Newly Opened HAYWORTH – Possibly the MOST UNIQUE Restaurant near Las Vegas NV – Henderson NV – With a Fork!

Leave a reply

Have you ever been to a steak house that offers elevated delicatessen? Hayworth recently opened in Henderson Nevada. It’s by chef Alex Resnik who was a Bravo Top Chef Contestant and also did some Food Network TV shows and actually beat chef Bobby Flay on the Beat Bobby Flay TV Show.

Hayworth is a steak house that offers prime steaks cooked on live fire and also offers many delicatessen items. Some of the delicatessen offers are challah with schmaltz, a delicatessen platter, smoked whitefish, salmon lake, beef tongue agnolotti, potato kugel, sablefish, and 24 hour WAGYU PASTRAMI.

It’s nice and rich looking inside.

They have traditional tables, 1/2 booths, bar seating, and it looks like an outdoor patio is in the works.

We started out by sharing a romaine salad that is described as Caesar-ish.

It’s different but good. It some sort of artsy chef-ee creation.

We also shared the lox and latke.

For my taste it could use more cream cheese (Temptee) but is good.

The Sablefish entree was really FORKING Amazing.

This mild whitefish was so darn perfect it just melted in the mouth. It was in a very unusual unique tahini, apple, honey, beurre blanc sauce with parsnips and embellished with trout roe and sea beans. This plate really was amazing.

The 24 hour Wagyu Pastrami was also very good.

The Pastrami was tender and flavored well. We liked the beets. Brussels Sprouts were slightly hard.

Then we had to try the chocolate babka.

It tastes how it looks. Chocolaty with pistachio embellished cream on the sauce in chocolate sauce.

I have to say Hayworth is Worth a Fork!

SMKD BBQ – Henderson NV – Bravo Top Chef Restaurant – Worth a Fork!

Leave a reply

SMKD BBQ is a casual but very good BBQ Restaurant located in Henderson Nevada that is about a thirty minute ride from Las Vegas. This restaurant is by Bravo Top Chef Alex Resnick. (He’s the one in the red shirt in the picture below)

Back to the food.

We shared a four meat plate that comes with four sides. We tried brisket, mojo garlic bbq chicken, pastrami, and smoked salmon. For the sides we tried macaroni and cheese, sweet potato hush puppies, beets and carrots, and this super amazing kugel.

It all good but some of it is FORKING AMAZING!!!!!

The Mojo Garlic BBQ Chicken might be the best chicken I have ever tried anywhere. It so tender, so juicy, and so deliciously flavorful.

The Smoked Salmon is also really great. It’s that type of salmon that is seasoned and smoked just so with that certain – Melt in your mouth type of quality.

The real surprise was the Kugel. Who knew that something like kugel could be amazing.

But everything was good.

For my taste the brisket was a bit delicate with seasoning and smoke. But did taste much better with a little SMKD BBQ sauce.

Same with the pastrami. Good but maybe a little under-cured and was lightly smoked but still good.

The Macaroni and Cheese was better than what you get in most BBQ Places and so was the Beets and Carrots, and the tasty Sweet Potato Hush Puppies.

Went back a couple weeks later for a holiday special that we took out. Chef Resnick was also at work cooking that day.

Here is the take out special ordered for four people.

I am pleased to say that everything was good and delicious.

My Trip to Fisher’s Deli – Henderson Nevada

Leave a reply

Fisher’s Deli is a small but busy Jewish Style Deli in Henderson Nevada (Around 30 minutes from Las Vegas). Off to the side of the dining area you can buy fresh baked goods and deli items.

They also offer some specials.

Today it was a 15 minute wait for a table.

I tried a whitefish platter today.

They ran it out before the cream cheese and onions were suppose to be added. I don’t know but think they gave me the wrong white fish. Usually you get a piece of fish not all these ends. It also doesn’t taste as fresh as I like. This is not a good example of a white fish plate.

The pastrami here is better than the whitefish. Also the potato salad lacks seasoning but is better than the cole slaw.

We also shared a knish. It tastes right but the crust is rubbery.

That was my Trip to Fisher’s Deli.

A Taste of Lunch at Boom Bang Fine Food & Cocktails – Henderson NV

Leave a reply

Boom Bang Fine Food & Cocktails is an American Brasserie by former Top Chef and Joël Robuchon Chef Elia Aboumrad -Page and Husband, staff and others. If the chef or restaurant sounds familiar to you then perhaps you saw the chef on Food Network’s “24 in 24 Las Chef Standing” That is currently going on at Food Network.

The restaurant is stylish inside. There’s a reflective ceiling, cactus wallpaper adorns the walls. The tables are set with wine glasses and starter plates.

To one side is sort of breakfast counter.

To the other side is a traditional looking bar.

It looked so good when we walked in that we had to try the star bread (marinara, cheese, pesto, rosemary).

It’s a richer, softer, braided type of bread.

We also tried the buffalo cauliflower with C’s Rojo sauce.

Tasty….Not too hot…and Rich Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing on the side.

For my main I tried what they call Steak Fritas with salad or fries (I picked salad).

It’s a good sized portion. Most of the steak is tender….Only a few pieces on the ends I can’t chew. The salad is fresh and has a very good but plain dressing on it.

My husband got the French Dip.

The house made bread is outstanding…….It’s like eating bread in Philadelphia……….The meat is also a generous portion with good flavor that is tender. It also has some delicious caramelized onions……..but it needs a lot of the au jus to be moist. It also comes with horseradish cream, fries, and ketchup.

We also shared the lemon meringue tart.

The lemon curd is amazing but loose. The Italian meringue is good but loose like the filling. The crust is hard and substantial.

That was a taste of lunch at –

Aroma Latin American Cocina Henderson NV – WORTH A FORK! – EXCEPTIONAL Hidden Gem!

1 Reply

Aroma Latin American Cocina is a small full service Modern Latin American Restaurant located in Henderson Nevada that is not far from some parts of Las Vegas. This is NOT A FANCY PLACE but does serve a mix of familiar cuisine mixed with something amazing and unexpected. Soft beverages, some Spanish beverages, and limited alcohol is served here.

Some of the appetizers might be things like watermelon salads, guacamole, Peruvian Ceviche, and beef empanadas. A few of the mains are things like enchiladas, short ribs, and pork chops…..They sound familiar but you probably never had them quite like this before.

We started out with the watermelon salad called Sandiada Salad.

This was PACKED with all kinds of surprises. The greens are dressed with chamoy vinaigrette. There’s spiced cashews, watermelon balls, grapes, and these FORKING MAGICAL tomatoes nixtamal………..(it’s that process that you do to corn that makes corn taste like a taco shell but on tomatoes it does something deliciously different!!!!!!!! and truly amazing!)

This was a salad like no other.

We also shared one of the most incredible Ceviches that I have ever tried. Here’s the Peruvian Ceviche.

This was made with sweet potato, corn nuts cancha, leche de Tigre, cilantro, and yellowtail…….You can’t see it but under the green leaf were these unusually delicious pepper rings…..(that might have been Fresnos?…..They had something done to them that made them extra special. Everything was just delicious together and the fish seemed fresh as can be.

Everything was so top notch……But we were blown away yet again with the Gaucho Sandwich.

This was even way more amazing than it looks…….The grilled piachna (Latin Cut beef) was off the charts melt-in-your-mouth tender and also darn so flavorful…It truly was amazing. It also was embellished with chimichurri, house dressing, lettuce, tomatoes, caramelized onions and was served on a hoagie roll with Chimi Baby Dutch Fried potatoes on the side. This was one of the most spectacular sandwiches ever!

It was such a home run that we had to try one of the desserts and tried the White Chocolate Roasted Corn with Popcorn Cream and Chicha Morada.

It was different with interesting flavors and textures. It was like it came from the finest restaurant.
