Here’s a sweet competition with a bit of a kick at the end.
Playground Bar & Lounge and the fearless women of Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona are hosting “Cookies & Cocktails” from 6 – 8 p.m. on Wednesday, January 30.
While the Girl Scouts are busy distributing their cherished cookies to people near and far, the annual competition allows adults to have fun, too. Each contestant will be creating a cookie-inspired cocktail and dessert for you to enjoy.
This year, there are a total of five judges, including Tucson Foodie’s big cheese Adam Lehrman, and they’ll be handing out the award for best cocktail. However, there’s still a People’s Choice Award, so get your taste buds prepared to try ’em all.
The Playground Bar & Lounge will also be offering craft beer, cookie and wine pairings, light appetizers, games, and giveaways throughout the evening.
Tickets are $55 per person.

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.
