Winnie & Ethel’s Downtown Diner, Las Vegas, with Mallory Gott and Chef Aaron Lee Part 1

“In March 2021, Chef Aaron Lee and Mal Gott began their story, which has since grown into the proudly presented Winnie & Ethel’s Downtown Diner in Las Vegas. Inspired by classic American roadside eateries and grandmas’ kitchens, they developed an alluring twist to quintessential Americana that put a welcome place for their downtown Las Vegas neighbors.”“The vision began with a car ride and conversation fueled by Clyde McPhatter’s Come What May and quickly evolved into menu ideas jotted down on junk mail envelopes, creating Pinterest boards full of aspirational interiors, building plans, and an eventual name change to Winnie & Ethel’s Downtown Diner“On December 15, 2021, Mal and Aaron got engaged and entered the Million Dollar Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway, eventually winning the high-profile contest with 90 submissions and 6 Finalists. They originally planned to get married at the diner for their soft opening. But Aaron and Mal couldn’t wait, they decided to tie the knot a few months before opening Winnie & Ethel’s; a place where they could celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, and everyday life together.”“Chef Aaron Lee and CEO Mallory Gott named the restaurant after his grandma Winnie and her great-grandma Ethel whose warm, loving kitchens were always open.”It's Breakfast 7-days with the newly added Dinner service available from Friday through Monday. Mallory takes a break from the breakfast service (think Biscuits & Gravy, Corned Beef Benedict and Carrot Cake Pancakes…) at their busy restaurant in the Huntridge Shopping Center in Downtown Las Vegas to join us.
