Three months into 2023 and Tucson’s culinary scene has been vibrant, active, and fresher than ever. Speaking of fresh, this dinner is one you won’t want to miss.
From 6 – 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 29, Tucson Village Farm is teaming up with James Beard award-winner and owner of Barrio Bread, Don Guerra to bring an unforgettable Spring gathering.
It’s all about freshness at this dinner, which features Arizona heritage grains on the farm’s outdoor patio that overlooks the majestic Catalina Mountains. Enjoy a drink, the views of a beautiful sunset, and dine alfresco at the Tucson Village Farm 4-H Healthy Living Center located at 2201 E. Roger Rd.

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.
