Mix Zone Cafe

We visited the Mix Zone Cafe, a Thai restaurant, for lunch the other day. The lunch special is quite a good deal at under $7. For that you get your choice of entree, fried or steamed rice, salad (with some orders) and a soft drink. It also happens to conveniently be located right between my [...]

Las Vegas Cupcake Reviews

It’s been tough, but I’m making every effort to try all of the Cupcake shops here in Vegas. Hard work, indeed… Okay, so the truth of the matter is that I LOVE cupcakes! When we first moved here there were NO cupcake shops. Coming from Sprinkles-land in LA, that was hard to take! Eventually the [...]

Mr. Tofu

I’m starting to think Tofu Soup might be the most perfect winter meal. With the tofu, it’s packed full of protein, and is seasoned with plenty of healthy garlic, chili, and onions. It’s warm and soothing. And the banchans that typically come with it are usually in the form of veggies, seafood or soy. The [...]

Create

I’d been meaning to try this place since it opened, and finally did… on the worst possible day, of course.

Bakery Review: Lenôtre

Earlier this month, I read that Gaston Lenôtre had passed away at the age of 88. I didn’t initally know who he was, but upon reading further I found out he was widely renowned as one of the best French Pastry Chefs, if not the very best. He reportedly revolutionized the pastry world. In the [...]

Australia

It’s been almost 9 months since we took our trip to Australia, and I’m just now getting to organizing the pictures and putting them in a post. Maybe the cold, rainy weather in Vegas today made me long to be back there! Anyway, for what it’s worth, here’s a few pictures from our trip: We [...]

Are butchers a dying breed?

After watching an episode of “The F Word” and the movie “The Delicatessen” last week (sorry for the strange reference, for those that have seen this movie!) I got to thinking about butcher shops. Gordon Ramsay had a segment on his show, pondering if butchers were a dying profession. He went out to the streets, [...]

Lindo Michoacan

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Lindo Michoacan in our neighborhood. There are two other locations in Vegas, but both are a bit of a drive, and yes, I hate driving! This weekend, 5 days after they opened, we went for lunch. The restaurant sits on the location that Vallarta’s abandoned over a year [...]

Lotus of Siam

Probably Las Vegas’ most famous Asian restaurant, LOS definitely does not disappoint! After being named the best Thai restaurant in North America by Gourmet Magazine several years ago, it seems like anytime I read an article or blog about Vegas dining, this restaurant is mentioned. At the risk of repeating what hundreds of others have [...]

Ping Pang Pong

No, I don’t understand the deal with the weird name. But who cares? This place has some of the best Chinese food in Vegas! Just about everything we’ve tried here has been spot on.
