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.
