Famed Momofuku and Milk Bar, which have brought addictive noodles, fried chicken and desserts to the East Coast, Canada and even Australia, are finally heading west.Michelin starred and James Beard Award-winning chef David Chang has officially announced plans to expand his New York-based Momofuku empire by opening a spot in the Cosmopolitan hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, according to the L.A. Times. Pastry chef and two-time Beard Award-winner Christina Tosi, who developed the desserts for Momofuku, will also be bringing the restaurant's sister bakery, Milk Bar, to the hotel. And while no exact opening date has been set for either Momofuku or Milk Bar, if you've seen the lines at the other popular locations, you can expect people to start lining up right about now.
As far as the menus go, nothing specific has been released yet, but at Momofuku, we're likely to see some variation of Chang's celebrated noodles and fried chicken found at the other locations. While at Milk Bar we can hopefully enjoy some of Tosi's crack pie and sweet-savory compost cookies.
"We've got to make a restaurant that is accessible to a wide variety of people, but at the same time different, and innovative," Chang tells the Times. "At the end of the day, the only thing we are going to try to develop is delicious food and great service."
Momofuku and Milk Barwill be located at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, 3708 S. Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, (702) 698-7000.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced.
