Food and sports viewing are a perfect pairing, and nobody does a better job of bringing them together than Mabel’s Bar & Q at Palms Casino Resort. If you haven’t already heard, Chef Symon is the mastermind behind all the flavor-packed menu items — each one guaranteed to be a real game changer. He has worked arduously to create a dynamic dining experience that fosters a sense of camaraderie among fans and foodies.
“For those seeking an elevated experience, Mabel’s Bar & Q is one of the few sports bars that cares so much about food,” said Chef Symon. “We are a chef-driven restaurant that also happens to have a great space to watch sports. Not to mention, our beer and bourbon lists are tough to beat.”
With a Mediterranean and Eastern European background, Chef Symon’s recipes and cooking style are greatly influenced by these cultures. The Mediterranean region emphasizes fresh, wholesome ingredients that promote simplicity and balance. Eastern European cuisine, by contrast, contributes complex flavors and dishes rooted in agricultural traditions. By blending Mediterranean freshness with Eastern European heartiness, Chef Symon has successfully developed dishes that pay homage to these regions while catering to contemporary tastes.
“Refining countless recipes over the span of my culinary career, I’ve found that great food doesn’t require smoke and mirrors,” said Chef Symon. “It all comes down to using quality ingredients and handling them properly.”
Taking this approach to heart, Chef Symon and his team thoughtfully curated items to appear on Mabel’s Bar & Q new tailgate menu. In fact, the recipes were inspired from the food Chef Symon loves to eat and make when entertaining at home. Guests can choose from mouthwatering options like bacon wrapped jalapeno, beer braised bratwurst, brisket grill cheese, an impressive wing platter, rib platter, and more! Taking the concept of iconic game day eats to a whole new level, this will be the destination of choice for fans every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday during football season.
Barbeque That Raises The Bar
As the name would suggest, Mabel’s Bar & Q is known for its BBQ. Chef Symon’s passion for cooking meats over live fire has led to award-winning eats including Best Ribs in America from USA Today and Best Burgers in America at SOBE Burger Bash on four occasions. Chef Symon highly recommends the sticky ribs and bowls off the dinner menu. But thankfully, your taste buds are guaranteed a win no matter what you choose. Serving up the perfect combination of delicious food and high energy atmosphere scores Mabel’s Bar & Q extra points.
“I’m extremely proud of the way we’ve redefined the sports bar experience in Las Vegas,” said Chef Symon. “It’s the ultimate place to have delicious, thoughtfully prepared food with family, friends, and fellow fans.”
