Eat, support & have fun during Sonoran Restaurant Week 2020

Sep 24, 20202 min read

The second annual Sonoran Restaurant Week is coming back for a 10-day celebration from Friday, October 2 – Sunday, October 11.

Just like last year’s inaugural event, Sonoran Restaurant Week strives to accomplish the following: draw attention to local restaurants, expose their unique flavors to the masses, and help support the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

“Whether you’re sharing takeout with a live-in family member, or dining safely at a socially-distanced restaurant, connecting with loved ones over food is important to who we are as Tucsonans,” said co-founder and organizer, Laura Reese. “I hope our community is able to use Sonoran Restaurant Week to find moments to connect and share with those around them.”

This year, all of the participating local restaurants are releasing limited three-course meals — for dine-in or takeout — at discounted prices. They’ll range from $25 to $35 a person, and in turn, you’re providing food assistance to thousands of people across the region.

The list may expand but in the meantime, take a look at the restaurants that have already signed on to share their flavors.

Like previously mentioned, Sonoran Restaurant Week supports local restaurants, but also the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

The non-profit’s mission is to change lives in the communities they serve by feeding the hungry, and then building a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow. To put their efforts in perspective, their programs include providing sack lunches, 2,000 meals every day for seniors, and after-school eating options at Caridad Community Kitchen.

More about Matt

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.

“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.”
