The dinner will be held downtown at HUB, 266 E. Congress St., at 7 p.m. on Sunday, August 20. Whiskey will be creatively infused in each paired dish and cocktail, making it a unique opportunity to taste through Del Bac’s award-winning selection: Old Pueblo, Classic, Dorado, and the limited releases Frontera and Normandie.

Normandie was actually just named one of the “12 Best New Spirits of the Year” by Robb Report and was made from 100 percent malted barley and aged in charred virgin-oak barrels.

Tickets are $102 per person and you’ll need to be at least 21 years old to attend.

Opened in 2023, @kabulcorner is Tucson’s only Afghan restaurant, created to provide jobs, community, and a taste of home for Afghan families who made Tucson their new home. 

Today, Sediq Haidari and his family serve traditional Afghan dishes like bolani, mantou, Kabuli palaw, fresh tandoori naan, and house-made chaka, while preserving recipes and traditions rooted in Afghanistan’s rich history. 

With its warm hospitality, authentic food, and strong sense of community, Kabul Corner has become a little piece of home in the Sonoran Desert. ❤️ 

“These dishes are famous not only in Afghanistan, but in neighboring countries like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Iran, and even parts of China. It sits right between Indian and Arabic food.” Sediq Haidari
