The highly anticipated Seven Chefs Dinner returns this February 16, 2020, with an all-star lineup of the state’s top culinary talents teaming up for a one-night-only multi-course feast. Held as part of Devour Week and the 11th annual Devour Culinary Classic, and hosted at The Gladly in Phoenix on Sunday, February 16 from 4 – 7 pm, the Seven Chefs Dinner brings together a septet of the state’s best homegrown culinary talent, with each chef whipping up different course, and all paired with au-natural wines by Chris Lingua of Sauvage Bottle Shop at the Churchill in downtown Phoenix. 

While the rest of the nation shivers through another freezing February, the 11th annual Devour Culinary Classic (February 22 & 23, 2020) will be serving up a heaping helping of homegrown food, wine and fun in the Arizona sun (average high temperature: 72-degrees). Hosted amidst the towering Saguaros of the Southwest’s largest botanical garden, Desert Botanical Garden, Devour showcases the combined culinary talents of more than 40 of Arizona’s top restaurants, highlighted by the newly-announced VIP Chefs, Justin Beckett of Beckett’s Table and Southern Rail and Stephen Jones of the larder + the delta. Most important, as a fundraiser for the non-profit Local First Arizona, the largest locally-owned business coalition in North America, the Devour Culinary Classic is one of the few high-profile culinary events that intentionally focuses on local talent. 

Phoenix, AZ (October 2, 2019) - The most anticipated culinary week of the season returns February 15 - 23, 2020. Devour Week is comprised of three signature events, Seven Chefs Dinner, Devour the World presented by the City of Peoria, and Devour Culinary Classic, all of which aim to elevate Arizona’s culinary and cocktail culture and spotlight the region as a world class destination for food and dining.
