A Mr. Ron Burgundy once said, "I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly." And if, like Mr. Burgundy, you're a fan of the stuff, then you might just be thrilled to know that Cafe ZuZu at the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale will be having a scotch-filled chef's table event on May 20.

The evening will start with a reception featuring plump, scotch-scented oysters on the half shell. Afterward guests will enjoy a four-course dinner paired with a selection of scotch whiskeys.

The Menu

Wild Mushroom Tortellini asparagus + carrots with orange and ginger Glenkinchie 12 year

Braised Monk Fish & Lobster Stew spring vegetables + pistou Oban

Pineapple Cobbler vanilla ice cream Dalwhinnie 15 year
