For one night only, Citizen Public House is setting out to prove you can't have too many cooks in the kitchen -- or bartenders behind the bar, for that matter.
At 6:30 p.m., Monday, July 22, the notable Scottsdale restaurant is throwing a multi-chef/multi-mixologist cocktail dinner -- a six-course event featuring the food and drink creations of a dozen notable Valley chefs and bartenders.
Here's what's on the menu, and who's behind each course.
