MICHAEL MINA

Creator / Managing Chef

Named Bon Appét i t Chef of the Year 2005, San Francisco Magazine Chef of the Year 2005, as wel l as Restaurateur of the Year 2005 by the Internat ional Food and Beverage Forum, acclaimed chef Michael Mina cont inues to dazzle the cul inary wor ld wi th bold dining concepts that have contr ibuted to San Francisco’s reputat ion as a world-class epicurean dest inat ion. He has also been an integral par t of the making of the now esteemed Las Vegas dining scene. “ I have been very for tunate to earn a l iv ing through my true passion,” says Mina. “Over a decade in the k i tchen has taught me so much about mysel f , my style and how to share this exci tement with my guests. Each new project shows me that there is absolutely nothing I would rather do.” The opening of h is eponymous s ignature restaurant, Michel in one-star and San Francisco Chronic le four-star winner MICHAEL MINA, in July 2004, marked the newest phase and ul t imate expression in the career of the James Beard Award-winning chef. The restaurant, now located at 252 Cal i fornia Street , San Francisco, is the same locat ion ( formerly Aqua) and in the ci ty where Mina f i rs t establ ished his cul inary reputat ion 20 years ago. Mina’s cul inary and business vis ion led to the founding of h is company, Mina Group, wi th partner Andre Agassi , in 2002. Under the auspices of Mina Group, he has opened 18 concept restaurants and a lounge concept: MICHAEL MINA in San Francisco, CLOCK BAR in San Francisco, RN74 in San Francisco, BOURBON STEAK in San Francisco, ARCADIA in San Jose, XIV (14) in Los Angeles, STONEHILL TAVERN in Dana Point , SEABLUE at MGM Grand in Las Vegas and SEABLUE in At lant ic Ci ty; BOURBON STEAK and SALTWATER in Detroi t , BOURBON STEAK Miami and BOURBON STEAK Scottsdale, BOURBON STEAK Washington D.C., AMERICAN FISH at Ar ia, Ci ty Center in Las Vegas as wel l as STRIPSTEAK at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Mina also remains Managing Chef of MICHAEL MINA Bel lagio ( formerly Aqua Bel lagio) and NOBHILL TAVERN at MGM Grand, both in Las Vegas.

An accompl ished chef for his 42 years, Mina has been involved in numerous creat ive enterpr ises. He conceptual ized, bui l t and opened CHARLES NOB HILL in San Francisco, earning i t three-and-a-hal f s tars, Pisces in Burl ingame, a three-star restaurant and AQUA BELLAGIO in Las Vegas (now MICHAEL MINA Bel lagio) , a Mobi le four-star winner. In 2001, Mina opened NOBHILL at MGM Grand in Las Vegas and AQUA at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa in Dana Point , CA. At the star t of his career, Mina was presented with an opportuni ty of a l i fet ime wi th then Executive Chef of the Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles, George Morrone. The two were asked to develop a concept and create a menu for an upscale seafood restaurant in San Francisco – the c i ty Mina had dreamed of cal l ing home one day. Welcomed to San Francisco by a major earthquake his second day in the ci ty, the unfazed Mina went to work, under the direct ion of George Morrone, and dedicated himsel f to creat ing a complete din ing exper ience – train ing the ent i re k i tchen staf f personal ly and ref ining the menu as the chef de cuis ine. Aqua opened to rave reviews and nat ional acclaim in 1991. Mina served as Aqua’s execut ive chef f rom 1993 to 2002, where he was awarded Rising Star Chef of the Year in 1997 and Best Cal i fornia Chef in 2002 by the James Beard Foundat ion. Born in Cairo, Egypt and raised in El lensburg, Washington, Mina has had a love af fai r wi th the k i tchen, creat ing memorable din ing exper iences for guests from a very ear ly age. Mina’s epicurean journey began in 1987 at the Cul inary Inst i tute of Amer ica in Hyde Park. Dur ing those 18 months of formal school ing, he spent h is weekends sharpening his natural talents wi th hands-on exper ience in Char l ie Palmer ’s k i tchen at the upscale Aureole in New York Ci ty. Despi te a demanding schedule, being in the k i tchen s imply remains a labor of love for the celebrated chef. “ I s tar ted in the k i tchen when I was very young,” explains Mina, “and I am st i l l as intr igued with the process as I was when I was a 15-year-old Garde Manger in a smal l French restaurant in my hometown.” Mina has been honored wi th numerous accolades, including the Michel in one-star award and San Francisco Chronic le’s four-star award for MICHAEL MINA in San Francisco, Michel in ’s one-star award for MICHAEL MINA Bel lagio in Las Vegas as wel l as induct ion into the American Gaming Associat ion’s Hal l of Fame in 2007. Mina has been featured in such nat ional media as Bon Appét i t , Food & Wine, Gourmet, Food Arts, Cigar Af ic ionado, Newsweek, TIME, Robb Report , Travel & Leisure, Wine Spectator, and others and the Food Network 's "After Midnight," Fine Liv ing Network’s “Opening Soon,” Pat O’Br ien’s “The Insider,” the CBS Ear ly Show, the NBC Today Show and Fox's syndicated "Good Day Live." He has been a featured guest chef at the James Beard House numerous t imes, cooked for First Lady Laura Bush, and has been a guest speaker at C.I .A. in Hyde Park and at other cul inary inst i tutes in Cal i fornia.
