Arizona Restaurant Week is the most edible time of the year, giving local, regional and national food lovers the opportunity to enjoy a prix-fixe dinner for $33 or $44 per person (unless noted: excluding beverages, tax and gratuity) at a number of participating Valley and Arizona restaurants. Arizona Restaurant Week’s goal is to position Arizona as one of the top culinary destinations in the nation by increasing awareness of the many dining opportunities available in the state, as well as stimulating business and revenue for restaurants throughout Arizona. I spoke with Arizona Restaurant Association President Steve Chucri about the event, about reaching now into Tucson and Sedona. about culinary education, and, since Steve is also a County Supervisor, about the huge growth of Maricopa County!
