From Executive Chef Bernard Ibarra, The Mirage Hotel & Casino
. It's no
illusion, but it can only be The Mirage, a hotel known for its
celebrity guests and four-star amenities. Here to give us a
taste of the good life are Bernard Ibarra and Alessandro Stratta,
two movers and shakers on the Vegas dining scene.
Ibarra,
a native of the French Pays Basque,
got his start at the nearby Michelin two-star Hôtel des Pyrénées,
before moving to Canada, where he worked for the government. He
then began a longlasting relationship with the Four Seasons
Hotel group that took him all over the world. Ibarra has worked
at outposts in Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Seattle, Houston,
Tokyo, and Singapore. In the off-Seasons, he has run his own
catering company in Florida and headed the kitchens of Arnaud's
in New Orleans. He was executive chef first of the Shangri-La
Hotel in Singapore and then the world-renowned Mandarin
Oriental in Hong Kong, before coming to the Mirage, where he
oversees all the Mirage restaurants, including Samba Brazilian
Steakhouse, Onda, Kokomo's, Mikado, and Renoir.
Dear Ms. Anderson
Fernandez,
Thank you for your reply.
I would love to join you at
one of your "get together" and meet yourself and your
husband.
Spanish food has always
been one of my favorite staples and, when ever I can, I
introduce many of the peninsula's food and or recipes to our
guests, here at The Mirage.
Anyway, I am glad I have
connected with you. I surfed your website, it is very nice.
I am looking forward to
meeting with you.
Hasta la vista.
Bernard Ibarra
