Christopher Lee is one of the rare chefs to have earned James Beard Awards and Michelin stars before transitioning into the stratosphere of global resort leadership. Formerly of Gilt and Aureole, Lee now oversees the sprawling, multi-award-winning culinary portfolio at Wynn Las Vegas. His career is a testament to the power of classical foundations; he applies the same rigor to a 500-seat luxury dining room as he once did to intimate boutique kitchens, maintaining a gold standard of excellence across the industry.
Chef Lee takes on the bold, unpredictable flavor of green tomatoes. He joins Farmer Lee Jones to select the season’s best, then turns them into vibrant salad, salsa and scallop dishes.
