Bosa 1

Bosa 1 is probably one of only a handful of Vietnamese restaurants here in Las Vegas that doesn’t have pho on the menu. -Gasp!- They do have some bun noodle dishes, though. Their specialties seem to be their spring rolls and broken rice dishes. The waitress recommended the Nem Nuong Cuon, which are essentially spring [...]

McMullan’s Irish Pub

While we haven’t been to very many pubs here in town, so far the Crown and Anchor has been our favorite. I know, I know, C & A is British, and this one is Irish, so I shouldn’t compare them… This place is right across the street from the Orlean’s Hotel on Tropicana. To get [...]

Weekend trip to LA, 07/09

Another 3 days in Los Angeles, another few destination restaurants! Topping my list this time was a new restaurant, Ramen California in Torrance. This place is quite different than any other Ramen-Ya I’ve been to, in that they actually break from tradition (gasp!) Typically, ramen is served in one of four broths; Shoyu (soy sauce), [...]

Memphis Championship BBQ

One of the first BBQ places we went to when we moved to Vegas several years ago was Buzz BBQ. It was close, and we had a coupon. Now, I’m not sure why we even bother trying other BBQ places! I guess there’s a part of me that thinks… ‘maybe there will be one that’ll [...]

Origin India

First of all, let me apologize for the quality of these photos. Like an idiot, I completely forgot to recharge my camera before dinner, so these photos were taken in an obviously dark restaurant with my iphone! This will be rectified soon, as I will force myself to return to Origin India just to get [...]

Food Inc.

Food Inc. is now playing at the Regal Village Square theater in Las Vegas. Some of it is difficult to watch, but I feel it’s an important film that’s quite well done, and I highly recommend it. I’ve been reading the “Food Inc.” companion book since last month, but am a bit more motivated to [...]

Pho Huong Saigon

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a new Pho review, hasn’t it? Okay, so it’s the middle of summer, and most people don’t think about eating hot soup when it’s 115 degrees outside. But I’m not most people! Maybe it’s the Asian in me that makes me sometimes actually WANT things like ramen and pho [...]

BLT Burger (1st ever dual review!)

Introducing my husband Adam, making his first ever guest/dual review on Vegasmusings! Here’s our reviews of BLT Burger: Kristi: As part of our “Gourmet Burger” crawl, we went to BLT Burger in the Mirage last month. After having a sample burger at Vegas Uncork’d a couple of months ago, my hopes were quite high, as [...]

Musashi

For a friend’s birthday dinner, a group of us met at Musashi Steakhouse. I’d never been there, but had heard good things about it and was excited to try it. I had high hopes that it would be better than Benihana, which I hadn’t been to in years and didn’t much enjoy at my last [...]

Farm fresh finds in Vegas (updated)

While we are at a disadvantage here in Vegas by living in a desert, and therefore having a distinct lack of farmland, there are still a few gems available for truly ‘fresh’ food items:
