Bradley Ogden, chef at his self-named restaurant at Caesars Palace, has won numerous awards, including “Best California Chef” and “Best New Restaurant of the Year” from the James Beard Foundation. Ogden spoke with VEGAS INC about how he markets his restaurant on the Vegas Strip.
What’s different about having a restaurant at Caesars Palace?
You have 5,000 hotel rooms in house and a theater across the way. That’s pretty incredible. You also have the top 100 restaurants in the country within a one-to-two-mile radius.
Describe the Bradley Ogden brand.
Sustainable, farm-to-table. Those words are sort of thrown around these days, but that’s how I’ve been cooking since I was 25.
What’s the quintessential Las Vegas meal?
I don’t know if there is one. There are so many different walks of life who come to Las Vegas.
Do you consider yourself a businessperson?
Yes; you have to be these days. But my creative element, food, is really what I do. How often are you in the kitchen?
I spend more time back there now than I have in a long time. I’m there 70 percent of the time.
