I’m just showing off some foods I made. The recipes or variations of the recipes can be found here on www.TheFORKINGTruth.com
Up top is a tomato and assorted Italian Cheese Pizza
Made gnocchi a bit different. This was just leftover ziti filling and I just added flour till it felt like gnocchi dough. Came out perfect and delicious.
I made basic deviled eggs. But I slightly pickled the white in brine from pickled beets I made.
Brought this for a group.

WSKY Bar & Grill is an American 24/7 Gaming Bar & Restaurant with 4 locations in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer all day breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also offer daily specials, happy hour and reverse happy hour. They offer a mix of different seating options. Bar seating, high tops, booth seating traditional tables, and another dining room.
Big screen TVs are all around.
I tried The Asian Crunch Salad.
It’s suppose to contain – crispy or grilled chicken, cabbage, romaine, sweet chili cucumbers, crunchy ramen noodles, mandarine oranges, roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, cilantro, and sweet sesame dressing. To me the salad was OK but might have been better if it contained the missing peanuts, green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Without those things the dressing also ran slightly too sweet but might have tasted better with the missing items.
My husband enjoyed the Italian Grinder ( salami, ham, spicy capicola, provolone, lettuce, onion, banana pepper, garlic & red wine aioli, on a hoagie roll served hot or cold)
That was my lunch trip to WSKY Bar & Grill. Not Perfect but reasonably good.
Went back to try restaurant week dinner since it only was 3 courses for $30. (Restaurant Week has been extended to June 20th for this restaurant They were also offering a $20. three course lunch)
We started out with Buffalo Chicken Fries and Cheese Steak Fries.
Buffalo Chicken Fries
Cheese Steak Fries
Both were enormous plates of food and both were tasty. (We had enough leftovers here alone for MORE than another lunch)
My main was the salmon.
I wasn’t expecting high quality here but still it does taste like frozen fish from the supermarket. Smashed potatoes are good, Broccolini was over cooked and turned to mush.
Ribeye is very thin and cooked all the way and served with smashed potatoes and over cooked broccolini that turns to mush. Ribeye was edible but was more like something a neighbor or relative cooked than a going out to eat meal.
A brownie a la mode and cinnamon churros came for dessert.
It’s best to just stick with the casual food here.
The Ridge Bar & Grill is a Bar, Gaming, and 24/7 Restaurant located in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas Nevada. Inside is a big bar with big screen TVs.
Around the bar are many half booths.
We came to try the Restaurant Week $20. 3 Course Lunch.
We got way more food than we could eat and brought almost half of it home.
Deviled Eggs
Pretzel Bites with Cheese Sauce and Ridge Mustard
This seems like a double portion of fish and chips to me. It’s all good but the cole slaw might be the best I’ve tasted anywhere. Fresh made and crisp but it was the special vinegar that makes it pop….
My husband said that the smash burger was very good too.
One order of the churros got wrapped for latter. They came with a berry sauce and a caramel sauce.
Darn Good and Plentiful – Sure Worth Trying!
The $20 Restaurant Week got extended to June 20th but these dishes are all on their regular menu.
OhLaLa is a French Bistro and Bar in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas Nevada. They are offering three course lunches and also three course dinners for Restaurant Week. They have bar seating and traditional table seating.
It’s up to you on what you want to select –
Whatever you order they start you off with bread and butter.
The warm goat cheese with pistachios and onion jam is so scrumptious that it is impossible to resist.
It’s also a very generous portion and after both of us enjoying about three pieces of bread with it we enjoy taking the rest home for latter.
The French Onion soup is also unusually delicious.
It’s not the common beef broth…Here it is a well made REAL onion soup.
For dinner we had-
Sole with fingerling potatoes and a brown butter caper sauce
Flank Steak with fries and a red wine shallot sauce.
Desserts were –
lemon tart
Chocolate Liegois Ice cream (We should have just ate the ice cream and brought the tart home because this was all too generous of portion size for us)
Echo & Rig is a steakhouse with a butcher shop with two locations around Las Vegas. One location is in Henderson and the other is in Summerlin in Trivoli Village. For Restaurant Week they are offering a FOUR Course Lunch for $30. so we are going to give it a try. This restaurant extended the offer of Restaurant Week to June 20th. See the Restaurant Week Website for the other extensions.
To get to this dining area you either have to walk up the stairs or use the elevator.
It starts with the tomato, watermelon, and cucumber skewer.
2nd Course is either a Bibb salad or Lollipop kale salad.
Bibb salad
Lollipop kale salad
Then for your main you pick either the roasted chicken sandwich with house made chips (that did look really good) but since this is a steakhouse that makes ground in house burgers of chuck, short rib, and brisket that comes with Kennebec fries you will probably pick the burger and both of us did.
My husband enjoyed his with the addition of cheddar cheese (they will add American or cheddar at no additional cost).
Here’s mine.
It’s quite large (at least 8oz.) (I’m taking half home)
Today it tastes amazing. The most amazing burger I’ve tasted in Las Vegas so far but I do note that I had this burger three times and one time it did taste different but two times amazing.
For dessert it’s sorbet and fruit.
cantaloupe sorbet & fruit (not so great)
or
Carmel Turtle Sundae (better than cantaloupe)
Echo & Rig – The 4 Course Restaurant Week Lunch is very good and you have a possibility of tasting one of the best burgers that you can find in Las Vegas.This offer has been extended to June 20th.

One of the dining areas.
They started us off with delicious fresh baked breads, butter, and Peter Luger Steak Sauce.
My first course was a nicely made Caesar Salad.
My husband went with the sizzling bacon.
My main was a medium ground in house burger. 30%dry aged beef mixed with chuck with extra great fluffy fries.
Even half is a very generous portion.
My husband had his with cheese and it was prepared a perfect medium/rare.
Then we had sundaes with house made cream embellished with a Peter Luger Chocolate Cow, a cherry, some walnuts, and quality chocolate sauce.

Fun NEW Limited Edition Lay’s Potato Chip Flavors recently came out and two of them I had to try.
One is – Korean Style Fried Chicken (Wavy)
The Other is – Thai Style Red Curry
One taste FORKING AMAZING and the other is over seasoned powdery and weird.
Sadly the loser is Korean Style Fried Chicken.
It taste like mostly too much paprika, dry garlic, dry onion, and a sort of burnt chicken taste, maybe with other flavors. It doesn’t really taste like food. It tastes like seasoning mix that you’d add to something but with a burnt chicken kind of taste.
The “WINNER” by a long shot is clearly the Thai Style Red Curry. GOSH AND YUM! this one is delicious! Even the actual chips taste better and taste like potato chips that were dipped into actual Thai Red Curry.
My Garage Kitchen is a garage themed family owned restaurant located in North Las Vegas Nevada. They are open for American Style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Inside is mostly traditional table seating. They do have a small bar and an outside patio.
I tried the Grilled Salmon.
I requested medium but was served well done. The server did offer to remake the dish but I just ate it anyway. The mashed potatoes are a very generous portion but are more like a smashed potato and is a bit dry. The asparagus are unusually great. Nice and fresh crisp and seasoned unusually well and also are a bit spicy.
My husband tried the patty melt.
He said that the patty is also a bit over done but tastes ok with all the cheese and onions. He also said that the rye bread was very good and he liked the onion rings. The server also offered to remake this one too but we were about 1/3 finished already by that time and didn’t want to start over.
Very good if you like your food all well done.
I suspect that breakfast might be the sweet spot here.
