Contestants in the 2009 Miss USA Pageant made a stop at the Las Vegas Buca di Beppo for a family-style menu of mozzarella caprese salad, apple gorgonzola salad, prosciutto stuffed mushrooms, lemon chicken, salmon with pesto, spaghetti marinara, broccoli with greens beans, tiramisu and gelato cones. Some of the beauty queens, including Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart, donned toques and worked in the kitchen with Corporate Chef Michael Miyahara.
