Looking for something to put in your mouth this weekend? We've got you covered. Check out what's on our plate.

Haute Chocolate Market & Festival at the Heard Museum

The good people at the Heard Museum understand that there's no such thing as too much chocolate; which is why they'll be kicking off their upcoming exhibit, Chocolate, Chili and Cochineal: Changing Taste Around the World with, what else, a chocolate festival. Happening this Friday from 5:30 to 8 p.m., the Haute Chocolate Market & Festival will feature local chocolatiers, chocolate wine, live entertainment and more. Tickets are $30 online and $35 at the door. For more information or to purchase tickets in advance, visit the Heard Museum online.

Brunch and Bus Package at Central Bistro

Sunday marks the final day the of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and since it's never a good idea to drink watch golf on an empty stomach, Central Bistro in Phoenix is offering a Brunch and Bus package.
