We’re excited to welcome Chef Christian Padilla of Copper Ash Culinary to our Elgin Tasting Room as we continue our series of Chef’s Dinners. Chef Padilla is a Tucson-based private chef and consultant who brings a distinct voice to Southwestern dining. Prior to opening Copper Ash Culinary, Christian Padilla was Chef de Cuisine at Flying V in Loews Ventana Canyon where he built a reputation for dishes which folded classical French techniques with the depth and soul of Sonoran flavors.
Before relocating back to Arizona, Chef Christian Padilla cooked in Spain and was well known in the foodie scene in Seattle, Washington. Born in Nogales, Arizona, Christian’s approach to food was shaped by the Sonoran borderlands. He draws upon traditional recipes with multicultural influences and transforms them into a cuisine that is evocative and precise.
Join us in the Elgin Tasting Room at 5:30pm for a Sonoran coastal menu featuring mesquite-grilled seafood such as Elote Oysters, Rabbit Al Pastor, and venison. Tickets are $150 and include dinner and wine, tax and gratuity are added at checkout.
Make an evening of it, book a casita with your dinner reservation! Call us at (520) 373-2074 to book a casita for Sunday, May 17 at 25% off when you purchase tickets to our Chef’s Dinner.
