Chefs Susan Feniger & Mary Sue Milliken Talk Las Vegas, Trailblazing & 40+ Years Of Working Together

Grab your luggage and get ready for Destination Cherry Bombe, our first-ever travel miniseries. We are headed to Las Vegas! Each Wednesday this month, host Kerry Diamond will celebrate the bright lights on the Vegas culinary scene. Tune in to discover the chefs, mixologists, and innovators defining the city and taking the food scene to new heights.

Our first guests are Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, the trailblazing chefs who were the first women to open a restaurant on the famous Las Vegas Strip when their Border Grill debuted at Mandalay Bay in 1999. A lot has happened for them in the 25 years since, including the opening of multiple BBQ Mexicanas in Vegas, lots of philanthropic work, and even a documentary about Susan’s life.

Susan and Mary Sue have been professional partners for more than 40 years, so they also talk about the work it takes to have a decades-long relationship.

New episodes will drop each Wednesday in June. Thank you to Las Vegas for supporting our show. Learn more and book your trip here.
