VIDEO: Fresh Hawaiian Fish Menu at Wynn Las Vegas’ Lakeside Grill
I’ve always loved the freshness and variety of Hawaiian fish–but it’s hard to find either on the mainland. So my ears were definitely pricked by the announcement that Wynn Las Vegas’ Lakeside Grill would be offering a rotating selection of fresh Hawaiian fish flown in daily. This month, Chef David Walzog and Chef Rene Lenger [...]
What Happens When Giada DeLaurentiis and Bobby Flay Cook Together?
If you’ve ever wondered whether Celebrity Chefs hang out together off-screen and outside their restaurants, the answer, surprisingly enough, is Yes, they do.

Wing Lei at the Wynn Resort has been one of the more noticed [...]
A Tasty Tease: Las Vegas Epicurean Affair 2013
Local Las Vegas food crits seem to love poking fingers at Bon Appetit’s Vegas Uncork’d, the biggest annual culinary event on the Vegas Strip. And yet somehow, they grow mute about the many other (albeit smaller) food fests in Vegas—perhaps because most are charity-related (and a good cause is a good cause), or because they [...]
A Savory Supper with François Payard
ORIGINALLY POSTED 2010 I’ve been a fan of François Payard’s Patisserie and Bistro since the day the acclaimed French pattissier and chef came to town three years ago.

“People have been asking what the name Mizumi means,” Steve Wynn told the assembled crowd of VIPs, media and eye candy at the Wynn Resort’s new Japanese concept restaurant last night (June 7). “It doesn’t mean anything, we made it up. I wanted to just leave the old sign up and call it NOkada,” he [...]
