This year, the fifth day of Hanukkah is bringing some heat straight out of the kitchen.
The Young Leadership of the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona and the Tucson Jewish Community Center are hosting an Iron Chef Latke Competition from 6:30 – 9 p.m. on Saturday, December 16.
Whether you’d like to compete or just chow down the competitors’ creations, the battle is taking place inside the JCC’s state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen.
The night will be filled with food, drinks, a menorah lighting, and even a dreidel spin-off.
Tickets are $10 per person, and you can register online if you’d like to show off your latke-making skills.
Feel free to let loose without the children hanging around, too, because complimentary childcare is also available with advance notice.
The Tucson Jewish Community Center is located at 3800 E. River Rd. For more information, call (520) 299-3000 and visit tucsonjcc.org to buy tickets.

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.
