We had a blast this past weekend at Phoenix Cooks! Thank you to the team at Clear Channel for all their hard work, we are confident a lot of money was raised to benefit Phoenix Children's Hospital!

We got into the action with a fun Arizona Restaurant Week Bingo game, and we had a chance to reward 4 lucky winners with gift certificates to some local hot dining spots.

The rules were pretty simple: The 1st, 25th, 50th and 100th person to return a completed bingo card to the Arizona Restaurant Association booth after visiting participating restaurants and receiving bingo stickers that cover one row horizontally will receive a $50 gift certificate to an official Arizona Restaurant Week restaurant.

Playing bingo with us were the following Arizona Restaurant Week restaurants:

SOL Mexican Cocina
Province – Westin Phoenix Downtown
NoRTH – Kierland
District American Kitchen
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Sassi
Different Pointe of View
Roka Akor
PURE Sushi Bar
Sushi Roku – W Scottsdale
deseo--Westin Kierland Resort and Spa

We thank them for their participation! We know each of these restaurants had huge lines thanks to the overwhelming response to our fun little bingo idea. Rumor has it SOL Mexican Cocina was a crowd favorite among the bingo players.

Congrats to Kelly Browning, Vatloy M., Rob Ewles and Donna Durham for turning in the winning cards!

Way to go Kelly Browning!

Surprise to everyone who played--all completed cards have been entered into a a drawing for more gift cards and aprons! The winners will be announced in this Thursday's Arizona Restaurant Week eblast newsletter and will be contacted by email with instructions on how to claim their prizes.

Rock it out Vatoy M. !
