Phoenix, Arizona, February 6, 2019- Arizona Foodie is happy to announce that on March 23, 2019, she will present Smoked, a unique food event featuring top local chefs, innovative cocktails, live entertainment, and more!

“I wanted to create an event that captures the quality and talent of the Arizona Food scene but also keep it very intimate,” says Diana Brandt, perhaps best known as Arizona Foodie, or @AZFoodie on Instagram. “There’s something primal about cooking with fire and it’ll be really cool for the guests to interact with the Chefs and watch them as they prepare distinctive dishes. It’s going to be lit. You will be amazed how creative these Chefs will get. I can’t wait to see what they come up with!”

Nothing goes better with amazing food, than good drinks. Guests will be wowed as they hang out in the Bulleit Smoked Lounge, complete with comfy furniture and smoked drinks. Sponsored by Ketel One, Seagram’s, Bulleit, Johnnie Walker and Union Mezcal, Smoked is a cultivated 21+ event that gives you the chance to chat with chefs while participating in social media worthy photo opportunities.

In addition to a Seagram’s decked out airstream, which includes a photo booth and a dry ice cocktails, Brandt has tapped some of Arizona’s favorite chefs to bring their best to the table. Her impressive list includes:

Chef Walter Sterling from Ocotillo

Chef Alex Levine from Starlite BBQ

Chef Stephen Jones from The Larder + The Delta

Chef Tyson Tellez from Roka Akor

Chef Aaron May from Malibu Burger, The Goodwood Tavern, The Lodge Sasquatch Kitchen and Over Easy

Clever Koi

Chef Nick LaRosa from Nook Kitchen

Chef Matt Carter from The Mission, Zinc Bistro and Fat Ox

Chef Adam Allison of Handlebar Diner

Chef Dell Morris from Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North

Chef Paulo from Obon Sushi Bar Ramen

Chef Justine Dachel of Jewel's Bakery and Cafe

Tricia from Toasted Mallow

Says Brandt, “Prepare to have your mind blown.”

Chefs will have the freedom to prepare any food they want as long as there’s an element of smoke.

“I truly want the Smoked experience to be available to everyone. So I’m keeping this upscale event affordable so the ticket price doesn’t kill the budget,” says Brandt. “I’m hoping that this event will show many of the people that follow me how amazing our food scene is and get them out of their routines and into these restaurants.”
