Arizona Homegrown Experience
Two chefs, one goal in mind. Arizona Homegrown Experience was created by chef wife duo Marissa & Kellie Delgado. What began as a pop up dinner concept, transformed into an incredible charitable dinner series and has now evolved into the Experience! From restaurants to resorts, and intimate dining to high end catering; our chefs have come together to create a private dining experience unlike any other in the valley.
