Chef Kwame Onwuachi — a James Beard Award winner, Top Chef champion, and the force behind New York’s acclaimed Tatiana — is heading to Las Vegas. His next project: a first-of-its-kind steakhouse on the Strip that draws from his Afro-Caribbean heritage while shaping the city’s next wave of chef-driven dining. The Sahara announced that Onwuachi’s newest restaurant, Maroon, will open at the resort in late 2025. At Maroon, Onwuachi’s menu will feature live-fire cooking, jerk rubs, dry-aged cuts, scotch bonnet-infused sauces, grilled seafood, and sides that draw on West African, Jamaican, and Creole traditions, according to Travel and Leisure. The restaurant is a first for Las Vegas — a Black-owned Strip restaurant that puts diasporic flavors front and center, telling a story that’s as personal as it is universal.
