Arizona Restaurant Association

Chef’s Week is back! The Arizona Restaurant Association (ARA) has announced dates for its second annual Arizona Chef’s Week, presented by DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS. This 10-day culinary experience is dedicated to promoting and bringing awareness to local restaurants during the slower summer season in the Phoenix area and beyond. The 2026 Arizona Chef’s Week begins Friday, July 31 and runs through Sunday, Aug. 9.

During the event, participating chef-driven restaurants offer unique three-course prix fixe menus priced at $55 or $66 per person, depending on the establishment.

“Summer in the Valley of the Sun is a historically slow time for the hospitality industry, and that slowdown can hit our locally owned and chef-driven establishments pretty hard,” said Arizona Restaurant Association President and CEO Steve Chucri. “Arizona Chef’s Week serves as a time when chefs can showcase truly unique menu items for a fraction of their regular price, while giving culinary enthusiasts an incredible meal.”&nbsp;

The Arizona Restaurant Association (ARA) is dedicated to supporting, advocating for and bringing awareness to establishments in the Arizona hospitality industry. It produces the popular twice yearly Arizona Restaurant Week, one which takes place in the Spring and the other which takes place in the Fall.

Arizona Chef’s Week debuted in 2025 to further support the smaller, independent and chef-owned establishments that find the slow summer season particularly challenging. With prix fixe menus priced at just $55 or $66 per person, the Arizona Chef’s Week format is intended to present diners with an unforgettable meal for a great deal while giving them an additional opportunity to support their favorite local restaurants and to discover new ones.

Arizona Chef’s Week encourages chefs to get creative and step outside the box from their usual menus, offering many items that are only available during the 10-day event. Diners can expect highly seasonal ingredients at their peak, limited-availability ingredients, bold and trending flavors, innovative meals and next-level presentations exclusive to Chef’s Week menus.

To ensure these establishments are positively benefited by this event, the number of restaurants that can participate in Arizona Chef’s Week is intentionally limited. Currently, participants for the 2026 Arizona Chef’s Week include:

Beckett’s Table
Beginner’s Luck
Carcara
Chico Malo
Citizen Public House
Collins Brothers Public House Copper &amp; Sage

New this year is the introduction of the Chef Dinner Series, which dovetails Arizona Chef’s Week with exclusive ticketed dining experiences at popular and prestigious local restaurants. These events are currently scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 5 at Beckett’s Table and Thursday, Aug. 6 at Tarbell’s, with others to be announced. Addition details about the Chef Dinner Series and how diners can obtain tickets are forthcoming.&nbsp;

Diners can learn more about Arizona Chef’s Week at <a href="https://arizonachefsweek.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.arizonachefsweek.com</a>. By mid-July, participating establishments’ Arizona Chef’s Week menus will be live here for guests to preview.

Nile Underground, 105 W Main St, Mesa, AZ, 85210

It’s not a party — it’s therapy at 120 decibels. House of Heavy is coming to Mesa on 1 August 2026, taking over Nile Underground for the loudest, hardest, most cathartic night out your city has to offer.
Built for the fans who crave the pit, the riffs, the breakdowns, and the chaos, House of Heavy brings the energy of a packed metal show without waiting for the next tour to roll through town. This is a DJ-driven heavy music night built on nu-metal nostalgia, alt-metal anthems, and metalcore breakdowns, the tracks that raised you and still make you want to throw down. From Slipknot to Spiritbox, Korn to Knocked Loose, Deftones to Bad Omens, expect deep cuts, classics, and nonstop heaters all night long.
Grab your crew. Lace up your boots. Bring your rage, your voice, and the energy you’ve been saving for the next festival. When your favorite band isn’t in town, House of Heavy is. Don’t wait for your favorite band’s next tour date, make this the night.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/148228/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
