(props on the event name, Savor Scottsdale) will include dishes by five chefs including chef James Porter from Tapino, chef Aaron May from Sol y Sombra and Autostrada, chef Brandon Crouser from Atlas Bistro, chef Payton Curry from Digestif and Pastry Chef Tracy Dempsey from Spaghetti Western. Each chef will craft a reception appetizer and one of the five seated courses.
