Arizona Chef's Week 2026 Old Town Scottsdale |
Old Town Scottsdale transforms into an open-air kitchen every evening during Arizona Chef's Week 2026, and this year the lineup leans boldly into the desert's own pantry. Expect mesquite-smoked lamb from ranches an hour's drive north, prickly pear reductions paired with Sonoran wheat flatbreads, and chilled corn consommés that somehow taste like a monsoon afternoon.
Beyond the plates themselves, the real draw is watching chefs collaborate in real time, a pastry chef from Tempe finishing a savory dish started by a line cook from Flagstaff, rivalries dissolved by shared curiosity.
Reserve early; pop-up seatings sell out before the saguaros even notice the sun has set. |
