About devour Phoenix
Started by Local First Arizona, Devour Phoenix rose up as a collaborative coalition of local chefs working to create a destination food and dining scene worthy of national prestige.
The cornerstone of this coalition is Devour Week, a multi-event food and drink experience hosted in February. At the helm of Devour Week is the Culinary Classic. For more than a decade, this award-winning culinary festival has featured Arizona’s best chefs, purveyors, wineries, and artists providing a sensory experience of desert sounds, tastes, sights, and feel. In addition to the Culinary Classic, the 7 Chefs Dinner and Devour the World round out Devour Week’s are two signature culinary events.
