Tucson’s underground culinary competition, Knife Fight, slices back on the scene for a third season at Charro Steak from 9 – 11 p.m. on Monday, August 12.
This year’s fight will be similar to the previous competitions. Each participating chef and the Knife Fight Venue brings a secret ingredient to the battle, and both chefs have 45 minutes to prepare three different dishes.
In other words, each of the dishes will have one secret ingredient to rock your taste buds.
This year’s judges will then decide on a winner based on three things:
- Taste
- Presentation
- Use of secret ingredients
There’s also going to be a Cocktail Fight and that kicks off on the second week.
The rules are similar to that of the Knife Fight, but the participants will only have 15 minutes to make three cocktails that include the secret ingredients.
The event is free to attend. Gift cards to local restaurants are being auctioned off throughout the night, and all proceeds will help support a local family in need.
The Tucson’s Knife Fight culinary roster will be announced soon.
Charro Steak is located at 188 E. Broadway Blvd. For more information and to stay in touch with the competition, visit Knife Fight’s Facebook Event Page.

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.
