Top Chef Master’s cheftestant Alex Stratta quietly left Wynn Las Vegas several weeks ago. Earlier this year his self titled Michelin-starred eatery Alex, in the Wynn, shuttered and he turned his attention to his more casual Italian trattoria Stratta in the same resort. A rep for Wynn states the name and concept for Stratta remains and tells us the resort’s executive chef David Snyder and Stratta’s assistant executive chef Joseph Leibowitz have taken the reigns. As for chef Stratta, both parties confirm that the split was amicable. His spokesperson furthers that he plans on taking some time to focus his culinary career on nutritional and disease preventative research and menu development, and the chef also has an “exciting new opportunity in the works in Asia.” — David Morris
