Le Buzz Caffe

Since Tucson became the first city in the U.S. to be named a City of Gastronomy, chef Janos Wilder and others have traveled to other “sister” cities around the world to share the region’s culinary history and unique foods.

Now, Wilder is ready to share the flavors he’s collected. The culinary tour is making the summer’s final pit stop in Burgos, Spain.

Those living in Burgos tend to feast on roasted meats, the savory local cheese Queso de Burgos, and fish dishes such as Bacalao a la Burgalesa – despite being inland.

The menu is available for more than a month at DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails. Take a glance at the menu to give your taste buds something to look forward to.

It’s practically the biggest chile festival in Tucson and the smell of freshly roasted chile, family-friendly activities, and live music stretch over four days.

There’s a lot of fun to be had this year, and you’ve got multiple chances and locations to take part.

To start things off and really get things heated, the Green Valley Village Farmers & Artisans Market,  Trail Dust Town, and Oro Valley Farmers Market will be roasting and offering chile-themed specials from several vendors.

After that, the larger “Grande Chile Festival” takes over the Rincon Valley Farmers and Artisans Market and Rillito Park Farmers Market.

The resort’s award-winning culinary team at CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar are the minds behind the dinner that’s supporting the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.

The meal is going to be huge, too, with five glasses of wine from France.

Also, all of the chefs will be decked out in pink chef coats specially designed for the occasion, and will be worn for during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

A seat at the table is $250 per person and is limited to only 30 people. Be sure to make your reservation soon by calling (520) 572-3401.
