Mohegan and Cornerstone Restaurant Group have announced the openings of Michael Jordan’s Steak House and MJ23 Sports Bar & Grill, as well as two original concepts – Hi-Fi Chicken & Beer – and Brasserie 1783 at the new Inspire South Korea resort.
Cornerstone President Joshua Zadikoff stated: “We’ve always had plans to make our concepts international. What better way to make a global impression than to bring Michael Jordan’s Steak House and three other concepts to the premier new entertainment destination in Asia.”
The restaurants located in South Korea are going to be part of Mohegan INSPIRE entertainment resort which includes 1275 hotel rooms, a 15,000-seat arena, an indoor waterpark, convention facilities, retail shopping and a casino for foreign players.
Mohegan also recently announced a systems agreement with Light & Wonder for its Inspire Resort, slated to open in late 2023. The full installation will include Light & Wonder’s slot and table games.
Culinary Director Craig Couper has been the leading influence in the development of the menu at Michael Jordan’s Steak House and MJ23 Sports Bar & Grill. The dining concept includes Michael Jordan’s famous quotes and a sports-viewing experience.
In addition, Hi-Fi chicken & Beer will be a new diner that includes Korean-style fried chicken and beer, and Brasserie 1783 will feature a French all day Brasserie, a raw bar, a hot air balloon shaped bar (as an ode to the first hot air balloon flight in 1783), a patisserie and coffee bar and an outdoor patio.
Ray Pineault, President & CEO of Mohegan, said, “Mohegan has enjoyed such a remarkable and productive relationship with Cornerstone Restaurant Group and we’re so thrilled about this new venture we’re working on for Mohegan Inspire.”
