Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana

Settebello is one of a handful of pizzerias in the US, and the only one in Nevada, to hold a certification mark from the Verace Pizza Napoletana.

Thanksgiving 2008, and the Slow-Smoked Turkey

I didn’t have time to get a very good shot of the turkey before it got slaughtered, but hopefully you get the idea. We decided to order a slow-smoked turkey from Buzz BBQ this year. This, along with deep fried turkey, is now one of my favorites! We picked it up the day before, and [...]

Casa Don Juan

We decided to try Casa Don Juan after seeing it was mentioned in the 2009 Michelin Guide, and remembering that I had an Entertainment coupon for it!

Favorite Things: Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels

Another deadly holiday item. Seriously, unless I want to gain 100 pounds over the holidays, I think I should just stay away from Trader Joe’s at the end of the year. But these are SO good! In case I haven’t mentioned it a million times already, I LOVE chocolate with salt, or nearly any combination [...]

Favorite Things: Candy Cane Joe Joe’s

The holidays can be a pretty dangerous time of the year for me. For example, in mid-November, Trader Joe’s puts out their “Candy Cane Joe Joe’s”. These are essentially Oreos with peppermint, but I think because they are seasonal, they are super fresh.. and super addicting! The other night we were catching up on some [...]

Bob Taylor’s Ranch House

Bob’s Ranch House is one of our favorite steak houses. It’s extremely old school, located on a charming ranch quite near where we live. Every time we drive up the dirt road leading to the restaurant, I feel like we’re being transported back in time. The Ranch House has been in operation since 1955.

Northside Nathan’s

It’s square pizza! Well, technically Northside Nathan’s is Detroit style deep dish. In any case, it’s really, really good! I usually prefer a very thin crust, New York style pizza, but this is an exception.

Chocolate reviews

I think I’m one step shy of being a full-blown chocoholic. Good chocolate to me is such a treat! Here are some of the chocolate bars I’ve had recently. This review is highly likely to be an ongoing post..

Is smaller better in the restaurant world?

Maybe it sounds like a stupid question. When I was younger, my vision of a really nice, expensive restaurant was in a somewhat palatial setting.. i.e. it was big. During dinner at Daniel Boulud the other night, Adam and I got to discussing some of our favorite restaurants here in Vegas, and why some other [...]
