James Beard Award Nominee Elizabeth Blau is recognized for the impact of her leadership, innovation and philanthropy over a nearly four-decade career. Elizabeth is widely credited with transforming Las Vegas into a world-class culinary destination. Today, she is known for helping shape the global dining scene by bringing award winning chefs and restaurateurs to international real estate mixed use projects as well as luxury resort developments.

Along with her husband Chef Kim Canteenwalla, she operates successful signature restaurants including Honey Salt in Las Vegas and Vancouver, Buddy’s V’s Ristorante on the Las Vegas Strip, Crown Block Restaurant at the Reunion Tower in Dallas and a portfolio of acclaimed restaurants at the Parq Vancouver Resort & Casino.

In 2020, she co-founded the non-profit Women’s Hospitality Initiative to develop and implement programs for women to achieve leadership positions in the restaurant industry. During the pandemic, Elizabeth co-created Delivering with Dignity, a program that has delivered over 750,000 chef prepared nutritious meals to the food insecure community.
On this episode, Elizabeth joins host Mitchell Davis and discusses the high mortality rates of restaurants, the importance of experiential dining, and the need to address food insecurity.
