Pasco Kitchen & Lounge is hosting an 8 week local food artisan dining series this summer from Saturday, July 1 – August 26.
First up, Tucson’s local butcher, Ben Forbes of Forbes Meat Company, drops by Saturday, July 1 from 8 – 10 p.m.
He supplies many of Tucson’s local restaurants with quality local cuts of meat and specializes in whole animal butchery and custom meat cuts.
Pasco Kitchen & Lounge will have some of Ben’s house-made sausages on hand and create special accoutrements to go along with the flavor profiles of each item.
They’re only getting started, though.
If you can’t make it to the first local food artisan experience, there’s plenty more to go around as the kitchen keeps whipping ’em up throughout the summer.

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.
