In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Month, Tso Chinese Delivery is collaborating with Bom Bakeshop and Jjim – Korean Braised BBQ during the month of May to support the local AAPI community. Proceeds from these special dishes will benefit #TsoGiving, an organization with the mission to provide meal assistance to those facing hunger in the city of Austin, founded and operated by Tso Chinese Delivery, which has given over 22,000 meals in the past year.
“As Asian-American business owners, we believe it’s important to boost up other AAPI members of our community however we can,” said Eunice Tsang, Tso co-founder and director of #TsoGiving. “Both Bom Bakeshop and Jjim are new businesses that have opened over the past year during the pandemic, and we think it’s important to use our platform to spread the word about these amazing businesses, especially during AAPI Month.”
The collab dish from Jjim, which recently opened in South Austin, is a Braised Short Rib Rangoon, featuring Jjim’s signature braised beef short rib (or “”galbi jjim”) which is slow-cooked in a sweet, soy-based sauce. The short rib is stuffed into a wonton with Tso’s famous crab rangoon stuffing, then fried until crispy, making for a perfect appetizer for a meal from Tso. The short rib Rangoon is available for order via tsodelivery.com/ for $10, with $2 from every order going to #TsoGiving.
Bom Bakeshop, known for their light yet chewy mochi donuts, will be making a Mandarin Orange Mochi Donut topped with red sanding sugar, which is gluten and dairy free. This flavor, which is brand new and was created just for Tso, will be paired in a two-pack with a Chocolate Glazed Mochi Donut with Rainbow Sprinkles. and will be sold in two-packs for $9 with $2 from each box going to #TsoGiving. The donuts will be available daily, for order via tsodelivery.com/ until sold out, with very limited quantities available. Orders will be fulfilled from both Tso’s Cherrywood and Arboretum locations, with a delivery minimum of $20. There is no minimum for those who prefer to pick up their order.

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,…
