The 21st Annual Flavors of Phoenix is a unique gourmet delight sure to please

your palate. Thirty of the top chefs from across the state of Arizona assemble for a night of elaborate table décor, exquisite food, fine wine, and a great cause. Each chef has his or her own table for 12 with the responsibility of providing linens, flowers, theme-related objects or any other items to make each table unique. 

The setting also includes a cooking station so that all food preparation can be done

right in front of the gala’s guests who enjoy at least five courses with accompanying wines. This allows all guests to interact with the chef and with one another while learning some tips from the experts.
