Joyce Anne Bucad has run the kitchen since the room's 2023 opening as Stanton Social Prime — a Chopped winner with sixteen years of culinary experience and dual pastry-savory training — and stayed through the early 2026 rebrand to Stanton Social Italian under Chris Santos's revised menu direction. The Art Deco "showgirl boudoir" room template carries intact across the rebrand; Bucad's new Italian program runs shareable plates with the original Stanton Social NYC theatrical service rhythm. Tao Group operates; Santos drives the menu architecture from the brand level. For Caesars Palace's most-theatrical shareable-dining room where the kitchen earns the format.
