Stubborn Seed: Where Relentless Precision Meets Culinary Artistry
In the excitement of Resorts World Las Vegas, Stubborn Seed is redefining fine dining under the fierce vision of Chef Jeremy Ford. With a culinary philosophy rooted in “an unapologetic approach” and “rigid and persistent execution,” the restaurant’s success is no accident—it’s the product of relentless focus, artistic boldness, and a deep respect for ingredients.
“We always start with seasonality and sourcing great products,” says Chef Jeremy. “Then, we let the dish form around that using fun, unconventional techniques.”
This commitment to quality and spontaneity has made Stubborn Seed a destination for food lovers seeking the unexpected. Every plate is a masterclass in contrast—methodical technique infused with wild creativity.
Chef Jeremy’s resume includes a Top Chef win and multiple James Beard Award nominations, but he’s quick to highlight the collective spirit behind the accolades.
“
It gives us the opportunity to celebrate the hard work that’s put in, day in and day out,” he shares. “To see our efforts recognized on national platforms is huge for everyone’s morale—even through the toughest times.”
That recognition peaked when Stubborn Seed earned a Michelin Star in Florida’s inaugural guide. For Chef Jeremy, it was more than a milestone—it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
“Since I was 17, working in Michelin-caliber restaurants, earning that star has been a goal I had to achieve before I died,” he reflects. “It makes all the sacrifices—birthdays, holidays, time with family—completely worth it.”
With each perfectly executed dish, Stubborn Seed proves that excellence isn’t accidental—it’s stubbornly earned.
