On the January 11, 2013 on demand and downloadable episode, Hotel Interactive’s Editor-in-Chief Glenn Haussman is up in Connecticut at the famed Mohegan Sun Resort.
 
We speak with:

• Mitchell Etess the CEO of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority. The Authority is one of the leaders in the gaming business with properties in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and most recently they landed a deal to manage Resorts in Atlantic City where they are Buffetizing the place. That is, bringing a Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Casino and Restaurant to the property as well as the beachside Landshark Bar & Grill.
• Shaun Golan, executive chef at Ballo Italian Restaurant and Social Club, is a rising star who has created a menu that deftly crosses a modern approach to cuisine while still delivering Italian classics people must have. You won’t believe how much chicken parm they can make. But more important is how he creates new dishes that are awe inspiring. Beyond that they turn this place into a great nightclub on weekends and shares their secrets to continued success.
• Then we wrap up with breakfast at Hash House a Go Go. The growing chain which dubs itself as serving twisted farm food is expanding in casino resorts and even standalone locations. We find out from co-owner Jim Rees why this company is connecting so well with customers and just how they can create such amazing food without freezing anything!
