With each year’s passing, the monthly event continues to change, get tastier, and grow into a much bigger culinary experience with its vast group of collaborators.

To put 2020 in perspective, PY Steakhouse and executive chef Ryan Clark are inviting local farmers from Southern Arizona into the kitchen to craft multi-course dinners with paired beverages.

First up, is Erik Stanford from Pivot Produce and will involve using hand-picked, mindfully-sourced, Arizona-grown ingredients.

“We’ll explore my culinary story and the cuisines of wintery rural Wisconsin, Katrina-ravaged New Orleans and the arid agriculture of the desert Southwest all while using ingredients grown or foraged right here in the Sonoran Desert.” said Erik Stanford.

Seats range from $75 – $125 per person and you can make reservations by calling (520) 324-9350.

Spread throughout the store, all guests will have the opportunity to check out the beautifully plated dishes, taste samples, listen to live music, and then even enter to win a piece to take home from Copenhagen.

Once you enter the The Art of Plating event you’ll find separate stations for each chef where the actual plating will take place. After you’ve gotten a clear choice of which tasted and looked the best you can vote for your favorite in the People’s Choice Award.

General admission tickets are $55 per person, which includes food samples and beverages, and then a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Community Food Bank.

Day-pass tickets are $55 per person (unless you’ve already got a room at the ranch)
