A spicy event

EVIT's annual Mystery Chef Dinner is coming up on March 10, and this year it promises to be rather spicy.


This year's dinner theme is "spice," so top chefs from around the Valley will be using all kinds to flavor your food. The "mystery" is which of the great chefs will be preparing your meal.

Last year's cheesy theme will be hard to beat, but the chefs are up to the challenge.

Tickets are $65 per person and are tax deductible. All proceeds fund the EVIT culinary student scholarship fund, so you'll be getting a good meal and helping our students continue their culinary education.

Find more info here, and make your reservation by calling Tricia Guerrero at (480) 461-4139.

EVIT Mystery Chef Dinner a "cheesy" success

EVIT's annual Mystery Chef Dinner on Thursday night was a huge success. Chefs from top-notch Valley restaurants (like Tarbell's, Elements, The Ritz-Carlton and El Chorro Lodge) donated their time and skills for the event, working side-by-side with EVIT students.


The chefs each created a gourmet dinner with several courses, all centering around this year's theme: cheese.


All the money raised will go directly to culinary student scholarships.

Reserve your seat for EVIT's Mystery Chef Dinner

Enjoy a good mystery?

Then you should join the EVIT culinary department for its annual Mystery Chef Dinner on March 11.

The food will be amazing -- that's no mystery. But you won't know exactly who will be cooking for you until you arrive. Twelve well-known Valley chefs will be on hand to whip up some amazing culinary concoctions, all based around this year's theme: cheese.

Past chefs who have participated include Mark Tarbell of Tarbell's, Beau MacMillan of Elements, and Richard Dupere of The Ritz-Carlton, Phoenix.

Tickets are $65, and every dollar of that goes toward culinary student scholarships. The dinner will be held in the EVIT culinary department's banquet room. Hors d'oeuvres will be served during a silent auction, which begins at 6 p.m.; dinner starts at 7 p.m. To make reservations, call Tricia Guerrero at (480) 461-4139.

Last year's theme was chocolate. Check out photos from that event here.
