Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Chef Bob Milligan is an

accomplished passionate second generation Chef. His experience began in

1996 as a busier at his father's restaurant in Seattle Washington during

the summer visiting family. Since then, he has played a pivotal climb

working in every role within the food service industry before progressing

to a line cook and prep chef at Circus Circus Casino on the busy attraction

strip of Las Vegas.

Chef Bob started his schooling at the Art institute of Las Vegas;

however his time there was short lived having to consistently work multiple

jobs to survive on his own away from family. He soon learned top quality

service, intuitive perception and supply and demand from many points of

view throughout his many service industry positions. His hunger for

knowledge has expanded to developing his skills in multiple cooking

techniques, cuisine history and cross utilization. He then further

progressed in marketing and Sales, interacting with clients and learning

how to anticipate their needs and demands.

As a Kitchen Manager for 3 years, he garnered the skills and knowledge

of effectively making an operation profitable, minimizing waste by infusing

product into specials and new recipes generating additional revenue through

hands on training, consistency and daily monitoring. In 2010 his role as a

Sous Chef at a boutique hotel awarded him the ability to renovate and run

the entire Banquet Culinary department under the tutelage of 3 times

"Florida Iron Chef" winner Chef Joshua Bernstein all of which have garnered

certain specific skills and knowledge making him a highly equipped

Executive Chef at a corporate managed hotel on Disney Property were upon

taking on that role he has recreated the cuisine offered to current trends

and upscale variety, empowering staff and creating daily specials you would

not normally find anywhere else. With the belief cooking is a form of art

and should be done with pride and passion to bring forth that touch of

excellence, he has created new recipes with bold and strategic marriage of

flavors that complement the cuisines from all over the world.
