Project Dinner Table Event this Saturday at Town Square

Project Dinner Table returns this Saturday with a county fair-themed event created by Executive Chef Edmund Wong of Bellagio Resort & Casino and Executive Chef Royden Ellamar of Sensi at Bellagio. The first in Project Dinner Table’s series of fall dinners will pay homage to the end of summer with a six-course meal and cocktail pairing.

Chef Wong and Chef Ellamar will combine their culinary expertise to create a menu that puts an upscale spin on everyone’s favorite fair foods. Dishes such as Corn Pups, creamed corn fritters with homemade mustard and Sensi ketchup, Raw and Grilled Farmer’s Salad with Gilcrease Cider Dressing, succulent Beer Can Chickens and delightfully gooey Caramel Apples are just some of the dishes designed to put diners in the fall spirit.

North Main Street at Town Square, Las Vegas.

Citrus trees and potted fruit plants provided by Bellagio’s Horticulture department will line the table along with various flavored popcorns and cotton candy. The entire street, which is home to Lucky Jeans and Aldo, will be closed off to traffic for the event creating a true fair-like atmosphere.

This Saturday, Sept. 8. Cocktail pairings begin at 6:30 p.m.

To purchase tickets, go to www.ProjectDinnerTable.com. The price: $175 per person.

           

A total donation of $4,000 will be made supporting both Safe Nest, a charity that promotes the eradication of domestic violence and The Shade Tree, a 24 hour shelter designed specifically to meet the needs of women and children in Southern Nevada.
