Maroon under construction at Sahara marks first Black chef led Las Vegas Strip restaurant

Описание: Chef Kwame Onwuachi is preparing to bring his Afro-Caribbean cooking to the Las Vegas Strip, with a new restaurant now under construction inside Sahara Las Vegas.

“It’s always been a dream of mine when I started cooking to have a restaurant in Vegas,” Onwuachi said.

The restaurant, Maroon, is set to mark a milestone as the first restaurant led by a Black chef on the Las Vegas Strip. Onwuachi said he is focused on the work ahead, not the title.

“I don’t like to get lost in the sauce, in that you know. I have a mission to open a restaurant, and history aside, it’s like being the first is cool, but I think making sure you’re not the last is even better,” he said.
