Staying true to one color doesn’t mean playing it safe.

White can be the ultimate blank slate. Can't decide between bright white and creamy white? Use them both! Pairing subtly different whites and off-whites highlights texture and makes for a sophisticated look that will stand the test of time.

Chef Matthew Meyer takes great pride in his latest venture, Served, in Green Valley.

Meyer brings a unique menu to the Green Valley area. A California transplant, Meyer tried his culinary artistry in other avenues, such as a fusion taco food truck and a small café before opening his latest venture, Served, located at 1770 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, #100. After previously serving only breakfast and lunch, Served is now also open for dinner, and the menu is anything but ordinary. A mix of Asian and Latin dishes are given a unique spin to tantalize the taste buds. The menu displays items such as Peruvian lomo saltado, corned beef bread pudding Benedict and apple pie tempura pancakes. Even the burgers are extraordinary, both in size and in complexity. The miso pork belly burger starts with an 8-ounce Angus beef patty, arugula salad (tossed with miso vinaigrette), provolone cheese, thick tomato slices, wasabi mayo, pickles (made in-house) and is topped off with marinated roast pork belly. “Our pork belly is specially marinated for a whole day and is then slowcooked for seven hours, sealing in the most amazing flavors," Matthew says. That is just the start to the labor of love this chef brings to all his dishes, though. “I always wanted to own a restaurant where all the dishes on the menu were things I knew I would love to eat. That’s how Served got started. CONTINUED >

When I opened the doors, I had no recipes to start with. I just created great food, and the menu grew from there. ” He takes his craft seriously, too. Everything from the kimchi to the blackberry salsa is made in the restaurant. Their brisket is aged for three weeks before it’s made. “I like to experiment,” Matthew says. “Cooking and creating, that’s the easy part; it’s running a restaurant as a business that took a bit of learning.” While the restaurant is not in direct sight from the street on which it resides, Served relies on word-of-mouth and positive online reviews to attract new foodies while keeping fans of the restaurant coming back for new and exciting dining options. To keep things interesting for his patrons, Matthew likes to change the menu from time to time, adding new items that quickly become huge hits. “The short-rib chili cheeseburger. You have to try that, it’s amazing!” the chef says. “We make the chili ourselves and the short-ribs that go into it make it taste like no other chili. On a burger, it’s an incredible mix of flavors—like nothing I’ve ever tasted before!”

The outside of Served. Be sure to stop by this amazing eatery in Green Valley, located at 1770 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, #100.

Some of the ingredients that go into his entrees are definitely not things you find at your local grocery store, either. When asked what his favorite dish on the menu is, Meyer pontificates and says, “The salmon panag. 12

Served features numerous Benedict dishes including this corned beef hash Benedict, made with rye bread pudding!

It took a lot of work to source the ingredients for that. With the spicy panang curry and garlic fried rice, it’s one of my favorite creations.” So when you are in the mood for a meal that definitely takes Green Valley dining to a whole new level, you owe it to yourself to be Served. Served is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Visit ServedLV.com for more information.

ANDY HAFEN REFLECTS ON HIS TIME SERVING HENDERSON HENDERSON GREW TO SECOND-LARGEST CITY IN NEVADA DURING HAFEN'S TENURE ARTICLE DALTON PRIMEAUX | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED 16

Green Valley Lifestyle | September 2017

ormer Henderson, Nevada Mayor Andy A. Hafen takes some time to reflect on some

of his favorite memories serving Henderson, and discuss what makes the unique city one of the best in the country. “My family taught me about the value of public service and the importance of giving back to your community,” says Hafen as he reflects on his beginnings in elected office. “I was inspired to seek elected office by educators, religious leaders and the business community. I have called upon them during my time as mayor for guidance, and I still seek out their valuable advice.” The two-term mayor could not seek re-election—Debra March was elected and took office at the Henderson City Council meeting June 20—but leaves a long list of proud accomplishments behind him. Back in 2013, Andy Hafen was re-elected as the city of Henderson’s 12th mayor after serving on the Henderson City Council from 1987 to 2009. During his elected service, Hafen has seen Henderson become the second-largest city in Nevada, and be recognized as one of America's Best Places to Live and one of the top six Safest Cities in America.

While creating the bakery, Juanny says the goal was to minimize extra steps in the baking process. She wanted everything to be fresh and to leave the customers feeling satisfied after they ate it.

The District at Green Valley Ranch, an upscale mixed-use development adjacent to the east of Green Valley Ranch, houses a ton of great dining options for those who are seeking a guilt-free lunch, or a meal that is friendly to their food allergies or vegan and gluten-free lifestyles. Locals flock to this grand mix of shops and boutiques to add style to their wardrobe as well as to The Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health clubs, fitness centers, juice shops and restaurants in search of fun and exciting hot spots to add to their active lifestyle and fitness regimes.

LYFE offers a bright, modern dining area for those customers hoping to sit and unwind with friends or co-workers in a casual environment, but is also a great place for a quick bite—especially when you’re pressed for time. Often people feel, when they are in a time crunch, opting for a fast meal means sacrificing quality or health. At LYFE, meals are cooked from scratch in an open kitchen in less than 10 minutes. Remaining cutting-edge and on trend in the restaurant world, last year LYFE launched a new mobile app. The app allows guests to easily order their favorite items from their smartphone or device while on the go, while also earning rewards points. Additionally, the app makes it easy for guests to track and redeem those loyalty rewards points for free food and drink items, access special cooking tips, receive invitations to LYFE’s special events and browse ideas for entertaining guests. LYFE can easily be considered a pioneer in fastfine dining, and a perfect fit for the Green Valley Ranch area. It’s an elevated experience that caters to a healthy and active lifestyle, especially for those who are searching for alternatives to fast food. LYFE Kitchen is located in The District at Green Valley Ranch at 140 S. Green Valley Parkway in Henderson and is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
