Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo Talk Excellence at Complex List[ed] Las Vegas

The Lexus culinary masters shed light on their partnership, keeping standards high, and feeding the culture.

ComplexCon Weekend started off with a massive celebration of the culture this year. On Friday, October 24, the night before the event officially started, Complex hosted its List[ed] party at Zaytinya in Caesars Palace. The star-studded affair built on the momentum created by the Complex List[ed]: 50 Innovators Shaping Complex Culture in 2025 article, which mapped out the top innovators in our ecosystem.

Lexus Culinary Masters Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo created uni crispy rice and a ratatouille bruschetta toast hors d'œuvres for the List[ed] party, feeding list members and attendees, including Nigel Sylvester, Keith Lee, Dearica Hamby, Angelo Baque, and Jae Tips. Overall, it was a marquee moment for the Lexus Culinary Masters program, in which Lexus supports world-class chefs through curated experiences that celebrate the shared values of craft and luxury.
