Pro Sushi Chef ”ROMAN ALLEN” Races the Clock To Open Vegas’ Premier Eatery in 30 Days!

Faded Truth Podcast

Roman Allen Sarmiento is a long time lover of cuisine and now executive chef of 'The Pepper Club' By Todd English. Though he started cooking young, it wasn't until he relocated to Las Vegas that Chef Roman decided to pursue a career in culinary arts. Since he viewed being a sushi chef as the closest thing to becoming a Samurai, he quickly realized he could fulfill his passion for food while paying homage to anime and Japanese culture. He honed his skills at Yellowtail under the tutelage of Chef Akira Back, Chef Jonathan Li, & Chef Taka San, where he underwent rigorous training and traveled the world with the team.

Sarmiento then got the opportunity to open a new restaurant in Sin City but there was a catch; they only had 30 days to get it done! Fast forward to a family-oriented and reliable crew that celebrated their 1 year anniversary this past spring. Chef has also launched a sake brand with his two partners; 'Okawari', which means "seconds" or "back for more". So whether you're in the mood for their signature French Toast, mystery omakase boxes, or some kimchi Brussels, you're guaranteed an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the joy of food and the spirit of innovation. https://www.instagram.com/chefromanallen_/
