Business of Heritage Foods- Sustainability Practices

When

9 to 10 a.m., April 13, 2023

Sponsored by the University of Arizona FORGE, the Tucson City of Gastronomy (TCoG) presents a monthly presentation, every second Thursday, on the business of heritage foods. Drawing on a community-wide network of resources, TCoG speakers will provide information on how to leverage Tucson's global designation as part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network to grow food-based businesses in Southern Arizona. This month we will hear from representatives of Cup Cafe/Maynard's/Hotel Congress, El Corral/Pinnacle Peak, and Pueblo Vida Brewery about how they incorporated sustainability practices into their businesses.

After the event, join us in the upstairs HUB from 10-11 am for drop-in mentoring with James Beard award-winning chef and TCoG Board President, Janos Wilder. Janos will be sharing one on one advice and insight with food entrepreneurs. This is a rare opportunity to meet up with one of Tucson's restaurant legends to ask questions for guidance on growing a food-focused business. Please indicate on your registration if you will be taking part in the mentoring sessions with Janos Wilder.
