135 S. Sixth Ave.
With more than three decades under his belt since he opened his downtown restaurant at the Tucson Museum of Art back in the day, Janos Wilder is our biggest celebrity chef and the godfather of the farm-to-table movement—he was growing his own herbs and veggies way before it was cool. His latest joint, DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails, remains fabulous, but if you really want to learn what he's all about, sign up for one of his cooking classes at the Carriage House. Not only will you hone your own kitchen skills, but you'll enjoy an incredible meal with plenty of wine as part of the evening. Bon appetit!
