How Chef Leticia Nunez Runs the Best Buffet in Las Vegas - Chefs of the Strip (Bacchanal)

*If the chef cares about what the customer thinks then he/she truly cares about what he/she dishes out...well done!*

Not really not evey one what they are talking about.

[@ac.initial.d.project7940]

They dont care. Its just for show and on screen.

[@marlenevalle4252]

I like how humble she is in the way she bosses her workers. She doesn't yell or makes them feel ashamed or stupid, instead she just corrects them and makes them feel good to work with her. She is amazing. Plus she gets involved hands on hands with them, not just sits around.

[@danomalley2473]

Yup. Reminds me of a boss I had at a local grocery store. We had orientation at a building across the street, and on the way over to the store, my boss told us new recruits to head into the store, while he went into a neighboring parking lot to grab a shopping cart that some customer of ours had taken off premises. He could have had any of us do it, but he did it himself. This guy was always working. If he was walking from the back of the store to the front, he would face the shelves (move stock to the front) on the way. He was always stopping to pick up little pieces of paper or whatever off of the floor while on his way to somewhere else. It made everyone else OK with doing that as well. He didn't just order people around.

I so agree. It's an exceptionally demanding head chef position, in charge of all aspects of both cooking and support/supplies.

[@well_as_an_expert_id_say]

Yelp is not authentic though

[@Dayvit78]

Getting customer feedback is important, but it may not be accurate. So it's more to be taken as a guide, rather than an absolute fact that you have to react to. (Even if the review itself is truthful, it's colored by memory bias - if you had a bad time, you'll remember more things as being bad, and vice versa if you had a good time.)

She's amazing and the world needs more people like her running their businesses.

[@karinabenavides7611]

Love that most of the people working are Latinos/Hispanics! They are showing that we are hard working and if we set our mind to it we can do anything! GREAT JOB!👍

[@eclecto]

Really inspiring to see a chef waiting for the prime matter at 4am and work for another 14 to 16 hours a day! Respect this lady.

[@intldawn]

What a cool lady. Fun to see her and her team in action. She’s clearly a really good leader, very thoughtful, exacting, motivating and humble

[@lizr7157]

She is smart, every business owner should be reading their reviews online n take them very serious.

You know in Japan, an apprentice spends 3 years just to perfect cooking sushi rice. Man, it ain't easy!

[@CarlosSanchez-en6mr]

Frederick Lim its a California roll, calm down 😂

[@nonegone7170]

Actually, it's more like 3 years of washing rice, let alone cooking : )

[@judeisnot_rude]

Another 5 years learning how to use the sushi knives

[@ibec69]

BS, an apprentice starts a regular sushi place, they're on rice duty on their first few days. I live in Japan. That perfect place you imagine exists only in your heads. There are more than 20000 sushi places only in Tokyo. If an apprentice took 3 years to make rice all those places wouldn't be able to find enough people to work for them.

[@sant-oyo387]

@@ibec69 Im pretty sure they mean real deal top sushi rice. I’m not an expert but there’s a certain technique to make it, and many small aspects like washing it (how many times, how long, maybe even temperature of the water), the cooking method, water to rice ratio, vinegar amount, how to stir to steam properly, etc. Even when you got this down, it’s hard to keep it being consistent. There’s no chance all sushi places have experts making perfect rice, most of us wouldn’t/don’t feel the difference between perfect sushi rice and any sushi rice. This is why not every single sushi shop needs an expert, many people conform with some sticky rice.

I loved this woman. She has principles, and the necessary authority to get things done. I hope that the proprietors, pay her, her weight in gold.

[@robertopinto8250]

Much respect for this woman. Not everyone can do this job. Keep putting in the love you have for your job

[@marcial.1636]

What I love about her is that she listens to her customers. I love not only that but how she relays the grievances to her staff with much positivity and not with any condescend tone.

[@JuanRomero-pr2hy]

Now that's perfection her & staff are true Champions of how to run a buffet, I will love to eat there one day 👍

[@SkyeRangerNick]

Totally astounding. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Deep respect and admiration. Now I understand what the buffet is at Caesar's Palace.

[@jordinmorgan1144]

I’ve lived in Vegas for the past 6 years and I can definitely concur and recommend this buffet is by far The Best in Las Vegas its well worth of the price $50 lunch & dinner 🍴

[@zanjaya1]

These are the hard working people we need to have in USA.Keep up the good work. Good luck Chef and your team.

[@elsalisa146]

A very fortunate individual that she has the support and backing to do her job. This really is an exception in the hospitality industry.

[@kaushiksarkar103]

Best female chef I have ever seen, so cheerful, so good mood for, like she is cooking for her home, but the home for which she is cooking consist of 40,000 people. OMG

[@leydong]

I went here recently and man it was amazing. The food, decor, everything was an amazing experience and of course the food was great!

[@arizandyv13]

This lady is exactly like my mom. A true Oaxaqueña

[@DanielGarcia-ro6lq]

I love that you show so much humble chefs on here, that is my goal is to be humble and consistent.

[@kaaayl11]

Before lockdown my family & I use to go to vegas every year and would always stay at Caesars Palace. Everytime we go we ALWAYS got the buffet atleast twice. My dad is very picky with food with whats good & this is his favorite spot! We love the staff , theyre all so friendly and they’re always on top of everything! The food is always AMAZING. My dad isnt much of a sweets person but he always makes sure to save room for dessert too

[@BratzDoll03]

To pull this off with such ease, she's definitely in top 5 chefs of america 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@stardustgirl2904]

I've never heard of her

[@tbf390]

stardustgirl it doesn’t really matter if you’ve heard of them. There’s a huge difference between celebrity chefs and actual chefs. I’m not saying chefs that acquired the celebrity spotlight are bad, but they’re few and far between. She’s obviously incredibly talented.

[@stefanogomez8529]

She deserves a raise!

[@Zak-nc6on]

3:00 Chef: the sushi was dry Asian chefs in the corner: am I a joke to you?

[@sukongju]

La ame profundamente a Leticia Nunez, la proxima parada en Vegas seguro voy a Bacchanal, para darle un abrazo, su trabajo es increible.

[@bethany6205]

She takes so much pride in her work, I love it.

[@whaddupchunt]

Yes!!! My favorite buffet ever!! Truly the best one in Vegas!

[@jesseramirez9435]

She is amazing!! Love it pride an hard work ethic. U should take one another chef from the line so the can see where u two are coming from. I believe it would build a better understanding where u an jose r coming from an how hard ur job is and a little competition within the cooks. Keep up the great job!! Next time I'm in Vegas ill stop bye!

[@Dragun78253]

Very admirable head chef - can’t wait to try the bacchanal next time I’m in Vegas

[@smellypatel5272]

I love her attitude. Positive and the type of person who gets on top of problem

[@KrisnaAttayendra]

I really like her passion, her leadership, and the "we" instead of "me". Inspiring.

[@ciaraofcourse1]

This was THE best buffet I had. Made moving to Vegas worth it 😊

[@diggingmystyle]

L.A. has better ones for cheaper.

[@akramali7037]

U right
