    i. Biography

    Kwame Onwuachi is a chef whose current West Coast project is Maroon at SAHARA Las Vegas, described by SAHARA as his first foray into the West Coast culinary scene and by his own site as his first West Coast restaurant. He is also the chef behind Tatiana in New York City, which the restaurant’s site identifies as “Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi,” and which Wine Spectator notes as an award-winning restaurant. His cooking at Maroon is rooted in Caribbean influences and fine dining technique, with an Afro-Caribbean steakhouse concept highlighted by official and trade coverage.
