Marshall Roth: Gambling on a new career

• Chef Marshall Roth — here in his short-lived food truck — is thrilled with his new job.

The last time Fat City wrote about chef and hot-dog entrepreneur Marshall Roth, he had closed his downtown frankfurter bistro, Dog Nuvo, and was looking for employment. Five weeks later, Roth is back in the kitchen. A state-of-the-art kitchen, he says.

“It’s the most incredible kitchen I’ve ever seen,” says Roth, who officially joined the culinary staff of the yet-unopened Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway this week. Marshall will be working as the room chef of the casino property’s upscale steakhouse, the Final Cut Steakhouse.

“I’m really excited to be back doing what I love, fine dining,” Roth says. “And I’ve never worked in a casino before. That’s one of the things that really appeals to me.”
