Ricardo Zarate Once godfather peruvian nikkei profile - Eater Vegas
"Los Angeles-based chef Ricardo Zarate tests the Las Vegas palate with his first restaurant, Once, pronounced on-seh, which means 11 in Spanish, a Peruvian Nikkei experience that melds methods from Japanese and Peruvian cooking. The pop-up restaurant only signed a yearlong lease at the Grand Canal Shoppes inside the former Table 10 space vacated by Emeril Lagasse on New Year’s Eve. Zarate spent a mere two months preparing the restaurant to debut on March 11, a swift changeover by Las Vegas standards." - Susan Stapleton
