Join us for an evening under the stars with eight of Arizona’s top Chefs: Chris Bianco, Silvana Esparza, Christopher Gross, Vincent Guerithault, Mark Tarbell, Eugenia Theodosopoulos, Alessandro Stratta and Charles Wiley.

Enjoy an array of hors d’oeuvres prepared by each celebrity chef, along with wine and lively conversation. Master of Ceremonies is Barbara Fenzl, former owner of Les Gourmettes Cooking School, PBS television personality and cookbook author. 

Joining Barbara is Karen Fernau, retired food writer and member of the Arizona Culinary Hall of Fame, along with Howard Seftel, well-known Arizona food critic.

Tastes, Toasts & Tales is the kick-off for a collaboration between the Arizona Historical Society and Barbara Fenzl and other food pioneers to collect, preserve and share the history of Arizona’s culinary revolution. All proceeds benefit the Arizona Historical Society, whose mission is to connect people through the power of Arizona’s history.
