Chick and Benny's

Twin brothers originally from St. Louis, Michael and Mark Goldenberg opened their comfort-food-focused eatery to fulfill a shared dream to “make something different,” according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Their brainchild—Chick & Benny’s—thrives on the universal appeal of poultry and pastry, mingling Texas-style fried chicken with the light-and-fluffy beignets popular in France and New Orleans. The menu, like the best Lilliputian wedding cakes, is short and sweet, showcasing golden-fried chicken tenders that may show up solo or basking on a nest of homestyle g-fries dusted with garlic seasoning. When not busy serving customers beneath the hand-blown glass-pendant lamps that adorn their modern restaurant, Chick & Benny's owners spend their time giving back to the Las Vegas community by sponsoring Little League teams and awarding an annual scholarship to a high-achieving high-school senior.
