The new spot is located at 1104 S. Wilmot Rd. and the 1,190-square-feet-space was previously operated by Holy Smokin’ Butts BBQ — which moved into a larger location this past May.

Chef Gauthier is excited about the new restaurant, and it’s also a great way to celebrate her Iron Chef Tucson 2019 win.

“We have been in biz for 18 years, but kind of hidden,” Gauthier said.  “In the last few years, we have tried to be out in the public more and now with the Iron Chef Win, we have such an amazing following. We wanted to be able to serve more people.”

Inside, the space will feature family-style farm tables and seating for 30. The menu will feature breakfast and lunch options such as eggs, breakfast bowls, high protein options, sandwiches, salads, wraps, and grab-and-go meals.

“I am so grateful and humbled by all the support the community has given me,” Gauthier said. “From my Iron Chef win to just all the years of being in business, we cannot wait to share our new location and future with you.”

SAVOR showcases the diversity of food and ingredients by bringing more than 60 of the region’s best chefs, wineries, breweries, and local restaurants together.

The artistic side of the city continues to expand throughout Tucson as it molds a unique gathering of local businesses. With so many local restaurants, breweries, and wineries popping up in the region it’s hard to keep track and taste them all, but that’s why this festival is so well supported.

Tickets are $79 per person and that includes samples from all wineries, breweries, distilleries, restaurants, and food purveyors.

VIP Tickets are also available at $125 per person and gets you in one hour early, scores you reserved parking, access to all Tucson Botanical Gardens exhibits, and everything that comes with the General Admission access.

Last year’s tickets vanished days before the event, so don’t wait too long to purchase yours.

The Steam Pump Ranch and its iconic 1800’s ranch house is quite the backdrop for more than 25 vineyards and wineries, local fare from a variety of AZ food trucks, live jazz music performed by the Pete Swan Trio and local artisans.

“Off the Vine has quickly become one of our biggest events of the year, and after seeing record-breaking attendance in 2019 we’re expecting an even bigger crowd for 2020,” said Kris Pothier, president of the Arizona Wine Growers Association and owner of Chateau Tumbleweed. “

If you’re not too familiar with wine and aren’t even sure what kind of wine you like, this is a great opportunity to interact with the participating winemakers.

Go ahead and pick their brain about the history of their wine, learn how it’s made, and taste what sets it apart.

Tickets are $25 per person and it’s free admission for designated drivers and kids.
