Sanner and his team during a fireside chat at the end of the evening.

Seats, priced at just $65 per person (all of which goes straight to the Chef and his crew) are limited to just 56 people. These tickets are available exclusively to members of Tucson Foodie Insiders, who can make their reservations directly in the Tucson Foodie mobile app.

Future R&D dinners:

  • Chef Gary Hickey of Charro Steak – Saturday, April 20
  • Corbett’s – Saturday, May 18
  • La Olla Mexican Cafe – Wednesday, June 12
  • Tavolino – Monday, July 15
