  • I went to Three Square last night for the Roasting Las Vegas fund raising event. The title of the program was "Roasting Las Vegas: The Critics can DISH it out, but can they take it?" As it turns out, they can and it was a lot of fun! When I arrived at Three Square, my first time there, I was taken back by the huge size of the buildings where canned food is stored for distribution, other food is prepared for delivery to kitchens for serving those in need, and all the other space needed for helping to feed the hungry in Las Vegas. The numbers are staggering but the one that hit me the most was that they serve one in four children in Las Vegas. That's a staggering number of kids who depend on Three Square to augment or provide their food needs. The three reviewers being roasted were Max Jacobson, Al Mancini, and John Curtas. Their reviews appear in the local free papers and they are known to the foodie community in Las Vegas. This was a chance for the chefs to fight back, so to speak, and roast these critics for what they've said in their past reviews. Chefs there to roast were Todd Harrington (executive chef of Central by Michel Richard in Caesars), Stephen Hopcraft (executive chef of STK in the Cosmopolitan and former Top Chef contestant), Gary LaMorte (corporate chef for the Michael Mina Group), Vic Vegas (executive chef of Vic's Restaurant in Henderson and former Next Food Network Star contestant), Carla Pellegrino (executive chef of Bratalian Neapolitan Cantina in Town Square and former Top Chef contestant), and Beni Valasquez (exceutive chef at the Bar + Bistro in the Arts District). Also roasting was Theresa Woo of the family that owns Fu in the Hard Rock Hotel). It was a fun evening with a lot of laughs, some good food, and good beer and wine or so my table mates told me. I managed to get a table near the front and next to the three tables where the chefs and their friends sat. What a great way to help Three Square and get to see and hear the chefs we know and the critics we read. Now it's time for me to volunteer some time at Three Square and help out with their amazing work on behalf of the people in need in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. Next up for fundraising is Dish 2013 on September 26th at the Palms Hotel and Casino. Join me there!
