Zio Peppe welcomes Guest Chef Obadiah “Obie” Hindman, Executive Chef of Tucson’s historic Mountain Oyster Club, for French Kiss—a one-night, five-course dinner exploring French food and w**e through Obie’s distinctive culinary perspective.
A fixture in Tucson kitchens for more than 35 years, Obie’s career has included Café Magritte, McMahon’s Prime Steakhouse, and the legendary Tack Room, where he became Executive Chef at just 28 years old. For the past 23 years, he has led the kitchen at the Mountain Oyster Club, developing a style that often brings together classic French technique with the ingredients and culinary traditions of the Sonoran Desert.
Obie is also a co-founder of the Gastronomic Union of Tucson and a Chef Ambassador for Tucson City of Gastronomy, helping share Southern Arizona’s food heritage with UNESCO Cities of Gastronomy around the world.
For French Kiss, Obie and the Zio Peppe team have created five courses paired with w**es from Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, Burgundy, and Bordeaux.
