The Chef Artist Series is a UNLV Harrah Hotel College event that gives students the opportunity to learn culinary and hospitality techniques from professional chefs as they work together to create a gourmet dinner adapted from the guest chef's restaurant.
Students will work with Executive Chef Sean Griffin from Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio. Students will help prepare a four-course dinner for more than 100 guests at a reception of hors d'oeuvres, wine and entertainment.
The event also raises money to fund student scholarships and helps to pay for the training and professional development of food and beverage professors.
