Chef Scott Girod brings Anello's wood-fired style to Tucson Doobie dinner Aug. 30

Tucson Doobie brings its infused dinner series back with a five-course feast presented by Prime Leaf Dispensary. This time, the club taps Anello chef-owner Scott Girod for a wood-fired evening on Sunday, Aug. 30. Seating begins at 6 p.m. The location is private and near 4th Avenue; ticket holders receive the address by email. Tickets are $85 plus tax and gratuity and are available only to Tucson Doobie members. First-timers can add a first-month membership for $19 at checkout. Purchase here.

Girod opened Anello in Tucson's Warehouse Arts District after studying pizza-making in Naples and spending four years cooking under James Beard Award-winning pizzaiolo Chris Bianco, including time running the Bianco kitchen in Tucson. His restaurant uses a wood-fired oven and local organic produce to highlight what's in season in the Sonoran Desert. The Aug. 30 dinner showcases Girod in a private setting, where he builds a five-course menu rooted in that same wood-fired, produce-forward philosophy.
