Chef Chad Minton Named New Executive Chef for Pacific’s Edge at Hyatt Carmel Highlands

Leave a comment

Steve McNally, General Manager for Hyatt Carmel Highlands announced today the hiring of Chef Chad Minton as the hotel’s new Executive Chef.

Carmel, CA, October 01, 2014 – Steve McNally, General Manager for Hyatt Carmel Highlands announced today the hiring of Chef Chad Minton as the hotel’s new Executive Chef. “We are fortunate to have a culinary team as passionate about their work as they are experienced and professionally trained,” Mr. McNally says. “And in Chef Minton, we are bringing our dining experiences to the highest levels for our guests. We are proud to welcome a Chef of his stature to the Hyatt Carmel Highlands and our restaurants Pacific’s Edge and California Market.”

Chef Minton comes to Carmel with an outstanding record of culinary achievement, beginning with the Shoreline Grill at the Four Seasons in Austin, Texas. He relocated to San Francisco where he worked at the Ritz-Carlton under Chef de Cuisine Gary Danko. At that property’s Terrace Room, Minton became intimately familiar with traditional French provincial techniques and cemented his undeniable passion for cooking. His talent earned him a promotion to the Ritz-Carlton Atlanta and was elevated to Dining Room Sous Chef under Chef de Cuisine Olivier Gaupin. Later in his career Chef Minton would return to the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company at their Mobile Five Diamond Marina Del Rey property as Executive Chef earning him the distinction of the only cook in the company’s history to work his way up from Apprentice to Executive Chef. It was here that he achieved every chef’s lifetime goal of earning a Michelin Guide recommendation for his restaurant, Jerne.

Chef Minton’sfirst experience with Hyatt came as Chef de Cuisine at the Grand Hyatt San Francisco. During his tenure there, he was a regular guest of Narsi David’s Cooking Classes at Macy’s Cellar, catered charity events in Napa Valley and San Francisco and conducted private dinners for the Pritzker family and Robert Mondavi. Chef Minton is also proud to have hosted an American Institute of Wine and Food gala dinner where he had the honor of meeting that organization’s esteemed co-founder Julia Child. Chef Minton then assisted in the re-opening of the Hyatt Regency Vancouver property following a twenty-million-dollar renovation in 2002, becoming the Chef de Cuisine at the newly created  Mosaic Bar and Grill.

Chef Minton’s desire to return to Hyatt was met with a move to New York City as Executive Chef at the Andaz 5th Avenue, Hyatt Hotel’s ultra-chic, lifestyle boutique flagship property; recently named Travel & Leisure Magazine’s #1 New York business hotel and one of Conde Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Top Ten Hotels in New York City.

MAX Agency Press Release – September 30, 2014

Leave a comment

Ellen has been a part of the film industry for most of her life through the film centre, as a fundraiser and more recently as an actress.

Toronto, ON, September 30, 2014 – Featured in this week’s press release is MAX Agency Toronto talent Ellen Nichols. Ellen has been a part of the film industry for most of her life through the film centre, as a fundraiser and more recently as an actress. I asked Ellen how she got started in the business,

“The only contact I’ve really had with the business was through the film centre. I was their main fundraising person and the construction manager. That was my involvement. I would be asked to step in to do acting for auditions. One day I would be playing a four year old kid and the next an old lady.”

I asked Ellen who she knows in the business and how she met them,

“I ended up being a fundraiser for different charities. The film centre made me a lifetime member and I would speak at events. I introduced Martin Scorsese for The Last Temptation of Christ. I met Robert De Niro in the lobby and escorted him to his seat and another time I introduced Meloche Bohrman. I know Norman Jewison, the actor Gordon Pinsent, Rod Steiger, Liza Minelli and Beau Bridges. I picked up Nicholas Cage and Olympia Dukakis from the airport and took them to their hotel. I met Atom Egoyan and Christopher Plummer when they came to town for the first fundraiser for the Film Centre and I recently auditioned for Atom through MAX for a movie starring Christopher Plummer. I even ate a hamburger with Dennis Hopper.”

How did you join MAX Agency?

“I’ve only been involved in this with MAX because my granddaughter said I should do this. While I was involved with the island airport dispute I was scouted on the street. The scout stopped me and took pictures of me and I remember I had on a fedora, I had on a hat and I gave her my cell phone number. I got a call from MAX Models Toronto and they signed me up and they sent me to the photographer and to an acting class. I had to wait a while because I fell on my elbow and needed surgery so as soon as I got through that I started the acting lessons and they started putting my name forward.”

What acting had you done before joining MAX Agency?

“I haven’t done that many things. For MAX I’ve done a Kevin Drew Video, a retirement video for Riviera, a commercial for Fortnight lingerie so far with MAX. I got the part for a little short film where my character was running off with her ex-boyfriend, I was also in a feature length film and there is another film I’m supposed to be in that hasn’t been shot yet.”

Ellen has more experience in the business than she leads us to believe and she is very optimistic about her future in the business and how things have been so far, “I’ve never made a living as an actor, I sort of fell into this and the more the better. I think if I can just get in the door I can get the part. I’ve been really happy with MAX Agency!”

MAX Agency’s Bookers are currently looking for new Talent! If you are interested we highly recommend visiting maxagency.com and filling out an Application. Wishing MAX continued success in the industry we’re looking forward to the Fall and future press releases featuring individual talent and projects and finding out more about MAX Agency Toronto’s Premier Model and Actor Agency for kid modeling, teen modeling and adults!

Leading Specialist Luxury Tour Operator, Luxury Travel Ltd, is Rewarded for its Excellent Performances in 2013/2014

Leave a comment

Vietnam’s first luxury travel and tour operator (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) celebrates its 10-year anniversary in leading luxury tourism in Vietnam by receiving a prestigious travel award.

Hanoi, Vietnam, September 29, 2014 – In cooperation with the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), the Vietnam Economic Times, together with its tourism and hospitality magazine, The Guide, willaward the stars of the travel and hotel industry in Vietnam at a glitteringceremony of The Guide Awards on the 20th September 2014at the Amiana Resort inNha Trang.

Luxury Travel is honored and grateful to be offered this distinction when once again it receives an award, the seventh since 2007, attesting to the fact that its teams maintain their high standards and always go above and beyond the expectations of their clients during their trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar or Thailand.

This reward from The Guide is decided by its executives, after discussions between travel, hotel, restaurant and shopping experts, including representatives of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It also takes into account social media (such as Trip Advisor reviews) to reflect feedback from the public as well as the experience of readers of The Guide who vote online or by post.

This voting process is really meaningful for a travel agency. The readers’ feedback is unbelievably important and is a key factor in helping the tourism sector create new products and work towards improving its standards of service. That is why being given an awardseven times in a row by The Guide is, in effect, being rewarded by the customers and people who experience our services, which makes this award even more valuable to us.

Luxury Travel promotes a style of travel that goes beyond the idea of the conventional sightseeing packages, focusing on immersing clients in the local culture and venturing out to lesser-known destinations. The key thing sophisticated travelers want today is personal service and the opportunity to have unique encounters with a destination’s culture, history and people – something they can’t Google.

“Our teams are very happy to see that their hard work and efforts are rewarded.I am proud of the whole luxers team – you know how to provide a “wow” service to our most sophisticated travelers. Luxury Travel Ltd wouldn’t be as successful today without you.”said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

Set Sail in Style with All-Inclusive Luxury Cruising

Leave a comment

Vietnam’s first five-star all-inclusive cruise in Nha Trang Bay – Fit for an Emperor

Hanoi, Vietnam, September 28, 2014 – The project was started in September 2014 and the first sailing is expected to be in the summer of 2015. The participants include Luxury Travel Ltd with the high-end cruise company, Huong Hai Ha Long Ltd.

One of the 29 most beautiful bays in the world, with miles of long, beautiful white-sand beaches and warm water, year-round green tropical islands and parks, rivers, typical fishing villages, special culinary characteristics and gorgeous seafood… Just some of the highlights of Nha Trang that appeal to seasoned holidaymakers.

Indeed Nha Trang Bay is a natural world of sparkling sea, marine life and islands waiting to be explored in style. Emperor Cruises (www.emperorcruises.com) combines oriental style with contemporary luxury. Together these create the perfect recipe for exploration, luxury adventures, enchantment, relaxation and memorable experiences.

The project will create jobs, boost the region’s economy and help to position Nha Trang Bay as one of the world’s luxury tourist destinations with smart international hotels and resorts such as the Intercontinental, Six Senses, Evason and Amanoi, and the Marriott and Hyatt coming soon on Long Beach.

According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Khanh Hoa Province, in 2013, over 3 million domestic and foreign tourists enjoyed overnight stays and sightseeing in the beach resort of Nha Trang and the surrounding attractions in the province, an increase of 29% compared to 2012. Of these, nearly 712,000 were international tourist arrivals.

Nha Trang has been the top attraction for travelers for both domestic and international tourists for many years and is also popular with day visitors because of its delightful beach, considered the most beautiful beach in Vietnam, with deep blue sea and seemingly endless white sand.

Inspiration for Emperor Cruises came from the recreational activities of Emperor Bao Dai when he used to stay in his villas in Nha Trang. He took great pleasure in sailing in Nha Trang Bay to go fishing around the offshore islands. Almost a half century later, Emperor Cruises have recreated his vessel, using inspirational designs, and still fit for an emperor.

The Emperor Cruises fleet has a junk cruise boat (from February 2015 with a capacity of 32 passengers) fit for royalty for day cruises around Nha Trang Bay as well as sunset cocktails and dinner on board.

“Emperor Cruises will also launch overnight luxury cruises in June 2015 in world-famous Nha Trang Bay, accommodating 30 people in 15 en-suite cabins, the first in a total of five cruise ships in this particular project, with each one designed to be a sanctuary where every moment counts for our guests.” said Bui Duc Long, Owner and Director of Emperor Cruises.

“With Emperor Cruises luxury doesn’t mean there won’t be adventure! You spend your time watching wildlife, scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, kayaking, embracing Mother Nature, and passing the time with your fellow passengers and crew.”

The benefit of an ultra-luxury cruise with Emperor Cruises is that, apart from being small boats with personalized service and outstanding facilities on an all-inclusive basis, often there is no bill to pay at the end whether on a one-day or two-day cruise.

The cruise fleet will accommodate up to 150 guests in five unique boats within five years in the initial stage and then the joint-venture company will develop a fleet of 10 boats carrying up to 300 to 500 passengers cruising the bay on a daily basis.

The project has chartered capital of VND250 billion and the project aims to promote Nha Trang and Vietnam as a luxury cruise destination.

For international tourists, Russia is the country that occupies first place in the number of visitors to Khanh Hoa Province with about 150,000, thanks to chartered direct flights and Vietnam Airlines’ route straight from Moscow to Nha Trang.

With significant numbers of visitors from Australia, America, France, England and Germany, Vietnam expects to receive around 8 million tourists in 2014.

Breakout Gaming Announces New Coin and Gaming Destination

Leave a comment

Legendary poker stars unite in Team Breakout with a combined 38 World Series of Poker Bracelets

Los Angeles, CA, September 22, 2014 — <a href=’http://www.breakoutgaming.com’>Breakout Gaming (BRO)</a>, a budding leader in cryptocurrency technology and game development, announced the launch of the first destination for online gaming and digital currency with the support of an all-star roster of sponsored players.

“We are going to shake up the <a href=’http://www.breakoutgaming.com’>gaming community</a> with the world’s first cryptocurrency that has a dedicated ecosystem for its coins,” said core-partner and two-time back-to-back WSOP champion Johnny Chan. “We felt there was an untouched niche for digital currency enthusiast to play digital games such as Poker, Blackjack, and Fantasy Sports, all while investing in the long-term opportunity of Breakout being the next go-to gaming destination.”

Although the cryptocurrency arena has seen a plethora of new coins, the fundamental flaw comes back to the lack of opportunities to actually spend the coins. Breakout Gaming has addressed this issue head-on with an entire ecosystem for coin investors to use their new currency in an exciting way.

An in-house, web based, exchange seamlessly converts Bitcoin (BTC) to Breakout Coin (BRO) with a cold storage solution to protect the currency, avoiding the opportunity for hackers to enter the servers. Breakout Gaming’s site will feature 88 different casino games including the popular Texas Hold ‘Em, Open Face Chinese Poker, in addition to a custom built Fantasy Sports betting platform.

In order to raise awareness and spark mainstream interest for the new Poker destination, Breakout has partnered with some of the World’s greatest players including the legendary Johnny Chan, Huck Seed, Jennifer Harman, Ted Forrest, Todd Brunson, Russia’s Vladimir Shchemelev, and more. Collectively the Breakout Poker Team has won over 38 World Series of Poker Bracelets.

“iGaming and cryptocurrency make a good pairing,” said David Gzesh, leading igaming/cryptocurrency attorney.  “Breakout Gaming will be positioned to address both players’ desires for privacy and regulators’ demands to meet both KYC and AML rules. In that regard the BRO Coin launch will present a breakthrough in a layered design.”

“In life, we are always being told to work hard in order to play hard,” said sponsored player and partner Jennifer Harman. “At Breakout Gaming we’re offering the opportunity to have these two sides meet in an intelligently designed investment and gaming platform. It’s like an online gaming playground for the ‘cryptos’ of the world.”
