From all the way down on Route 66, to over here along the train tracks in downtown Tucson, a unique dinner awaits your arrival.
Maynards has joined forces with Mother Road Brewing Company for a multi-course pre-fixe dinner at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 23.
The Flagstaff brewery has selected a few beers that aim to pair rather nicely with dishes from chef Brian Smith. Therefore, an abundance of flavors ought to be bursting out of Maynards, which is nestled inside the iconic downtown train depot.
Mother Road Brewing knows a thing about history, too, being that it rests along the original 1926 alignment of Route 66.
Seats are $80 per person and five courses of food and five beers.

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.
