MGM National Harbor Announces Gourmet Culinary Program

Dec 10, 2015
Daily

MGM National Harbor is scheduled to open in the latter half of 2016 near Washington, D.C. The 308-room resort and casino recently announced its efforts to create a culinary destination within the resort, partnering with well-known names to deliver dining experiences unlike any other.

“In recent years, the Capital Region has become a thriving food destination with many of the best chefs in the world contributing to our booming restaurant scene,” said Bill Boasberg, general manager, MGM National Harbor. “We have selected incredible talent to create an unparalleled dining experience at our resort and we are excited to welcome these new concepts and chefs into our company’s award-winning culinary portfolio.”

Chef José Andrés will be spearheading a seafood-inspired restaurant with views of the Potomac, that will include sushi and tempura bars set among dramatic décor. Andrés has been celebrated as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People and has been the recipient of several awards from the James Beard Foundation, Bon Appétit and Condé Nast Traveler, among others.

Chef Marcus Samuelsson, another huge name in the restaurant business, will be bringing his five-time James Beard Award-winning talents to the resort with classic and coastal dishes at a restaurant offering two bars and an open concept. His multiple successful restaurants, bestselling books and appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef Masters has made Samuelsson an easy-to-recognize face in the culinary world.

The last additions to MGM National Harbor’s lineup are brothers Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, opening their first restaurant together in their home state of Maryland — a contemporary steakhouse. The menu will feature lots of regional flavors and nostalgic inspiration. The two brothers are known for their appearances on Top Chef, , the Cooking Channel, Food Network and Travel Channel.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
