Las Vegas’ vegan scene takes the national stage on July 10 when Diana Edelman—founder of the blog Vegans, Baby (vegans baby.com) and an occasional Las Vegas Weekly contributor—curates a plant-based dinner at the James Beard House in New York City, featuring five of the Valley’s most prominent chefs.

Oscar Amador (EDO Gastro Tapas & Wines), Andrew Carroll (Catch at Aria), Brian Howard (Sparrow + Wolf) and Yuri Szarzewski and Vincent Pellerin of Partage have collaborated on a menu that includes dishes such as chilled sweet pea, spinach and mint soup, and marinated white asparagus and salsify with cashew chutney and muhammara.

“It’s really cool to have these chefs coming with me to do vegan food, which isn’t what their restaurants are,” Edelman says. “They’re just so incredibly good at what they make."
