Michael Jordan
Rosemary's Restaurant
Las Vegas NV
http://www.rosemarysrestaurant.com
“…a shining example of new chef-owned ventures, the best I’ve tasted this year…maybe even perfect” is how Lenadams Dorris described Rosemary’s Restaurant in the Las Vegas Weekly in August 1999, the year the restaurant opened and the year it was featured on Taste of Vegas as the new top-rated neighborhood restaurant.
And it was no big surprise.
Wendy Jordan and Michael Jordan are both extraordinary chefs; teamed in their restaurant, they are unstoppable. Both came through celebrated kitchens in New Orleans, a city known for its outstanding chefs and restaurants. Wendy worked under celebrated chef Susan Spicer, a James Beard honoree, and participated in a special dinner at The James Beard House in New York when she was Susan Spicer’s assistant. She also worked with the late John Neal in his restaurant Peristyle in New Orleans, and took over in the kitchen when he passed away. Michael Jordan was first featured on Great Chefs when he worked at Emeril Lagasse’s NOLA restaurant in the New Orleans French Quarter, then served as Executive Chef of Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
With the Jordans combining their illustrious kitchen pedigrees for their own restaurant, the result is like fine cooking: even more than the ingredients would suggest. In 2007 Michael was named restaurateur of the year in Las Vegas; Rosemary’s was named gourmet restaurant of the year in the city.
