Delmonico Steakhouse New Lead Mixologist Reinvigorates Whiskey Library and Cocktail Program

Juyoung Kang,  new lead mixologist for Chef Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico Steakhouse, began her career with Emeril's restaurants in May 2015. A Philadelphia native, Kang started out bartending in her hometown and shortly made her way to Las Vegas in 2010 and tended bar in many well- known restaurants and bars around the city.
