Michel Richard is pleased to welcome you to Central Michel Richard at Caesars Palace, the first-ever restaurant helmed by a James Beard Award-winning chef to be open 24 hours a day. He exemplifies the art of cuisine and a love of his profession, and was a pioneer in French/California cuisine before moving to Washington, D.C., where Michel Richard Citronelle became his flagship restaurant. Richard's creativity can be seen in prestigious culinary publications such as Food & Wine, Food Arts and Bon Appétit. Chosen by the James Beard Foundation as Outstanding Chef 2007, Richard also won the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Wine Service at Citronelle the same year and his second book, “Happy in the Kitchen” published by Artisan, received a James Beard Nomination. To rave reviews, and the 2008 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant, he opened the first Central Michel Ri chard in Washington, D.C., which continues to be a highlight of that city’s restaurant scene. Rounding out Richard’s illustrious culinary portfolio is his elegant MICHEL, a modern French restaurant, opened at The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner in fall 2010.
