uted to and supported us in our first year! First, I want to thank Elizabeth Blau, the founder of restaurant development company Blau + Associates. When restaurants were still closed in the early phase of the pandemic, I saw Elizabeth at her restaurant Honey Salt. She was organizing food for me and other Delivering with Dignity volunteers. I told her about my pending decision to own this magazine and she kindly offered to introduce me to a friend who owns a

similar magazine in Connecticut. After several months securing advertisers to ensure our launch, I asked Elizabeth if she would be a contributor. She offered her family turkey recipe for our premiere issue, and everyone took notice! This month you can enjoy her story about the chefs behind Delivering with Dignity. Next, a huge thank you to Tom Kaplan. Tom is the senior managing partner of Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. All new publishers in our company are encouraged to showcase a hot spot when they launch. I envisioned a story about Player’s Locker. It had been years since I spoke with Tom, but I remembered his generous community spirit, so I reached out to him with the idea. Tom was 100 percent on board and

On a personal note, I’m grateful to Chef Dan for giving my son, Blake, work experience in his restaurant. Ironically Blake was referred to Chef Dan after being mentored by one of Blau + Associates’ former executive chefs, Ben Halley.

I always get emails, calls, and texts when Red Rock Lifestyle hits mailboxes but some of the most memorable messages were from Elizabeth, Tom, and Dan. These “foodies” have helped create top-notch Red Rock Lifestyle content. Moreover, they are the people who have made and maintained Las Vegas as the culinary capital of the world. This community, elevated by the people who live here, is truly special!

Delivering with Dignity THE RESTAURANTS AND CHEFS BEHIND THE ORGANIZATION

ON MARCH 17, 2020, OUR STATEWIDE SHUTDOWN WENT INTO EFFECT, COMPLETELY DISRUPTING THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE: INCLUDING SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, AND FOOD BANKS. Within one week, on March 23, 2020, Delivering with Dignity launched as an emergency response to help those most vulnerable throughout southern Nevada. During those six days, a group of determined and extremely focused community leaders including Clark County Commission Chair Marilyn Kirkpatrick, The Moonridge Group CEO Julie Murray, and Executive Director of the Elaine P. Wynn & Family Foundation Punam Mathur, pieced together this organization that to date has delivered more than 500,000 meals safely to the doorsteps of residents that would otherwise not have access to food during the pandemic. The idea from the start was to create and deliver chef-prepared, dignified, and nutritious meals, thus the name Delivering with Dignity was born. Our restaurant Honey Salt has always been community focused, so my husband Chef Kim Canteenwalla and I knew we would need like-minded partners to adequately source the approximately 6,000 weekly meals needed for Delivering with Dignity Meals

the Delivery with Dignity program to succeed. We quickly identified three other amazing restaurant partners: Marc Marrone, Jeff Weiss, and Tiffany Stiles who are equally CONTINUED >

passionate about community service. Despite being in the middle of the biggest crisis our industry has ever faced, each jumped on board without hesitation and have continually rose to the occasion every single day for the past year and a half. Not only did each restaurant partner start creating and executing high-quality, well-balanced meals, they stepped up wherever needed in our early stages and even became delivery drivers whenever there was a family in need. Along with our partner chefs we devised a functional plan to create daily menus to match the meal numbers identified from our local non-profit partners. GRAFFITI BAO Owned by Chef Marc Marrone, Grafitti Bao is located in southwest Las Vegas and serves fast casual Chinese dining. A Graffiti Bao favorite item: Bao Buns! While Marc operates Delivering with Dignity out of his southwest location, Graffiti Bao can also be enjoyed inside T-Mobile Arena. “We are so honored and happy to have been a part of Delivering with Dignity since the beginning,” said Marrone. “What started out as a beacon of positivity in a time that was clouded with so much sadness and negativity, has turned into one of the core values for our team. Being able to feed our community has not only brought joy, but also has kept so many team members employed during these challenging times and for that we are so thankful. We are looking forward to continuing to work with and serve our community.” VALENCIAN GOLD Chef Jeffrey Weiss closed his Spanish tapas and paella restaurant Valencian Gold for renovation just before the pandemic hit. While his closure lasted a little longer than originally planned due to the shutdown, his empty dining room serendipitously served as the perfect space to start creating meals for Delivering with Dignity.

“We were so honored to stand alongside our restaurant partners Honey Salt, Graffiti Bao, and The Jolt in providing meals to the Las Vegas community throughout the COVID crisis,” said Weiss. “Throughout this time, we have prepared meals ranging from classic beef stew, to chicken pot pie, and all manner of curries and adobos from cuisines around the world—often inviting local and celebrity chefs like Louiie Victa, Monti Carlo of the Food Network, and others into our kitchens to take part in this opportunity to support those in need.” “Valencian Gold has just passed our 70,000th meal sent into the community alongside more than 500,000 meals served by our partners in this incredible program,” continued Weiss. “With thanks to the leadership of Elizabeth Blau, we look forward to continuing onward with this calling to provide hot, chef prepared meals to the most at-risk, and food insecure, members of Las Vegas.” A year later, Valencian Gold has successfully re-opened better than ever with a new menu, a full bar including Spanish cocktails and wines, and a beautiful outdoor patio. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind restaurant and experience to enjoy with friends that I highly recommend. THE JOLT COFFEE CO. Owned by Tiffany Stiles, The JOLT Coffee Co. is unique in its location as an already established community supporter. The JOLT serves a variety of coffee and espresso drinks, sandwiches, salads, and pastries within The Center, a community support center for the LGBTQ+ community of southern Nevada. “Delivering with Dignity provided hope and the opportunity for us to be there for our community when it needed us the most.” said Stiles.

SUBARU OF LAS VEGAS is located in the heart of exciting Las Vegas, Nevada at 6455 Roy Horn Way. As a proud member of the Findlay Automotive Group, we are your premier source for NEW, USED, and CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED (CPO) Subaru vehicles in Southern Nevada. 0% Financing for well-qualified buyers on select 2021 models for up to 48 months.

2020 Needed a Hero, and Our Underdogs Delivered. 2020 was definitely the Year of the Underdog. With the support of more than 500 Subaru retailers and more than 500 partner shelters nationwide, the Subaru Loves Pets Month and the second annual National Make A Dog’s Day celebration helped over 20,000 shelter pets find loving homes – including thousands of very deserving Underdogs with special needs. Findlay’s Subaru of Las Vegas not only partnered with The Animal Foundation in October 2020 to raise over $3,000 and find forever loving homes for over 30 four-legged friends, but they also took

it a step further and started an Annual Halloween Hounds event. This event brought together five animal shelters from across the Valley on the last day of October in an effort to get as many fourlegged friends as possible adopted and into arms of a loving new owner. Employees also participated in a trunk-or-treat decorating contest that invited the community to dress up and take a stroll through the decorated trunks for an early start to a Halloween treat. Sam & Ash was an integral partner to the 2020 Halloween Hounds with their $5,000 contribution that was evenly donated to each animal shelter onsite at the 1st Annual Halloween Hounds event. The 2021 Subaru Loves Pets Month and the Findlay’s


Subaru of Las Vegas 2nd Annual Halloween Hounds Event is right around the corner! This year, Findlay’s Subaru of Las Vegas has partnered with the Nevada SPCA to support finding new forever homes for their shelter pets. There are so many ways to help a shelter pet!

beaten path, Chef ‘Dennis The Prescott’ is a culinary change maker whose feed you’ll want to feast on Originally an aspiring musician, Canadian-born Dennis Prescott’s journey began while in university with a single invitation from another solo musician who asked him to tour with them around the US. This eventually took him to Nashville where they began making records and pursuing their musical dreams. Yet, in the midst of all of this, Dennis was not taking care of himself — eating take out, dollar menus, etc, had become a way of life. A friend had a “come to Jesus” moment with him and stressed that he needed to start taking care of himself. Having no idea exactly what that meant or how to do so, the advice was simple: “You need to start eating better.”

Red Rock Lifestyle | October 2021


The St a r t “Go to the library and borrow some cookbooks,” his friend suggested. Dennis went to a nearby library and borrowed three books only to have his friend ask why he chose those in particular. Dennis remembers saying verbatim, “I don’t know? The guy on the cover looks kinda good looking, and I feel like I could probably pull these recipes off, and he seems really happy too!” As it turned out they were three books by Jamie Oliver; it’s just that he had no idea who Jamie Oliver was at the time. Flash forward and Dennis’ first dinner-hosting experiment was made up of twenty people from the music studio, all sitting in camping chairs with beer koozies and makeshift tables in his apartment. “I remember at the time this moment of, okay, the food is on the table, it’s a stressful thing, and then everybody tucks in and they take their first bite, and there’s a moment of hush that kind of came over everyone; it got really quiet just for a second, and then everyone started talking and getting into it and I fell in love with food right there at that moment. What eventually followed were 13 episodes over nine months where the Restaurants on the Edge team traveled to and filmed restaurant revivals that included three in Canada, one in the continental US, one in Hawaii, and others outside of North America, including Hong Kong, Slovenia, Austria, Malta, St. Lucia and Finland.

“ W hen you get of f t he b e at en pat h a l it t le bit , you le a r n t he d i f fer enc e b et we en v ac at ion a nd t r avel .

T r avel R ecom mend at ion s for Food ies “Slovenia borders Italy and Croatia, which is to say there are a lot of shared values in and around food; they have really great cheese, dairy, beef, pasta, but very few tourists, hardly any. So if you love Italy, that kind of specific travel and food experience, particularly Northern Italy, because you can see the Alps from where they are. It’s picture perfect, a beautiful place, and also where orange wine is from.” Dennis also highly recommends Costa Rica, Hawaii and Finland. “Most people love the idea of travel, but we tend to pick the same places when we travel, and there is nothing wrong with that, they are amazing for a reason, but when you get off the beaten path a little bit, you learn the difference between vacation and travel.” Restaurants on the Edge is important and meaningful to Chef Prescott because it tells stories of hope and joy and redemption around the kitchen. Oftentimes the food space can be very stressful, but he believes that at the end of the day, people just want to spend time with other people that they love. One of the most common fears Dennis hears from people cooking and/or grilling at home is, ‘where do I start? I don’t know how to get going, so I just don’t.’ Rather than overcomplicating it, Dennis recommends cooking the things that bring you joy — things that are on a restaurant menu you can’t NOT order because you’re so pumped that those dishes are on there. “Find the things that you love. Take the stress out of food. Feed people because all they really care about is spending time with you. Bring joy back into the kitchen.”
