The James Beard Vegas Vegan Encore Dinner at Catch

Summer 2019 was one for the books for Vegans, Baby. It started with a special Vegas Vegan Dinner at the famous James Beard House in New York, and then the next month brought the dinner to Las Vegas.

The special dinner was curated by Vegans, Baby’s Diana Edelman and was the first vegan dinner of its kind at the House to highlight a city and its talented chefs.

Here’s a look back at the Las Vegas encore dinner featuring five celebrated chefs and five exquisite vegan dishes at CATCH Las Vegas inside Aria Las Vegas.

Vegans, Baby's Diana Edelman curated the Vegas Vegan Dinner highlighting five exceptional Las Vegas chefs and vegan dining at the James Beard House and later in Las Vegas. For more vegan news, visit www.vegansbaby.com. Photos: Stardust Fallout
