The fun continues with a VIP Private reception starting at 3:00pm to help kick off the 14th Annual Iron Chef Competition.   This VIP reception will offer those who really love to cook a “belly up” to meet and mingle as the Chefs prepare for the big “Iron Chef Competition” that starts at 5pm in the Grand Ballroom.    The winner of the Iron Chef “two chef” cook off will be crowned the 2022 Iron Chef winner!

On Saturday, July 30th, 2022 Arizona Lotus will host the 14th Annual Iron Chef Tucson and Culinary Experience at Casino del Sol.

Just like the TV Show, we will:

  • Have two local chefs face off in a serious culinary battle and unveil a surprise secret ingredient
  • Have commentators give play-by-play of what the finalists are doing
  • Have a guest panel of (3) judges sample the end results and score based on flavor, presentation, creativity, and use of the secret ingredient

All Iron Chef Tucson Events are exclusively 21 years and older to attend.
