Project
Dinner Table is the popular local dining phenomenon blending a philanthropic
approach and appreciation for the farm to table movement, while focusing on
what we love: food, community and purpose. A series of once-in-a-lifetime,
dinners served around one long, white-linen-draped table set in unique and
adventurous settings, Project Dinner Table celebrates phenomenal chefs, local
growers and sustainable sources. Furthermore, each gathering brings diverse
individuals together to share a meal served family-style, all while
rediscovering the lost art of conversation. Guests at every event may expect to
find themselves breaking bread with community leaders, local growers, food
artisans, restaurateurs and other spirited guests. Project Dinner Table has
partnered with United Way of Southern Nevada, ultimately leaving a legacy for
the community, powered by community.
DT3
is located on 3rd Street, between Stewart Avenue and Ogden Road. With the
excitement and energy of the Fremont Street Experience just steps away, Project
Dinner Table will enable guests to truly experience all that Downtown Las Vegas
has to offer by experiencing its unique blend of community in one night. The
signature dinner table seating 175 will run along one block of 3rd Street.
Leading
the culinary experience will be Executive Chef Charles Wilson of Downtown
Grand. Chef Wilson has nearly 20 years of experience leading teams around the
country and the world. He studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, Texas. From
there, his career began as a sous chef at the Four Seasons Chicago and then
Four Seasons Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu. He would spend the next few years
working his way to becoming an executive chef at Pacific Islands Resort LTD
Japan. Chef Wilson arrived in Las Vegas in 2004, landing a position as an
executive chef for banquets at MGM Grand. By 2007, he joined Caesars Palace
where he consistently earned high praise from his teams for his excellent
leadership both in front and back of the house. During his years at that
property, Caesars Palace would go on to winning the AAA Four Diamond Award and
having numerous restaurants win the world’s most prestigious accolades ranging
from Bradley Ogden and Restaurant Guy Savoy also winning AAA Four Diamond Award
to restaurants and dining experiences being named “Most Popular Restaurants” by
Zagat.
Working
side by side with Chef Wilson will be Assistant Executive Chef Todd Harrington.
His eagerness to learn, proven prowess at team leadership and dynamic flair for
contemporary, palate-pleasing fare are what led him to the property, where he
currently created menus for all dining experiences inside the hotel. Chef
Harrington studied at the Reading Area Community College Culinary Arts program
in Reading, Pa. Then, he attended the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in
Pittsburgh while working as an assistant chef at Chef Alan’s American Bistro.
Drawn by Las Vegas’ exciting and expanding restaurant scene, Harrington
relocated to the Entertainment Capital of the World in 2005. He has worked in
some of Las Vegas’ finest kitchens including Central Michel Richard at Caesars
Palace, which he opened and served as executive chef for two years.
