March 2024 R&D Dinner: Chef Devon Sanner of Zio Peppe

Mar 3, 20241 min read

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 Foodie Club members, who can make their reservations directly in the Tucson Foodie mobile app.

Keep scrolling to see the menu!

@Lovinspoonfulstucson is closing after more than 20 years in Tucson. Its final day of service runs on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Customers can stop in between now and Saturday for one last meal. The team plans to sell down its inventory, though it hopes to have favorite dishes available. Regular hours remain 9am-3pm through the final day.

“Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.”
