Osome has now launched in the Austin offering in-home sushi omakase dinner menus, paired with rare sake and Japanese whisky tastings.  Restaurant partners and chefs Michael Carranza and John Gocong joined in on the Osome venture to bring curated menus of premium fish offerings from Japanese fish markets together with seasonal Texas ingredients for a one-of-a-kind, intimate experience in the safety of their diners’ homes. Each omakase is between 15-24 courses and features some of the highest quality fish, beef, caviar, and seasonal ingredients that Texas and the world have to offer.

 

The Osome sushi omakase offering is designed to be a new, curated experience for diners. The Osome team comes straight to diners’ kitchens, with a full in-home sushi counter experience paired with bespoke sake and Japanese whisky tastings. The omakase features premium fish from Japanese fish markets Toyosu and Fukuoka, aged fishes, imported beef raised in Miyazaki Prefecture, and Australian bred wagyu.

 

 

Chefs and co-founders Michael Carranza and John Gocong have a combined 23 years of professional experience at sushi restaurants, including Uchi, Uchiko, Musashino, and Matsuhisa. Carranza and Gocong are also the chefs and owners of the new Hawaiian-Asian fast-casual restaurant Salty Cargo.

 

In-home menu options include the Classic Omakase ($250 per person), a 15-17 course omakase complete with a seasonal dessert by pastry chef Danielle Martinez; and the Platinum Omakase ($320 per person), a 20-23 course omakase composed of a mix of crudos, nigiri, and yakitori, with seasonal dessert, and includes a complimentary sake pairing curated by Osome’s Sake Sommelier. The fish for the platinum omakase are imported from around the world, including Bluefin Tuna from Japan, caviar from Russia, and uni from Santa Barbara. Additional sake and Japanese whisky pairings are available upon request.

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
