Carnitas Los Equipales

In 2017, chef Brian Smith was selected to represent Tucson in Parma by a local board incorporated with UNESCO — the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.  In time, the group designated the Old Pueblo as an official City of Gastronomy.

Now, chef Smith is ready to share his knowledge by sharing a dinner featuring meats, cheeses, and other cuisine that made the Italian city, Parma, so legendary.

The menu has yet to be released, but will consist of Parmigiano-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma.

Tickets are $69 per person.

Before the talented actors enter the Center of the Arts stage at 7:30 p.m., the Pima Community College’s Hospitality Management will be delivering a gourmet meal out on the courtyard.

Seats are $75 per person and includes dinner and your ticket to the show. If you’re interested in a sponsor table for eight people it’s $800.
