Vegas Musings

Food adventures in Las Vegas and Los Angeles

Ay-Chung Noodles

This is one of two Taiwanese restaurants I’ve been to here in Vegas. I’d heard the noodles here were good, and being the noodle lover that I am, I was pretty optimistic! The thin noodles that I wanted to try, much to my misfortune, all were served with “chitterlings”. Yes, they’re exactly what they sound [...]

Camacho’s

We haven’t had a ton of luck with Mexican restaurants inside of Casinos here in Vegas. Cabo’s is decent, but certainly not as good as some of the off strip places. After having a good experience at the Italian eatery in the Aliante Station, Pip’s Cucina, we decided to give Camacho’s a try. While the [...]

Bakery Review: Payard Patisserie

It seems like forever since I’d been to a high end bakery, so at a recent outing to Caesar’s Palace, I forced myself to stop at Payard Patisserie. Life is sure tough sometimes! Although they have a variety of offerings (sandwiches, crepes, ice cream, coffees) it was the pastries I wanted to try. They had [...]

Metro Pizza

So this weekend I took some more ‘practice’ shots that I thought I’d use to update my Metro Pizza post, which must have been pretty old by now. Then I discovered I’d never done a Metro Pizza post. !!! Metro Pizza is one of the restaurants we get to around once a month, mainly because [...]

Buzz BBQ (original post 11/2/08)

While I’ve never been a huge fan of barbecue, I do love good brisket and sausage. Shortly after moving to Vegas we received a coupon in the mail for Buzz BBQ, a then new bbq place by our house, so we decided to give it a try. Gotta love coupons! Buzz is the kind of [...]

Deli Den

A great deli in the NW? I didn’t know it existed until recently. Actually, I’ve driven by Deli Den many times, but for one reason or another hadn’t gotten around to trying it until recently. I had a hard time deciding between the corned beef (my favorite deli sandwich) and the pastrami, so I asked [...]

Mother’s Korean Grill

Okay, it’s summer, and it’s HOT here in Vegas! Although I’ve still been eating plenty of hot noodles, this past week I’ve really been craving cold noodles. I’m practically living on Japanese soba for lunch, so for dinner one night I decided we should get Korean food instead. And I knew exactly what I was [...]

Roy’s

I can’t remember the last time I went to Roy’s. In fact, I can’t even remember what location I went to! But I know I did go to one years ago. In any case, after seeing Roy on Top Chef Masters, and getting a coupon in the mail, we decided to go to the Summerlin [...]

Montesano’s Eateria

I think Montesano’s was actually the first restaurant we went to after moving to Vegas a few years back. And every time since, we’ve ordered pretty much the same thing. The 5 cheese pizza, and a salad. We were heartbroken when the location near us, on Decatur, shut down. Then we found that all of [...]

Valley Cheese & Wine

Since we were out in Henderson, which is kind of rare for us, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to check out Valley Cheese & Wine. I’ve been hearing great things about this shop for awhile now.. but being lazy, hadn’t had the energy to drive to the other side of town to check [...]
