How Chef James Trees is Redefining Food in Las Vegas

With the opening of his latest establishments, Petite Bohème and Bar Bohème, we think it's safe to say that Chef James Trees has created a restaurant empire in Las Vegas — and transformed the Arts District in lasting ways. Today, co-host Sarah Lohman sits down with Chef James to talk about his upbringing on the Eastside running with the "wrong crowd," how restaurants changed his life, what it was like returning to Las Vegas to start his flagship restaurant, Esther's, and where he thinks the dining scene in Las Vegas is headed. (And heads up: This conversation gets spicy!)
