Joseph Elevado has been named executive chef of Andrea's, the new restaurant opening Dec. 28, 2012 at Encore at the Wynn Las Vegas. Honing his culinary skills in esteemed kitchens across the country, Chef Elevado brings his mastery of Asian flavors and technical artistry to Andrea's hip "vibe" dining atmosphere integrated into Surrender Nightclub.
"I am creating dishes that will complement Andrea's fun, high-energy and interactive dining experience," said Chef Elevado. "I envision people eating much like I do when I go out with friends, sharing together family style. Dishes like crispy crab and scallop, truffled ponzu rock shrimp tempura, and, of course, Wagyu sliders are perfect to share. My goal is to make everyone's meal at Andrea's as exciting and memorable as their night out at Surrender Nightclub."
Diners may opt for an array of fresh shellfish on ice and enjoy a wide range of dim sum pot stickers, dumplings, rolls, and scallion pancakes that can be paired with salads, noodles, fried rice variations and other tempting side dishes. Elevado's menu features classically prepared steaks, seafood, poultry and vegan options.
Elevado makes his return to Las Vegas after serving as executive chef at L'Ermitage Beverly Hills. Previously, he was at the helm of the kitchen at Social House in Las Vegas. Elevado also enjoyed a nine-year stint at Nobu, first at Nobu NYC under Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and then later as executive chef at Nobu Las Vegas, where he earned a number of accolades, including the Mobil Four-Star Award.
