All summer long, The Coronet is hosting a series of “Seat at the Table” dinners, and the next meal is happening from 7 – 10 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31.
This time around, The Coronet has invited Mary Grace Rodarte of Valley of the Sun Fine Wines to the table for a serving of compatibility at its finest in five courses.
One of the most unique features of the dinner is that you’re the center of attention while it’s closed off to the general public. The last “Seat at the Table” dinner was a hit, and this one is already off to a good start with nearly half of the seats already taken.
This dinner is slightly larger, too, with a total of 40 spots available.
Seats are $70 per person with wine pairings. The required reservations can be made by calling (520) 444-2830.

More about MattAt 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.
