As one of the most decorated, respected, and charismatic chefs in the world, five-time James Beard Award Winner Todd English has established one of the best-known restaurant brands in the nation, published critically acclaimed cookbooks, produced his own TV show, and enjoyed a staggering number of accolades including Bon Appetit’s Restaurateur of the Year and Nation’s Restaurant News’ Top 50 Tastemakers.

Todd English served as Executive Chef of the Northern Italian restaurant Michela’s in Cambridge, MA before opening his first restaurant, the award-winning Olives, in Charlestown, MA in 1989. Current Olives locations include Atlantis in the Bahamas, Venetian Village at The Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi and Las Vegas’ Virgin Hotel. Following the success of Olives, he created Figs, a more casual sister restaurant concept with two locations in Boston, one in Laguardia Airport, and two locations in the Middle East. In 2010, Todd opened the European-inspired Todd English Food Hall located at the iconic Plaza Hotel, followed by additional locations in Manila and The Dubai Mall. Todd has since expanded his food hall concept to Las Vegas with The Beast at AREA 15 in 2021.

Todd has recently expanded his work in the hospitality industry by partnering with global entrepreneur, Keith Burkard, for the formation of English Hospitality Group (EHG). In February 2022, EHG launched The English Hotel, the highly anticipated upscale boutique hotel in Las Vegas’ vibrant Arts District, featuring art exhibitions and an exceptionally innovative dining experience with The Pepper Club.



Pine Dining is a Summer Chef Cookout Series taking place over eight weekends at the site of the historic Mt. Charleston Lodge. Acclaimed Las Vegas chefs are invited to curate “cookout” weekends for the ultimate mountain dining experience with all proceeds going to the nonprofit of their choice.

As preparations are underway to rebuild and reimagine the beloved Lodge, the Ellis family wants to thank the Las Vegas community for their support and invite them back to enjoy the best of the city’s food and drink amidst the pines.
