Two
acclaimed chefs, two distinctive locations and one common objective: fighting
hunger in Las Vegas. As part of the ninth annual Restaurant Week, Mary Sue
Milliken and Susan Feniger will for the first time have the opportunity to
double their commitment to Restaurant Week by including both of their Las Vegas
locations - Border Grill Mandalay Bay and Border Grill inside The Forum Shops
at Caesars.
“Supporting
the community has been part of our DNA since we began, and we are excited to
participate in Restaurant Week once again,” explains Susan Feniger. “The great thing about this year is that for
the first time we are able to do it from one end of the Strip to the
other. We decided to create two
different menus at the two restaurants with the hope people support this great
cause twice.”
The
special prix fixe menus offered will go to support Three Square Food Bank, and
both restaurants will be donating a portion of each prix fixe meal served from
June 15 – 26 to support Southern Nevada’s only food bank. Guests are invited to
experience the bold and authentic cuisine at great prices while helping end
hunger in Las Vegas. “It’s the perfect opportunity to discover and taste what
we do here in Las Vegas while also making a big difference in people’s lives,”
adds Milliken.
