Michelin-starred chef's inventive tasting menus with playful contrasts
"Major food lovers are packing this room for Jeremy Ford’s personality‑driven tasting menus—precise, exuberant plates like winter truffle ricotta gnudi and spice barramundi with shiitake sofrito, butter‑poached bay leek, and galangal curry—plus luxe add‑ons like a Kaluga caviar macaron, wagyu beef tartare cannelloni, and a Hudson Valley foie gras and black truffle tart. I’d come just for cocktails and snacks from the à la carte list too, especially charred jerk carrots with spiced yogurt, crunchy truffle bravas, and cacio e pepe cheesy puffs; unique to Vegas at the bar‑lounge and patio is the Guilty Pleasure Burger, a double onion smash stack with smoked beef bacon." - Andrea Bennett
"This Miami transplant pushed lengthy, produce-aisle-showcasing tasting menus when it first opened at Resorts World, but now it has a substantial a la carte menu, too. That makes it a great choice for time-pressed tourists looking for an upscale pre-show meal, or travelers on an expense account—think uni panna cotta, or the messy JJ’s Guilty Pleasure Burger, a double wagyu onion smashburger that is exclusive to Vegas—are no-brainers. Enjoy them both at the U-shaped bar, underneath the mesmerizing slotted glass chandelier in the Art Deco-style space. And if you have the time to spare, those tasting menus are definitely worth it." - emmy kasten
"Jeremy Ford’s Michelin-starred Florida restaurant Stubborn Seed has made its long-awaited debut in Las Vegas as Resorts World. The tasting menu restaurant offers an ever-changing menu that promises a “vegetable-forward meal,” alongside thoughtfully executed proteins like clams or duck. The meal opens with olive ciabatta, followed by dishes like uni panna cotta, winter truffle ricotta gnudi, and an Australian wagyu striploin paired with crispy miso cabbage. A delicate winter citrus pavlova concludes the meal, topped with yuzu pastry cream and caramelized pistachios. While the main tasting menu is priced at $135 per person, an “elevated” menu option priced at $175 adds in courses of caviar, foie gras, and wagyu. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Janna Karel
