YELLOWTAIL SUSI & BAR

 

 

The Light Group’s latest restaurant venture Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant & Bar opened its doors to the public with much fanfare on Friday evening with a traditional Japanese Sake Barrel Ceremony known as a “Kagami-Baraki.”  The ceremony, which usually takes place at celebratory events for good luck, takes place when the lid (or the Kagami) is broken open by a wooden mallet and the sake is served to everyone present.  The Light Group CEO Andy Masi, Bellagio President and COO Randy Morton and Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant & Bar executive chef Akira Back, along with restaurant management Oliver Wharton and Shane Monaco donned traditional Japanese garb and broke open (biraki) the barrel and the sake was quickly passed to every patron in the room where a toast to harmony and good fortune was made. Also, dining at the restaurant on Friday evening, NBA legend Patrick Ewing, along with his wife and son, sampled on Chef Back’s delectable cuisine including the rock shrimp, jidori chicken, the spicy crab and vegetable tempura while sipping on Pellegrino water.

 

IT'S YOUR DREAM MEAL!

 

 

The new Dream Dinners store will open August 8th! If you are not familiar with the idea, Dream Dinners is an innovative concept in meal preparation that eliminates the drudgery of daily menu planning, shopping, prep-work and cleanup by moving the dinner assembly process out of people’s kitchens and into specially equipped retail outlets. From 5:30-7:30pm. that day,, Dream Dinners invites members of the community to stop by and see what this innovative and exciting idea is all about.  Franchise owners Bob Parker and Liza Gamber are actively involved in supporting the neighborhood and have provided a fun atmosphere that encourages conversation and camaraderie, so you feel like you’re cooking from your own home. Guests attending the grand opening can look forward to a night of free food and prizes – bring a donation of socks or other items for Safe Nest and get a ticket to spin the prize wheel! Book your session the night of the Grand Opening (or online prior to the Grand Opening) and Dream Dinners will donate a free meal to the women and children of Safe Nest. You can find further information on Dream Dinners—a retail location where working mothers and fathers, singles, newlyweds, and seniors can gather to assemble 12 healthy, homemade dinners that can be popped out of the freezer, thawed and into the oven for a home-cooked meal without all the hassle of prep work, grocery shopping and clean-up. Should you have any questions on this new franchise or are interested in attending the opening event, do not hesitate to contact me. There is plenty of additional information including images and you can also be put in touch with the founding members of Dream Dinners or the Las Vegas franchise owners.  For information, call (516) 437-1810 or tefanie@rtcpublicity.com.
