The 6th Vegas Unstripped with Eric Gladstone and Chef & Restaurateur James Trees Part 1

“Vegas Unstripped producers Eric Gladstone & Chef & Restaurateur James Trees have finalized the list of chefs and bartenders participating in this year’s Vegas Unstripped food festival. As always, the festival will gather many of Las Vegas’ most acclaimed and creative culinary leaders, who will each create a new dish or drink for one night only, taking place from 6-9 p.m. on Sunday, April 27 at the Palms Casino Resort.” A sampling of the culinary talent on display includes Pizzaiolo John Arena of Metro Pizza, Brian Howard of Sparrow & Wolf, Bruce Kalman of SoulBelly BBQ, Gina Marinelli of La Strega and James Trees of the just debuted Bar Boheme. Prominent Vegas Bartenders mixing it up include Tony Abou-Ganim (The Modern Mixologist) and Adam Rains of The Golden Tiki.“The Las Vegas food & cocktail scene is so vibrant that every year of Vegas Unstripped becomes a new adventure,” said Gladstone. “We’re excited to have a fantastic mix of Vegas favorites returning alongside a lot of new faces, and some veterans we have wanted to include for years. This is going to be an unforgettable night!”“Vegas Unstripped is Las Vegas’ only festival by chefs, about chefs, and for the Vegas community. Participating chefs represent the cutting edge of independent talent in Las Vegas, and are challenged to create unique dishes for the night reflecting their culinary passions. The evening is augmented by beverages from Las Vegas’ best local bars, local musicians, local art and more. Created in 2018 as a reaction to the Strip-focused Vegas Uncork’d event (now defunct), Vegas Unstripped initially only invited chefs working off-Strip but now welcomes Vegas chefs regardless of where they cook, offering open submissions. All necessary expenses of the independent chef/restaurateur are covered by event revenue to the extent possible, with net proceeds going to underserved local charities. To date, Vegas Unstripped has donated nearly $30,000.”Vegas Unstripped creators Eric Gladstone and Celebrity Chef James Trees join us for the tempting preview.
