The series launches on Friday, June 13 with the dynamic Chef Antonia Lofaso—TV personality, restaurateur, and a powerhouse in the kitchen. Together, Chef Mina and Chef Lofaso will create a custom multi-course menu that blends their signature styles, showcasing bold creativity, refined technique, and a shared love for vibrant, flavorful cuisine.
“Chef Antonia is an absolute force in and out of the kitchen,” says Mina. “From winning, hosting or judging competitive TV cooking shows, to running a successful restaurant company and being a cookbook author and mother, there is nothing she can’t do. I’m honored to collaborate with her and look forward to the fun we’ll have in creating an incredible epicurean adventure for Bellagio guests.”
Chef Lofaso adds, “I am thrilled to be the first chef to kick off this series and look forward to cooking alongside Chef Mina and his team for what is sure to be a memorable evening. Creative menu items, unique presentations, and first-class hospitality will set the tone for a truly fun and flavorful guest experience.”
The Guest List promises a front-row seat to culinary brilliance, offering guests a rare opportunity to dine on innovative dishes crafted by two of the industry’s most celebrated chefs. Future collaborators in the series will be announced soon.
