Renowned author Lee Child hosts an open forum on Saturday, May 30th, addressing the Jack Reacher series and his latest novel, Gone Tomorrow
Mohegan Sun’s “Winning Authors” series is proud to present New York Times best-selling author Lee Child. The internationally-recognized author will host a live discussion on Saturday, May 30th in The Cabaret Theatre at 3:00pm to be followed by a book signing in the Spring Gateway in The Shops concourse at 4:00pm.
Lee Child is well known for his in-depth development of characters and thrilling storylines. Foreign rights in the Jack Reacher series have been sold in forty territories, and have won both the Anthony and Barry Awards for “Best First Mystery” and the “Nero” Award. All titles have been optioned for major motion pictures. Child’s appearance in Mohegan Sun’s “Winning Authors” series joins the elite class of authors including Sue Grafton, Nora Roberts, Robin Cook and Catherine Coulter.
His appearance will take place eleven days after the release of his thirteenth Jack Reacher thriller, Gone Tomorrow. After five consecutive New York Times hardcover best-sellers and more than 22 million copies of his books sold worldwide, Lee Child promises to deliver one of his most eagerly-anticipated novels to date with Gone Tomorrow.
Hailed by the New York Times as the, “Best thriller writer of the moment,” Child brings his centerpiece character Jack Reacher back into the fold with a modern thriller to remember. Gone Tomorrow opens with Reacher riding the New York subway late at night only to recognize that the woman standing across from him displays all the signs tagging her as a suicide bomber. From the pulsating introduction to the climatic conclusion, Reacher plunges into the depths of a conspiracy concealed since the start of the Soviet-Afghan War—one that, if unchecked, will have deadly consequences for today’s war on terrorism.
As part of the “Winning Authors” event, a collaboration between Mohegan Sun and Spin Street, Child will host a forum at Mohegan Sun’s Cabaret Theatre. Included will be a question and answer session at 3:00pm where guests can ask Child questions about his books and career. A book signing of Gone Tomorrow will then follow in the Spring Gateway at 4:00pm in The Shops at Mohegan Sun concourse. Both events are free and open to the public. Gone Tomorrow is on sale and will be available for purchase at Spin Street beginning Tuesday, May 19th, and leading up to the day of the event.

National Burger Month is here and Mohegan Sun brings tips on how to cook that perfect burger and where to go if you can’t
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 2, 2009) – Mohegan Sun is a great place to enjoy various foods and great dining experiences, and one thing we’re certainly not short on is burgers. May is National Burger Month and Mohegan Sun is dishing out some valuable tips on how to cook the perfect burger from Executive Chef, Michael Luboff. Still rather have someone else do the cooking for you? Find out where you can enjoy thirty-one different burgers for each day of May under one roof at Mohegan Sun.
Chef Luboff’s Five Tips For Cooking A Great Burger:
1. Choose the right meat: The meat is the most essential ingredient and should be fresh ground chuck with an 80/20 blend, well-seasoned with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and a little Sacramento tomato juice.
2. Don’t ignore the bread: Ideally you want a soft potato roll, sesame seeded if you prefer, but nothing too crazy or seasoned. It is also a good idea to lightly toast each side of the roll.
3. Make it great with toppings: What’s a burger without cheese? A thick slice of American or cheddar cheese will do fine here, accompanied by crisp bacon, Heinz ketchup, crisp iceberg lettuce and a slice of beefsteak tomato to top it off.
4. Use equipment like the pros: It’s important to try and cook your burgers on a hot flat iron surface or griddle and avoid cooking over open flames. Pressing the burger is also a big no-no as doing so will run out all the juices and flavor.
5. Take your temperature: Hopefully a little red doesn’t scare you, because burgers are best eaten at medium. And don’t forget to wear a bib.
Prefer to stay out of the kitchen? Here’s what Mohegan Sun’s exceptional restaurants have to offer the world of burgers.
