We are excited that this event will be in the St. Francis. It will give
us an opportunity to experience Chef Aaron Chamberlin’s restaurant while
we network.
A little history on the restaurant is shown below:

St. Francis
A celebration of sustenance may best describe Chef Aaron Chamberlin’s
restaurant, St. Francis. Located in a historic building on Camelback
Road, just east of Central in uptown Phoenix, the family-owned,
family-built and family-run restaurant welcomes patrons to a
neighborhood gathering place. The repurposed space was transformed with a
comfortably modern and rustic sensibility that echoes the honest,
spontaneous “wood fired cuisine. St. Francis is for everyday nourishment
for families, couples and even for special occasions. It’s for
connecting with the community and sharing the simple pleasure of simple,
honest and good food. The name “St. Francis” was derived from the
neighborhood land deed that dates back to 1936. It was originally owned
by the Brophy family. In addition, the name “St Francis” is Spanish for
San Francisco, a city that figured largely in Chef Chamberlin’s
background.
