From 6 – 9 p.m. on Sunday, November 17, Chef Kenneth Foy wants to treat you with another round of his 2024 Iron Chef Tucson dishes at Dante’s Fire, 2526 E. Grant Rd.
Each of the courses takes “scratch cooking” to a whole new level with the secret ingredients used at last month’s Iron Chef Tucson competition (pickles and Blue Moon). Also, this is likely your only chance to try what Chef Foy and his team created — an experience they’re calling “a pickle-packed, locally sourced dinner adventure you won’t forget.”
Seats at the table are $105 per person and include multiple courses with wine pairings. Spots are limited so reserve your seat by calling (520) 382-9255 or by visiting eventbrite.com.
The wine starts pouring at 6 p.m. so come thirsty!

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.
