Jeremy Ford opened the Vegas Stubborn Seed at Resorts World in February 2026 — Top Chef Season 13 winner and Michelin-starred at the Miami Beach original since 2017. Eight-course $135 / ten-course $175 tasting menu format anchors the kitchen, with Ford's signature program intact (Kaluga caviar macaroon, foie tart, pan-roasted barramundi). The Art Deco room with red banquettes and glass-fronted kitchen reads as the brand's most-finished setting yet. For Vegas's strongest 2026 chef-pedigree opening — the Miami Stubborn Seed translated to Strip-property scale.
