On Saturday, January 29, 2022, we experienced the Celebrity Chef Dine Around held in the Uncasville Ballroom at Mohegan Sun, which became the restaurant of the "stars" where guests had the opportunity to watch their favorite celebrity chefs in action plating up their stellar creations perfectly paired with wine, beer, or spirits. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet the chefs, ask questions, and of course, snap a photo or two.

The memorable evening of dining included a delectable assortment of appetizers, entrées, and cheeses, and culminated with fabulous desserts created by Chef Adam Young, and Chef Lynn Mansel and his creative team at Mohegan Sun who dazzled the eyes with their inspired dessert buffet.

To keep things lively, DJ Irie kept the beat going all night as guests partied, mixed, and mingled, ate, drank, and danced their way through the enchanted evening.
