Vegas Seven Silver State Awards Honor Local Restaurants, 

ChefsBy Max Jacobson

A truly magical evening is how I would caption this great event at The Venetian. Three WORLD famous chefs were honored, along with dozens of other chefs, owners and

managers of the finest in the state. Our industry can't get too many accolades considering how hard a business it is, and the kudos were flowing freely that night for sure.

The star of the evening was Chef Kerry Simon, not only because of his fabulous professional accomplishments but also the courageous battle he is waging with a devastating illness. The love for this man was heartfelt by everyone in the room, and he was most gracious in returning the love to his supporting staff.

The Visionary Award was the most prestigious of the night.

Chef Emeril Lagasse was most gracious and humble in receiving the Leadership Award. We've seen him do so much in our community, including many donations to the Andre Agassi fundraisers.The Pioneer Award went to Sirio Maccioni, icon of industry and founder of the fabulous Le Cirque chain. MC Robin Leach recalled the time he dined at Le Cirque NYC, joining 3 former U. S. Presidents who were dining at the same time, and the time the Pope ordered take-out from the restaurant.

The Industry Champion Award went to Alex Stokes, Wynn's Food Safety Director for many years, for leading industry efforts to make Las Vegas a SAFE place to eat.

Lots of pictures, lots of love, shared bythe honorees and attendees. And the benefactor of the evening was the Nevada Restaurant Association's Education Foundation. Great job by TMG Entertainment and Venetian VP of F&B Sebastien Silvestri for a fabulous presentation. The food and drink were first class. Don't miss this fabulous celebration of excellence next year, and take advantage of the excellent values in the silent auction that accompanies the event.

I can reveal that congratulations are due to New York restaurateur Sirio Maccioni, who has restaurants here at Bellagio and Aria, and star chef Kerry Simon when they are honored with Silver State Awards by the Nevada Restaurant Association on Dec. 13 at the Venetian.

Sirio, the founder of the legendary Le Cirque, will fly in from Manhattan to receive the Pioneer Award . Kerry gets a special tip of my heart and hat for his courage to receive the Visionary Award. A special presentation also will be made to celebrity TV chef Emeril Lagasse. All have been good friends for more than a quarter century.

I will join Dayna Roselli and Nina Radetich as hosts of the awards to honor “excellence and superior achievements.” More than 13,000 votes were cast to the Nevada Restaurant Association, and its Educational Foundation will be the beneficiary. Emeril and I will lead the hotel’s Culinary Clash contest later that weekend.
