Still time to get tickets!! Project Dinner Table! Chef Mario Batali's Team!








     Momentous Dinner Marks the
    Return of the First Location of Project Dinner Table: The Tranquil, Unique
    Setting of
    University of Nevada
    Cooperative Extension (UNCE) Orchard





    This month’s Project Dinner
    Table is being prepared by Chef Mario Batali’s team from B&B Ristorante,
    Carnevino Italian Steakhouse and OTTO Pizzeria Las Vegas.  They will be delighting diners with cuisine
    that is not only delicious, but also sustainable.  To further enhance this event, Project Dinner
    Table returns to its debut location that launched so many other unique dinners
    and the conversations that follow: the University of Nevada Cooperative
    Extension (UNCE) Orchard.





    The dinner will be held on
    Saturday, June 25 with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres starting at
    6:30 p.m., and dinner set to begin by 7:30 p.m.





    “When we hosted the inaugural
    Project Dinner Table at UNCE, everyone had an incredible time because they felt
    with the orchard setting and delectable menu, no one could believe they were
    still in
    Las Vegas,” says Gina Gavan, founder and self-proclaimed
    spoonbender, Project Dinner Table. 
    “Combine the ambience of the orchard with the cuisine of Chef Batali’s
    team, the dinner will be unforgettable.”





    Mario Batali and Joe
    Bastianich's signature collaborative culinary team will present an unparalleled
    dining experience, as they do in their restaurants every night.  Batali’s protégé since 2000, Chef Zach Allen
    is responsible for creating magic in the kitchen night after night.  As the consulting salumist to all of Batali’s
    restaurants, he educates servers and staff about the complexities of curing
    meat. Now the culinary director of B&B Ristorante, Carnevino Italian
    Steakhouse and OTTO Pizzeria Las Vegas, he executes his vision for Italian
    flavors and techniques in
    Las Vegas
    ever-growing gourmet scene.





    Also at the helm will be Chef
    Doug Taylor, who joined the team in 2007. 
    In addition to running the pastry programs at Carnevino Italian
    Steakhouse, B&B Ristorante and OTTO Pizzeria Las Vegas, he is an instructor
    in the agricultural program at the
    University of Nevada,
    which concentrates on producing sustainable ingredients in the arid desert
    climate.





    Working together with Zach
    and Doug are Chefs Jason Neve and Nicole Brisson. A graduate of The Culinary
    Institute of America, Jason was part of the opening team at Mario’s restaurant,
    Del Posto, in
    New
    York City
    . His
    aptitude in the kitchen and his passion for cured meats led him out west to
    Las Vegas where Jason is now the Chef di Cucina at B&B
    Ristorante.  After attending
    Johnson & Wales
    University, Brisson got to know the food writers Molly O'Neill
    and Faith Willinger who helped her develop a love for local produce and cured
    meats in both the
    United States and Italy.   After
    studying abroad, she went on to open Wynn Las Vegas under Chefs Steven Kalt and
    Paul Bartolotta.  She is now the Chef di
    Cucina at Carnevino Italian Steakhouse.





    Project Dinner Table is the
    wildly popular community dinner series founded by Gina Gavan.  What makes Project Dinner Table so special is
    the delicious sense of community each event brings.  Every dinner is hosted in a unique location,
    unavailable typically to the public for dinner, with each location selected
    based on its ability to host the event’s signature long, white dinner table
    where the meal is served family style. 
    Local chefs work with local growers and purveyors to not only create a
    one-night-only menu, but also to educate Las Vegans on all that is available
    while feasting on an organic dinner. Since Project Dinner Table’s launch in
    April 2010, every dinner has sold out quickly. To top it all off, a portion of
    every dinner’s proceeds benefits a
    Southern Nevada
    charity.  This dinner will benefit the We
    Care, We Share Foundation and Create a Change Now.
