Wolfgang Puck is credited with ushering-in the era of the celebrity chef in Las Vegas; and rightly so, as the opening of Spago inside the Forum Shops at Caesars, more than twenty years ago was a proverbial game-changer, and it remains one of the city’s finest eateries, today (read all about the incredible feast I’ve dubbed the “gastrostorme,” later this week).  Now, with fall approaching, the team behind the six restaurants that make-up the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group in Las Vegas, are preparing for the third annual Sip & Savor fundraiser – being held, on Wednesday, September 16th, at Spago.

With proceeds benefiting Keep Memory Alive and its work toward finding cures for Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s. Parkinson’s, ALS, MS, and neurodegenerative disorders, Sip & Savor brings all six of Wolfgang Puck’s Las Vegas dining concepts together, under one very stylish roof.

Equal parts mix-and-mingle and wine-and-dine, guests at Sip & Savor are given the chance to partake of the signature dishes that have made the restaurants of Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group so popular, by bringing all of their respective chefs together, at Spago; and pairing their culinary wizardry with specially selected vintages, from some of Puck’s favorite wineries.

Representing their respective venues, will be the following chefs, who’ve made Las Vegas a far more delicious place to live (and because of whom, my tailor has made a small fortune, letting-out my pants):

• Eric Klein, Executive Chef, Spago @ Forum Shops at Caesars

• Matthew Hurley, Executive Chef, CUT by Wolfgang Puck @ The Palazzo

• Jorge Martinez, Executive Chef, LUPO by Wolfgang Puck @ Mandalay Bay

• Michael Tiva, Executive Chef, CUCINA by Wolfgang Puck @ The Shops at Crystals

• Dustin Lewandowski, Executive Chef, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill @ MGM Grand

• Mark Andelbradt, Executive Chef, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill @ Downtown Summerlin

And for your listening pleasure, I will be DJing a set of musical interludes (a tasteful mélange of rock, pop, world, exotica, lounge, soul, and funk), curated by myself and Chef David Robins; guaranteed to add just the right amount of atmospheric hitch into everyone’s collective giddy-up!

With tickets priced at $175 for general admission (beginning at 6pm), and at $225 for VIP (beginning at 5:30pm), this event always delivers, and is worth putting on your calendars, now.  My mouth’s watering, already!
