It’s a celebration with a little flavor from the Old Pueblo.
The sixth annual Festival del Chef Sonora is celebrating their recent designation as a member of the Delice Network from 4 – 10 p.m. on Thursday, April 4.
Tucson is also a member of the network, and this year’s event will be highlighting the city’s designation as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. This means a ton for the city because it’s not only promoting the region’s gastronomy scene, but is also giving Tucson a bigger presence in Hermosillo.
In order to create the bond that’s helping keep all of these great chefs, restaurants, and food lovers together, Visit Tucson and the Arizona Office of Tourism are teaming up to deliver a great time at the festival.

Matt Sterner
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.
