The family-style dinner will be prepared by James Beard Award-winning chef Bradley Ogden of Hops & Harvest; Sam Marvin, the culinary force behind Tivoli Village’s soon-to-open Echo and Rig Steakhouse and Butcher Shop; and Executive Sous Chef Alicia Stewart of Poppy Den by acclaimed chef and restaurateur Angelo Sosa.

Chef Bradley Ogden came to national attention in his first position at Kansas City’s The American Restaurant after graduating “most likely to succeed” from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. He continued to garner acclaim as executive chef at San Francisco’s Campton Place Hotel before opening his first restaurant, The Lark Creek Inn, in 1989. His signature farm-to-table cuisine has continued to enjoy success in a continually expanding restaurant empire, with openings throughout the Bay Area and including his namesake property in Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace, for which he was awarded Restaurant of the Year in 2004 by the James Beard Foundation and Restaurateur of the Year in 2010 by the Nevada Restaurant Association. He has published “Bradley Ogden’s Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner,” as well as the just-released “Holiday Dinners by Bradley Ogden” from Running Press Book Publishers. In early 2013 he and his son, Chef Bryan Ogden, formed Bradley Ogden Hospitality. Now, he makes a much anticipated return to the Las Vegas culinary scene with Ogden’s Hops & Harvest, which is scheduled to open at Tivoli Village in late May 2013.

Chef Sam Marvin is founder, partner, the former vice president and former executive chef of Los Angeles’ Bottega Restaurant and Gourmet Market. Marvin, along with three others, founded Bottega Louie in 2006, which quickly became the most talked about and successful restaurant concept to debut in L.A. in more than 20 years. At Bottega Louie, Marvin took all of his world-class experience studying and working in some of the best kitchens on the globe—in France, Switzerland, Italy, Morocco and Holland—and infused it with the convenience of contemporary society. This summer, Marvin brings his signature classical training, devotion to the best ingredients and culture of quality to Las Vegas when he opens Echo and Rig Steakhouse and Butcher Shop at Tivoli Village.

Alicia Stewart grew up in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, in South America. She comes from a family of four brothers and two sisters, three of whom are chefs and one who owns a restaurant in Georgetown. Stewart created her first dish at age eight and credits her mother and siblings as her greatest culinary inspirations. She came to New York in 2004 and, in 2005, attended the Art Institute, graduating in 2006 with an Associate’s Degree in the Culinary Arts. Upon graduation, Stewart’s career quickly progressed; she has held positions in New York at Mercer Kitchen under Head Chef Christopher Beischer, Hell’s Kitchen’s Zanzibar and Angelo Sosa’s Xie Xie and Anejo restaurants. She arrived in Las Vegas in January 2013 to serve as executive sous chef of Sosa’s Poppy Den at Tivoli Village.
