The Last Friday culinary competition will take place on Friday, Oct. 25, and I will be one of the judges along with Mahe Parodi from the V&E Restaurant Group! There will also be street-side entertainment, food vendors, retail pop-ups, live music and more from 6-10 p.m. The two competitors set to go head-to-head are Joey Valdez, Sous Chef, Mercato Della Pescheria located at The Venetian Resort versus Celebrity Chef to the stars, Robert “Chef Stew” Stewart. The chefs will be provided proteins furnished by Mikuni Harvest. They will have less than 45 minutes to create two dishes.
Sponsors include The City of Henderson, the Las Vegas Weekly, Findlay Volkswagen of Las Vegas, Lotus Family Broadcasting and Fiesta Casino. There is no general admission to the Last Friday, JAWS and is free to the public. The community festival begins at 6 p.m., and the live chef challenge kicks off at 7 p.m. Last Friday was founded to resurrect and celebrate the community’s emerging arts footprint.
The Last Friday, Just Add Water Street event will take place in the Water Street District at the Henderson Events Plaza, 200 S. Water Street. See you there!
