As 2008 is now at our doorstep, the staff at ZuZu is looking forward to another year of special events, Monday Night Chef’s Tables and ultimately doing what we are known for: serving up honest American fare in a comfortable, stylish setting, professionally and with genuine hospitality.
We are pleased that Pat Duncan has agreed to be our guest of honor again this year at a Monday Night Chef’s table on January 14. He is a pioneer organic farmer in Arizona, and his prolific farm in Litchfield Park is now in prime growing season. Join us and sample his beautiful vegetables with some carefully selected beverages.
Beer is still one of the world’s favorite thirst quenchers, and it happens to be one of the oldest drinks in existence. For our Chef’s Table on Monday, January 28 we’ve invited Grolsch, one of Europe’s oldest breweries founded in 1615, to provide the beverages for our four-course dinner. See why they are credited for refining the natural method of beer brewing almost four centuries ago, the same method used by Grolsch to this day.
The success of a restaurant will always depend on the strong core of an experienced, highly motivated staff. I am deeply thankful to the many people who make a ZuZu experience possible, and would like to just take a moment to recognize our amazing employees for their contributions during the past two years.
Please join me in welcoming our new Chef de Cuisine Justin Pfeilsticker. While his background is predominantly classical, his approach to new American Cuisine is firmly rooted in solid technique and time-honored flavor marriages.
Hopefully you’ve enjoyed our little café and it has struck a chord in some way; that through the food, beverage, service and ambiance, it invokes the feeling that somehow you have come home.
