Crudo To Host Star-Studded, Mystery Menu Monthly Dinner Series
Co-hosted with fellow Valley chefs such as Jared Porter & Bernie Kantak, Crudo’s Blank Space dinner series takes tastebuds on a tasty leap of faith, starting October 6.

Who: Daring diners, local food lovers and anyone else looking for a new, ever-changing culinary adventure.

What: It’s just like murder mystery dinner theatre, without all the hammy acting, rubbery chicken dishes and, you know, murder. Hosted on the first Monday of each month starting on October 6 at 6 pm with chef Jared Porter of Clever Koi, Crudo’s new Blank Space dinner series is a can’t-miss, wildly-creative and no-holds-barred culinary throwdown. For $75++ per person, guests will receive a time, date and the name of the celebrity guest chef, and that’s about it. Make sure to call 602-358-8666 to save your seat and pay in advance. The rest, from the gourmet multi-course meal to the handcrafted cocktail or fine wine pairings, will be left to the discretion of Crudo’s chef Cullen Campbell and his talented chef co-host.

It’s the ultimate leap of faith for daring diners, but also a great way to get inside the head of your favorite local chefs, to see what they’d make if they had no rules or parameters or a set menu to follow. Plus, with a chef lineup featuring names like Fletcher, McCabe, Curtiss and Binkley, guests can rest assured that their tastebuds are in for a treat. Full lineup below.
