Eggs

Hard to find eggs at reasonable prices

On the other hand

Easy to find at high prices

Ringo Starr admits that he has never eaten pizza in his life…….

He has plenty of dough so we can’t feel too sorry for him……He can certainly pay someone that can make a pizza that he can eat.

Someone Jewish invented Beano and Lactaid. The only thing anyone can say is Oy Vey.

That was Food News. An occasional posting if something interesting is going on.

According to something I read on Facebook Nusr-Et Steakhouse on the Las Vegas Strip suddenly closed this week. Doors were locked and the help showed up to locked doors. This restaurant is by Turkish Chef, Butcher, and some sort of Internet SUPER STAR Nusret Gokce.

This restaurant offered steaks for up to $1,500.00 on the Lunch Menu.

I was here for a reasonably priced ($39.00) three course lunch.

The Las Vegas Review Journal wrote that they are expected to re-open in a new location…………….(maybe they will?)

And –

Best Dish I had out of the week was the Winter Squash from The Pepper Club.

Winter Squash with Brown Butter, Sage, Pomegranate Molasses, and Gorgonzola Dolce was full of flavors and was delicious!

That was some FORKING Las Vegas Food News.

I recently read a local article stating the authors favorite salads in Las Vegas. I don’t think they’ve tasted what I’ve tasted and here is my take on best salads from what I’ve tried so far.

A really great salad that is really near the top is the Smoked Salmon Salad from Yoshiya Kitchen.

House smoked salmon, greens, edamame, onion, seaweed, tomato, rice, yuzu sesame dressing

The Caesar salad from Ferraro’s Ristorante

Romaine, REAL anchovy dressing, parmesan, toasted crumbs, black pepper (I once worked in a fine dining restaurant and made Caesar Salads Table-side so I really do know how a Caesar should taste) This Caesar I have to rate as #1 for Caesar.

For another traditional Caesar. The one from Rang’s Cocina Moderne is also one of the best.

This salad is very good and very close to Ferraro’s Ristorante’s Caesar. It’s just slightly a thinner dressing and is slightly light with black pepper for a Caesar Salad but still is very good and up there above nearly all the Caesars I tried..

The other Caesar that needs to be mentioned is the NON-TRADITIONAL Caesar from Soulbelly BBQ.

This one is very unique and DECONSTRUCTED. If you taste a green by its self flavors are missing……..Then there are these SURPRISE and amazing cornbread croutons that contain all the missing flavors from the dressing and the salad POPS! (I added the very good BBQ turkey to make this salad a complete meal)

Below is the cucumber salad from Din Tai Fung.

It’s the best Asian Cucumber Salad that I have ever tasted.

The Insalata Nizzarda from Matteo’s (in the Venetian Hotel/Casino)

Confit Tuna, Greens, Green Beans, Potatoes, Olives, capers, anchovies, sweet tomatoes.

The Salad from Namu Korean Tapas and BBQ was amazing.

It was this scrumptious mix of sweet, cheesy, lettuce, tomatoes, nuts, and their spectacular house made ricotta cheese. It was super delicious!

One of the most exciting salads was the Sandiada Salad from Aroma Latin American Cocina.

Watermelon, soft greens, jicama, cashews, …….just magical…TOMATOES NIXTAMALAS and Chamoy Vin. I’m speechless. Really delicious and I never had anything like this before.
