For those who have lived in Tucson long enough, it doesn’t take much of a temperature drop for it to feel like Jack Frost is nipping at our noses. So, let’s heat things up a bit!

On Thursday, December 22, Tucson Foodie Presents: The Jack Frost Lounge. That’s right. We’re turning The Jackrabbit Lounge into an adult winter wonderland from 7 p.m. – 2 a.m.
The Jackrabbit Lounge is already a treat but here’s what you can expect after Jack Frost has decked its halls:
- A special holiday cocktail menu
- Wall-to-wall holiday decor
- Alluring elf dancers
- Holiday selfie vignettes
Then, to top the party’s Christmas tree, some of the funkiest holiday music to ever grace your ears will be bouncing off the walls. Oh, and don’t forget to wear your tackiest, ugliest, or most adorable holiday sweater.

There’s limited space at this one-of-a-kind party — 170 spots to be exact — and tickets are $10 per person (you must be 21 years or older to attend this event).
Also, tickets are still available for our Chinese Sonoran X-mas Feast on Tuesday, December 20. We’ve teamed up with Maynards and local chefs Feng-Feng Yeh and Rusty Ramirez to deliver a dinner focused on the chiltepin’s native culinary heritage to the southwest while exploring how it can be utilized to evoke Chinese cuisine.

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.
