The details are light, but wildly popular Las Vegas chef James Trees is set to rejuvenate a longtime restaurant fixture, Voodoo Steak at Rio.<\/p>\n

Rio has been mum on the move, but we have it on good authority it’s happening and our taste buds are already on high alert.<\/p>\n

Trees is the culinary wizard behind Esther’s Kitchen, Bar Boheme and Petite Boheme in the Arts District, as well as Al Solito Posto and Ada’s Food + Wine in Summerlin.<\/p>\n

That’s pretty much all we’ve got at this point, we’re really just trying to remind Eater Vegas, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and all the YouTube and TikTok kids who’s boss.<\/p>\n

We are a longtime fan of Chef James Trees, as he is responsible for what is possibly the best chicken parm in the world (Sgrizzi Ristorante edges it out, but that’s not in a part of town you’re every likely to visit, so Al Solito Posto wins by a nose for the purposes of this story).<\/p>\n

His only “fail” was the sandwich and cookie shop at the Strat, 108 Eats.<\/p>\n

Overall, though, Trees just keeps knocking them out of the park.<\/p>\n

Here’s a recent interview with Chef James Trees. Host Mike Davis is a lot, but he recently said nice things about us on the Plaza Podcast<\/a>, so we love him.<\/p>\n
