Like A High School Reunion, but with much better Food

Only one thing could be better than thirteen amazing chefs and 20 talented sommeliers and mixologists under one roof for one night; attending that dinner and supporting a great local organization.

On August 22nd, an incredibly creative and gifted group of restaurant legends will gather at Cowboy Ciao for an Alumni Dinner. The name of the dinner is based on the fact that all the participants have spent time working at Cowboy Ciao at one time or another, in one capacity or another.

The Bites

The menu is still under wraps, but the five course dinner is guaranteed to be epic with a list of contributors like this:

• Citizen Public House and The Gladly‘s Bernie Kantak
• Pig & Pickle‘s Keenan Bosworth
• Virtu Honest Craft’s Gio Osso
• Nobuo at Teeter House‘s Nobuo Fukada
• Tracy Dempsey Originals‘ Tracy Dempsey
• Roka Akor‘s German Sega
• Cowboy Ciao‘s Lester Gonzalez
• Super Chunk Sweets and Treats‘ Country Velador
• and many others

The Booze

Also presently a closely guarded secret, but you can expect libations courtesy of:

• Bar Crudo‘s Abby Martinie
• Cowboy Ciao‘s Alexa Bowler
• Main Ingredient Ale House & Cafe‘s Matt Diamond
• Nook Kitchen‘s Tagan Dering and Frank Vairo
• and many others

The Bucks

For only $125 you can experience a once in a lifetime 5 course dinner (includes all wine and cocktail pairings). You’re definitely going to need reservations as this dinner is going to sell out crazy fast!

The Bonus

A portion of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to UMOM, the largest homeless shelter specifically for families in the state. Their goal is to “prevent and end homelessness with innovative strategies and housing solutions that meet the unique needs of each family and individual.”

Cowboy Ciao is located at 7133  E. Stetson Dr. in Scottsdale. Call 480.946.3111 for reservations.
