Ring in 2026 with Chef LT Smith, the '25 James Beard Semifinalist (Emerging Chef) and '24 Food and Wine Best New Chef who creates unapologetic experimental Mexican cuisine! Chef LT will serve up a stunning multi-course dinner highlighting favorites of his off-the-cuff new wave Mexican dishes with curated, paired cocktails. His restaurant Chilte, the electric “new-wave” Mexican-inspired hotspot tucked inside Phoenix’s retro Egyptian Motor Hotel, presents a boundary-blurring menu with influences of Latin roots, childhood soul food, globe-trotting adventures. This is a very rare opportunity to experience Chef LT's cuisine outside of Phoenix, celebrate New Year's Eve and support Ah Haa School for the Arts.
