After much anticipation and excitement surrounding the news of renowned chef Michael Schulson opening multiple restaurants in Atlantic City’s Ocean Resort Casino, it has been announced that he will no longer be moving forward with his plans.
Schulson, known for his successful restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond, had originally signed a deal to bring three dining concepts to the newly renovated Ocean Resort Casino. His establishments were set to offer guests a variety of culinary experiences, from upscale Asian fusion cuisine to contemporary American fare.
However, it seems that unforeseen circumstances have led to Schulson’s decision to back out of the deal. While the specifics of the situation have not been disclosed, sources close to the chef have hinted at potential disagreements with the casino’s management and a shifting focus on other projects in his portfolio.
The news of Schulson’s withdrawal comes as a disappointment to both casino-goers and food enthusiasts alike, who were eager to experience his acclaimed cuisine in the vibrant Atlantic City dining scene. Many had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of his restaurants, with high hopes of a new culinary destination in the resort.
Despite this setback, Ocean Resort Casino has assured guests that plans are still on track for a diverse and exciting array of dining options within the property. With several other acclaimed chefs and restaurateurs already on board, the casino remains committed to offering visitors a top-notch culinary experience.
As for Schulson, he continues to focus on his flourishing restaurant empire, which includes popular establishments such as Izakaya, Double Knot, and Sampan. While his presence may not be felt in Atlantic City’s casino scene just yet, fans of his innovative cuisine can rest assured that there will be plenty of opportunities to indulge in his culinary creations elsewhere.
In a statement regarding the situation, Schulson expressed his regret at not being able to see his vision come to fruition in Ocean Resort Casino but remains grateful for the support of his loyal patrons. He expressed his hope that they will continue to enjoy his restaurants in other locations and look forward to potential future endeavors in the dynamic world of hospitality.
