Sierra Gold – Aliante – N Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try

Sierra Gold is a 24/7 gaming, bar, and restaurant type place with 5 locations in Vegas. Sierra Gold is part of the PT family of gaming bar restaurants. The Aliante North Las Vegas Location is mostly all hightop tables inside and there are PLENTY of them (around the bar, two separate dining areas and a private dining area.. We did manage to find one normal traditional table so I wouldn’t recommend any handicapped people to dine here.

Inside is the usual bar with the big screen TVs and games.

The menu is basically an American Menu that also includes breakfast dishes.

We came here because I wanted a salad for lunch and they have FIVE salads on their menu.

I tried an Asian Chopped Salad. (Napa Cabbage, red cabbage, chicken, carrots, Fresno chilies, cucumber, wonton strips, almonds, soy-ginger dressing)

Not bad It’s A-OK my only problem here is that the Fresno Chilies are abnormally hot and way too hot for a salad but I note that usually Fresno Chilies are usually only mildly hot.

My husband tried the Grilled Italian Sandwich (salami, capicola, provolone, onion, pepperoncini, vinaigrette) He was going to order a burger but they won’t give him a medium-rare burger here because they only cook burgers medium-well.

He said it was A-OK…..not the best but A-OK He did enjoy the nicely seasoned curley fries.

Worth a Try!

Able Baker Bomb Shelter Craft Beer & Food Centennial Las Vegas NV – Newly Opened!

In case you are interested – Able and Baker are code names of the first two atomic bombs that were dropped on the Nevada Test Site during WWII.

Well now we have a new Able Baker Bomb Shelter that offers craft beers and craft foods. They offer a good sized bar and bar area, a separate dining area, and two outdoor patios.

I got the impression that they are still working things out on the menu because the crispy cauliflower was changed since the menu was printed.

After trying it this is the one dish they might still have to work on. It’s too soft and too bland.But don’t worry all the other food we tried was great!

It’s a salad called strawberry fields with added salmon. The salmon is really good today. It’s a nice big piece that is seasoned well. it’s moist, it’s juicy, it has a medium center. The salad is soft greens with goat cheese, strawberries, and walnuts with a vinaigrette dressing. It’s good but a bit too heavy with the dressing.

My husband tried the pork belly dip sandwich with fries.

He said that it was delicious and very good. Only peeves – Most of the meat was only on 1/2 the sandwich and the other peeve is that they were a bit too light with the caramelized onions.

Below are all the caramelized onions he got.

I packed up 1/2 my salad so I would have room to try some dessert.

It’s called a brioche cinnamon roll and it’s topped with ube gelato. It’s very light and delicate except for the gelato that is very hard. It’s good but very delicate in texture and flavors.

The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week

One of the Tastiest Bites was the new rosemary focaccia bread with heritage butters. The bread was delicious but it was the unique spectacular creamy butters that were extra special. They gave us Spanish butter, Italian butter, and Filipino butter. They were all good and interesting but the Spanish butter was CRAZY Great! My husband enjoyed the meltingly tender Bistek (Prime NY) in a soy citrus gravy. I enjoyed the fish Florentine (cod) below are pictures from several visits.

Fish Tacos from La Casa de Juliette were AMAZING and Delicious and really big too.

But on the other hand their wings and brisket enchiladas all do taste good but were all over cooked or re-heated and were dry and chewy.

My local Smith’s is still so filthy.

And they SUNK TO A NEW LOW>

They are trying to sell used food. LOOK at that box.

Recipe Idea – Mac-N-Cheese Egg Rolls

I do not have a recipe published for macaroni and cheese because I always make it slightly different depending on what cheese I have around the house. But I usually try to make it with lots of aged cheddar, better American cheese, some parmesan. I also use non fat milk, some butter, corn starch, paprika, white pepper, black pepper and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.

If I’m stuffing the macaroni and cheese into egg roll wrappers then I get a pot of oil getting hot on the stove. I start on high and eventually turn down to medium after it seems very hot.

Then I pull out an egg roll wrapper and brush the ends lightly with water and put a pile of macaroni and cheese in the middle.

Then roll it up.

Then I fry until they look done.

Everyone likes them.

Go make some.

ENJOY!!!!

My Trip to Mountain Mike’s Pizza North Las Vegas NV – BLECH!

Mountain Mikes is a national chain of casual pizza with salad bar restaurants. They’ve been in business for over forty years and have well over two hundred locations.

It’s casual. You order and pay at the counter. You grab your own drink and silverware and seat yourself.

We decided to try the lunch buffet.

Below is the salad bar.

Below are the pizzas

I start with a salad.

Some things don’t seem that fresh and the beets do taste like a can.

These were the only meatless selections.

Ick

The crust is dense and heavy. The cheese is like rubber mixed with saw dust in your mouth and there is no sauce.

Later I found out that they only put out garlic bread. Some with very HOT jalapeños (YUK!) and some without jalapeños.

My husband got dried up sausage on his pizza.

A Horror Movie was playing in the dining room that mirrored the food.

This food is so horrible that it can make you scream!

Then when we left I noticed how filthy it was by the front door.

That was our trip to Mountain Mike’s Pizza.
