History
Andy Hooper, Jon Schwalb, and chef Jamie Tran opened the Black Sheep after DB Brassiere, where Tran served as executive sous chef,[1] closed at the Venetian, freeing up Tran. The three wanted to open a restaurant away from the Las Vegas Strip. They decided to open up a restaurant in a strip mall on the southwest side of Las Vegas, in an area where few casual fine dining restaurants existed and where Schwalb and Hoover live. They began renovating the space, which was formally occupied by Soulfish Poke, in February 2017 and opened in May.[2] The restaurant was named the Black Sheep because Tran identifies as the black sheep of her family.[3]
Chef Tran competed in Season 18 of Top Chef on
