Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

On Tuesday, Oct. 3, at 6:30 p.m., there will be a unique pop-dining experience created by El Panzon y Frida and Twisted Infusion Farms, a urban farm in Glendale. 

As part of a two-year photojournalism series by Edible Phoenix Magazine entitled “Arizona on a Plate,” El Panzon y Frida’s young Executive Chef, Paulina Martinez, paired up with Heather Szymura from Twisted Infusion Farms, a unique urban farm located in Glendale. The two met at Twisted Infusions for a personal tour by Szymura, exploring her 40-foot, 63° container farm filled with vibrant hydroponic produce thriving under red and green LED lights. 

From this visit grew an instant friendship and a burst of inspiration for the pop-dinner menu, a follow up experience to the interview recently featured in the Fall issue of Edible Phoenix.  The three-course dinner will highlight twisted infusions fresh and locally grown herbs and peppers, combined with Chef Martinez’ hearty New York strip for the main entrée.
