The Arizona Restaurant Association is launching Arizona Chef’s Week, a 10-day culinary experience to help promote local restaurants during the typically slow summer season.

Arizona Chef’s Week 2025 takes place at participating Valley restaurants Aug. 1-10.

“Summertime in the Valley serves as a particularly challenging period for many restaurants, and therefore, it is more vital than ever to go out and support these establishments,” said Arizona Restaurant Association President and CEO Steve Chucri in a press release. “This event is truly about local residents supporting local restaurants while experiencing an incredible meal. ”

The format follows the annual Arizona Restaurant Week, where diners can experience three-course prix fixe menus priced at $55 or $66 per person. Arizona Chef’s Week encourages chefs to offer items available only during Chef’s Week.
