HUB Restaurant & Creamery and Barrio Brewing Company are hosting a five-course dinner from 6 – 9 p.m on Monday, October 28.
Other than the great food popping out of the HUB’s kitchen and the classic brews from Barrio Brewing, the setting of the dinner is worth mentioning — the lovely downtown Tucson.
Within the five courses you’ll have the familiarity of flavors, but there’s also going to be new dishes for you to devour.
Seats are $65 per person and you can grab your spot by calling (520) 207-8201.

Matt Sterner
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.
