EaterWire: J.Gold's Cocktail Party Updates, The Counter and Lagasse's Stadium Open

DOWNTOWN— Don't forget that on October 10 Jonathan Gold will hold his glitzy Union Station Cocktail Party to raise funds for Zocalo Public Square. In addition to the previously mentioned big boys that include Providence, Comme Ca, Rivera, Cut, and Palate, now Mozza, Church & State and The Gorbals have been added to the list of edibles, despite the fact that The Gorbals is still shuttered.

PASADENA— Today at 11a, the newest outpost of The Counter debuted on Shoppers Lane. Now those on the Eastside can build their own burger out of the supposed 312,260 burger-cheese-topping (yes, there are fried pickles) combinations. [EaterWire]

VEGAS, BABY— Though it soft opened in early September, this past Friday marked the official grand opening of Emeril Lagasse's newest venture, Lagasse's Stadium inside the Palazzo Hotel. Formerly Jay-Z's 40/40 club, the space has been revamped with an expanded kitchen but still functions as a sports book/lounge/restaurant. [EaterWire]
