Fine Dining

Item Description

The winner will receive a three-course chef's tasting dinner for two (2) with wine pairings at the Desert Companion's Off-strip Restaurant of the Year, The Black Sheep Las Vegas.

From Desert Companion's 2017 Restaurant Awards issue:

The swagger and self-assurance of Chef Jamie Tran’s new restaurant is just what the dining scene needs

As a restaurant name, “Black Sheep” reflects Tran’s rebel status in a male-dominated industry, but it’s much more than a clever brand. There’s fun swagger and self-assurance in the menu, the wait staff — even the location. In the culinary desert of the southwest Las Vegas — where the IKEA café is a dining destination, where eateries have to throw a cheeseburger on the menu to soothe cranky suburbanites wielding Yelp accounts like switchblades — Black Sheep is a playful dare. In the process, it’s drawn in every serious food-lover in town and become a chefs’ hangout. The menu has a comfort-food heart with elegant fine-dining touches. The braised Duroc pork belly, done in a sweet and savory sauce of Hood River cherries and seasonal mushrooms, is as rib-sticking as Grandma’s pot roast, but the flavor is complex, inflected with the flavors of Hoisin sauce. The fried beef crisps (think a large chicharron), with a spicy Japanese togarashi dust and a drizzle of a thin chili-lime sauce, is a perfect handshake between Tran’s fine-dining past (she spent five years at Aureole) and her current embrace of casual comfort food. There’s even a great happy hour, with cheap cocktails and $1 oysters. By refusing to play by the unspoken rules of neighborhood restaurants, the Black Sheep is doing everything right.
