The Cordish Companies and its Live! Casino & Hotels portfolio has formed a new culinary partnership with celebrity chef Jet Tila to launch exclusive menu items in Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Maryland.
As part of the exclusive collaboration, Tila will curate a specialty menu of his most well-known dishes for the operator’s Luk Fu restaurants, set to first debut at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia in May 2026.
"We are incredibly proud to welcome Chef Jet Tila to the Live! family," Cordish Gaming Group President Rob Norton said.
"Our award-winning restaurants consistently offer world-class cuisine and service to our guests, and partnering with a talent like Chef Tila allows us to set a new standard for Asian culinary excellence within our resorts."
Additional launches at Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana and Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland will follow later in 2026, while Tila has gained public acclaim for his appearances on culinary shows such as Iron Chef America, Beat Bobby Flay and Tournament of Champions.
Speaking on the new collaboration, Tila said, "Live! Casinos and Hotels are legendary for their energy and commitment to excellence.
“We also share the same level of passion for hospitality, so I'm excited to bring my flavors to their incredible properties and create an unforgettable dining experience for Luk Fu guests.”
The Cordish Companies stated Tila has become “one of the most influential voices” for modern Asian cuisine, and is “renowned” for his ability to “bridge the gap between traditional heritage and contemporary innovation.”
During February 2026, Wynn Resorts formed a global partnership with Chef’s Table to launch new culinary events and a redesigned dining option for Wynn Las Vegas this fall, currently scheduled to run from September 17-19.
The first phase of the global partnership will see Chef’s Table reconstruct Wynn Las Vegas’ Revelry tasting restaurant into Wynn Revelry by Chef’s Table in September, part of a multi-year collaboration between the two entities.
