About this Event
Join the Phoenix Bioscience Core and the Downtown Phoenix Farmer’s Market for an immersive culinary experience aimed to show you how fine dining can still be nutritious and healthy! Four award winning local chefs are partnering with nutrition experts and researchers from across Phoenix to deliver a four-course meal and cocktails that integrate the latest research in dietetics and nutrition with fine culinary style. This community event will be under the stars in Downtown Phoenix at the home of the Downtown Phoenix Farmer’s Market. All proceeds will go 100% to the Downtown Phoenix Farmer’s Market, which supports more than 100 local vendors on a weekly basis in the heart of Downtown Phoenix.
What to expect:
The program will begin at 6:00 PM with a community happy hour and live entertainment with the dinner commencing at 6:45 PM
Guests will sit in tables of 10 and be accompanied by a nutrition coach, a student from ASU, NAU, University of Arizona or Maricopa Community College who will guide you through each dish and be there to answer any questions. These students are studying to serve our community as health professionals, so this coaching experience will provide a great learning opportunity about translating research and science to the real world. Bring a friend or your organization for an event you will not want to miss!
As mentioned, all ticket sales and sponsorship proceeds will go to Community Food Connections, which organizes the Downtown Phoenix Farmer’s Market. If you are interested in purchasing a table for your group or organization, or if you would like to sponsor the program, please contact Samantha Jackson [email protected]
