WINNIE & ETHEL’S DOWNTOWN DINER LAUNCHES NEW DINNER MENU AND UPDATED HOURS
Elevated dinner time bites – including Blackened Idaho Rainbow Trout, Catfish and Corn Fritters, and Angus Black Pepper BBQ Meatloaf – have officially joined the comfort food collection
Winnie & Ethel’s, winner of The Great Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway, is excited to announce its all new, and carefully crafted, dinner menu. The classically charming diner – named lovingly in honor of Head Chef and Co-Owner Aaron Lee’s grandmother, and CEO and Co-Owner Mallory Gott’s great-grandmother – brings the warmth and nostalgia of grandma’s cooking to the Las Vegas community with even more options to explore.
“The idea of Winnie and Ethel’s stemmed from a 1940’s ‘round-the-clock diner concept,” says Gott. “Since the original conception, our team figured out what was needed downtown: a comfy, cozy, homey supper club vibe! It’s all the fun without the mess at home. We’re excited to welcome the dinner crowd from 5-9pm Thursday-Monday.”

Now Open at ARIA Resort & Casino
Major Food Group, the luxury hospitality company founded by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick has officially opened the first Parm Famous Italian outside of the East Coast.
Now open at Proper Eats Food Hall inside ARIA Resort & Casino, Parm is welcoming guests daily starting at 11 a.m.

Some of the most popular dishes include, the Chicken Parm Sandwich, slathered in melted cheese between seeded Italian bread, Rotini in spicy vodka sauce, an Italian sandwich with five meats, spicy sauce, and Italian dressing, and homemade meatballs.
Other dishes include: Golden melty mozzarella sticks, pizza knots tossed in garlic butter, a cheese-draped cutlet stuffing a chicken parm sandwich, a house roast beef sandwich with thinly sliced beef, a heap of Rotini Genovese with basil pesto and burrata, and spaghetti and meatballs harnessing imported Neapolitan pasta and of course cannoli made from house dough.

About Parm Famous Italian:
Since the original location of Major Food Group’s Parm opened in New York City’s Little Italy in 2011, the restaurant’s takes on Italian-American soul food have reached iconic status. From the prized Chicken Parm to the homemade meatballs to the Rigatoni Carbone, the menu is inspired by the cooking Michelin-starred chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi ate growing up. The goal is to make the best versions of these recognizable dishes while remaining faithful to their history—and to serve them in a fun, familial environment. Carbone and Torrisi founded Parm with restaurateur Jeff Zalaznick. Together, Major Food Group has created some of the world’s most sought-after restaurants, including Carbone and Sadelle’s. Newsweek named their concept Parm one of the 101 Best Places to Eat in North America. In a rave, the New York Times wrote that the restaurant’s approach to Italian standards is “completely faithful to your memories while being much, much better than you remembered.” More information is available at https://www.majorfood.com/brands/parm, as well as on Instagram at @parm.

The quality of the fish is evident in the delectable handroll sets or the signature cut rolls, such as the Main Lobster, Bay Scallop, Yellowtail, Blue Crab, Spicy Tune just to name a few.
