One year after hosting a pop-up inside a Los Angeles hotel, Netflix is delving back into the restaurant business. This time, Netflix Bites will set up shop on the Las Vegas Strip for one year, serving dishes inspired by the streamer’s shows.
The one-year residency at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino will open on February 20 with breakfast, lunch, and dinner inspired by Stranger Things, Bridgerton, Squid Game, One Piece, La Casa de Papel, Love is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, Floor Is Lava, Nailed It!, and Chef’s Table and Dinner Time Live with David Chang.
For Stranger Things fans, there are Eleven’s Feast crispy chicken and waffle sliders. Bridgerton fans can order the three-tiered Regency Tea with finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries. A sangria cocktail with gold-dusted mint leaves will come served in a lockbox fit for the Money Heist crew. And Too Hot to Handle gets an homage with a super spicy bloody Mary. Reservations can be made online.
Suzuya’s Eight-Month-Old Cafe Closes
In May 2024, popular Japanese-style pastry shop Suzuya Patisserie opened a second location of its southwest shop in Chinatown. The Spring Mountain Road location opened with joyfully chewy mochi beignets and warm curry egg salad sandwiches. In early January, Suzuya closed the cafe and neighboring sandwich shop Gyu Plus took over the space — preserving most of the menu but renaming the restaurant Moignet A Social Cafe. Those warm mochi beignets with chocolate and strawberry sauces are still on the menu, as are strawberry cream sandwiches and soft macaron cookies.
It’s Bo Time
Southern-style fried chicken fast-food restaurant Bojangles opened its first Nevada restaurant on Monday, January 20. The North Carolina-based restaurant stands at 9210 South Rainbow Boulevard near Blue Diamond Road in southwest Las Vegas. It’s the first of 20 Bonjangles planning to open in Southern Nevada between now and 2027. It opens daily at 5 a.m. with all-day breakfast sandwiches on biscuits, and from 10:30 a.m. on, visitors can order chicken sandwiches, fried chicken meals, and sides of macaroni and cheese and sweet potato pie for dessert.
The Culinary Union and Virgin Hotels Come to an Agreement
Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and the Culinary Workers Union have come to an agreement on their ongoing contract negotiations and announced that they are prepared to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement. A spokesperson for the Culinary Union issued a joint statement announcing that both parties are committed to resolving the dispute — one that resulted in workers at the off-Strip casino walking off the job following a contentious fight for a new contract.
