Dining Out With DOGS in Las Vegas NV – February 2026

Leave a reply

Dining out with dogs is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. Unfortunately poor old Louie came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that Louie probably only had three months to live but could possibly live up to six months. The one thing that Louie really enjoyed was going out to eat. So I took Louie out to eat as often as I could. Instead of the 3-6 months aloe made it another 17 months. Today I take current dogs out to eat when I can and when the weather is right.

The dogs recently got to go to the California Fish Grill.

WOW was it cold here and windy. We asked them to turn on one of the wall heaters for us. Nobody did so since it was to cold (62 and very windy) We took the food home as a to go. The dogs helped me eat my salmon from my Salmon Wasabi bowl.

They always enjoy the California Fish Grill.

Got lucky and the next week was warm so we went to The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. The dogs got to eat gyro meat, salmon, cucumbers with feta cheese, and chickpeas.

“The salmon is a little over cooked today.”

“I’ll eat it!’ “I’m hungry”

“The Chickpeas are good!”

“I can eat more!”

“We enjoy going to the Great Greek Mediterranean Grill!”

The Dogs also got to go to The Market Grill Cafe. Here they actually have a DOG MENU and they got their very own Beef & Rice and Chicken and Rice Bowls.

My Husband had the Chicken, Vegetable, and Shrimp Skewer Platter.

I Had the Pomegranate Chicken Salad.

I was slowly feeding the dogs their bowls but they also got some of the skewers too. My plate isn’t healthy for dogs so I gave them a little feta cheese too.

They enjoyed themselves at the Market Grill Cafe.

The following week we went back to Mo’Bettah’s. It’s a casual Hawaiian Plate Lunch Restaurant with two outside tables. This time I got a mini plate lunch with pulehu chicken, katsu chicken, brown rice, and vegetables.

The mini plate isn’t so mini and everything is reasonably good.

My husband got a full size plate lunch of kalua pig, pulehu chicken, macaroni salad, and brown rice.

Then the dogs got to help us with our large generous platters.

They also enjoyed everything they tried!

My Trip to the Newly Opened Marketon Supermarket – Las Vegas NV

Leave a reply

A Brand New Marketon Supermarket recently opened at 5831 W Craig Rd in Vegas. They offer your usual grocery store items and also Latino specialties that are hard to find.

Below is a bit of what I saw there. I saw lots of lard there.

I saw some things that I never have seen before.

I also saw these hard to find special peppers here fresh and not dried.

I saw different snacks here.

I thought produce was very expensive here. A smaller sized cauliflower was $5.99 today. Five pound bags of flour were also very expensive and were $8.00 today. But they also had specials to counter some of the higher prices like large grinders of pink sea salt for $1.99.

That was a peek of the new Marketon.

Asian Wok – FORKING BEST American/Chinese in NW Vegas – Las Vegas NV – WORTH A FORK!

Leave a reply

The Majority of American/Chinese Restaurants in North Las Vegas and North/West Las Vegas in general serve very sweet, very flat tasting Chinese Food. It is not even close to the American/Chinese foods that are served on the East Coast. I’ve been to nearly every American/Chinese Restaurant in North Las Vegas and nearly every American/Chinese Restaurant in North/West Las Vegas. As of this time Asian Work is the only American Chinese Restaurant that I will go to.

It’s not a fancy place. Part of the dining room is used for storage. Most people do take out here. But you can do your dining in if you like.

They start you off with crispy noodles and duck sauce. They will bring some mustard if you ask.

On a prior visit my husband enjoyed the pork egg rolls. The current menu has vegetable egg rolls.

Pork Egg Rolls (not on current menu)

One of my favorite dishes here is listed as Asian Wok Specials and it is the Ginger Scallion Flounder also called Steamed Fish Filet. Gosh it’s delicious. It also is a very large portion of food. I can’t eat it all unless I make two or three meals out of it.

Ginger Scallion Flounder

My other top favorite is the Szechuan Chicken.

This is DELICIOUS and spicy. It’s packed with flavors and isn’t sweet like what other places here serve. It tastes just like what you’d get back on the east coast.

Other dishes that we’ve tried are also very good.

Hot & Spicy with Chicken & Shrimp – No longer on the menu but they can still make it for you.

Black Pepper Beef

I still have a bunch of other dishes that I want to try but the Ginger Scallion Flounder and the Szechuan Chicken are so FORKING GOOD that I might not be able to?

Spiced Brown Sugar Custard Filled Squash with Maple Bourbon Walnuts Recipe

Leave a reply

This is a variation of a coconut custard filled squash I did.

Spiced Custard Filled Acorn Squash with Maple Bourbon Walnuts

It’s basically the same but instead of coconut milk I used evaporated milk and also changed the sugar to dark brown sugar in the custard and the nuts because I’ve discovered that dark brown sugar is much tastier.

Ingredients for around 8 or more servings

4 squash (acorn or something similar) cut in half and remove seeds

a few squirts olive oil

fresh ground sea salt

fresh ground black pepper

1-12oz size can of evaporated milk (for custard)

3 eggs beaten (for custard)

1 Tablespoon corn starch (for custard)

1 teaspoon ground ginger (for custard)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for custard)

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (for custard)

3/4 cup dark brown sugar (for custard) or a little more if you want sweeter

pinch sea salt (for custard)

2 cups walnuts (walnut topping)

4 Tablespoons unsalted butter – melted (walnut topping)

2 teaspoons Walkins Maple Bourbon Rub) (walnut topping)

2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar (walnut topping)

non stick spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

On sheet pans spray with olive oil and grind fresh sea salt and fresh black pepper.

Put the cut cleaned squashes cut side down on the sheet pan(s).

These stay in the oven for 30 minutes. While the squash are cooking make the custard filling. In a large bowl combine the evaporated milk, eggs, corn starch, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar.

The squash should be coming out of the oven soon. They need to cool enough so you can pull off any stems that stick out. Flip them over so you can fill them with custard. I found it easiest to sit the pans on the middle rack and then pour in the custard filling. Depending on the size of your squash they will take 45-60 minutes to cook the custard all the way.

Walnuts – Combine walnuts, butter, Walkins Maple Bourbon Rub, dark brown sugar and mix well. Spread this out on a non stick sprayed sheet pan. This goes on the top rack in your oven along with the custard filled squash for only 10 or up to 15 minutes..

Remember some of the custard filled squash will be ready before some of the others. You can tell by moving the rack and can see if the custard is set or still jiggles. Add walnuts to the top and enjoy either warm or chilled.

My Trip to WSKY Bar & Grill (720 E Cheyenne Ave) N. Las Vegas NV – Not the Best

Leave a reply

WSKY Bar & Grill is a 24/7 Restaurant, Bar, and Gaming type of place with several locations in Vegas. TWO LOCATIONS are in North Las Vegas and BOTH locations are on Cheyenne Avenue maybe just two miles apart from each other. The New 720 E Cheyenne Avenue location looks different than most 24/7 type places. The most striking feature here are the large glass windows on the front and back of building that leave in lots of natural daylight during the day. The other difference is that this new location has a slightly smaller but also different food menu. They offer the usual all day breakfast and a mostly American menu of foods.

Today I tried the mediterranean salad.

The hummus (right side of plate) is thick as cement and not the best but over-all it’s an OK salad. It came with tzatziki dressing. It’s suppose to come with pita chips but they didn’t make it to the plate. (I had this same problem with a different salad that I had at the other nearby WSKY location) anyways I’m the lucky one because my husband’s burger came out dryer than a Burger King Burger.

Between the dry beef patties were –

Burnt Black Onions.

Oh and I almost forgot. I tried one of the Tater Tots and they were so over salted I couldn’t eat them.

My Trip to Abel’s Bagels – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!

Leave a reply

Abel’s Bagels is a small Bagel Shop located in Las Vegas about 20 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip near The Durango Casino/Hotel.

We happened to be in the area so we each had a bagel sandwich.

I tried the Lox & Cream Cheese on an Everything Bagel with an onion slice and capers.

It’s a lot less garlicky than most everything bagels and a little softer but they were very generous with the cream cheese and my sandwich had a good amount of ACME brand lox in it that is very good

My husband tried the bagel sandwich special that they named, “The Katz” (Rye, Pumpernickel bagel, mustard, and Wild Fig BBQ Pastrami with added pepper jack cheese)

A little different but tasty.

How Ya Dough’n – Pizza is Worth a Fork! Las Vegas NV

Leave a reply

How Ya Dough’n Pizza in Vegas is located on the Las Vegas Strip in a Building on the 3rd Floor called The BLVD. The BLVD is located across the street from Eataly and just a short distance from M&M World. This is a small casual Pizza shop with an inside counter and outdoor patio tables to sit at. The pizza is really different here. They do a 8-12 day fermentation that creates a sourdough taste like no other. The pizzas we tried were thin and crisp with great really different flavors. Besides unique pizzas they offer three appetizers (wings, meatballs, doughboys ((dough balls tossed in parm.&butter with red sauce or vodka sauce for dipping) Soft beverages are offered here. You want to come here on a nice weather day. They have a small counter to sit at inside. Outside are many picnic type tables.

Here are the pizzas that were offered..

We ordered a Pistachio Pizza and the January Special called The Funion. (Mozz.,Havarti, roasted onion, leeks, chives, onion seeds)

While we waited for our order I watched one of the pizza guys throw a pizza crust in the air.

Soon we get pizzas.

Above is the Funion.

Above is the pistachio.

Both were very good but I thought the pistachio was more layered and popped more.

My husband felt different and enjoyed the Funion more.

Both were very good.

My FORKING Thoughts on Bakery Collection M&M’s

Leave a reply

The Bakery Collection of M&M’s Candy recently came out so I had to give them a try even though they ALL contain artificial flavoring.

Lemon Meringue Pie – I open the bag. they smell like lemon soda. When you eat them they have a strange texture and don’t feel like a M&M in your mouth. More of a candy coated cereal ball. They have a bright refreshing almost lemon taste and do taste a little bit white-chocolaty. Not terrible but have very little resemblance to an M&M.

Cherry Chocolate Cupcake – These smell like chocolate when you open the bag. They are the most successful flavor of the three. They do have an M&M’s chocolate taste embellished with a Cherry Soda type taste.

Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll – YUK! Worst of the bunch. They smell like peanut butter. It’s like they made peanut butter M&M’s and instead of adding cinnamon they added a chemical that doesn’t taste like cinnamon and is bitter with a chemical taste.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on the M&M’s Bakery Collection. I do note that YOUR Forking thoughts may indeed differ.

Amazing Thai – North Las Vegas NV – Hits and sort of Misses

Leave a reply

Amazing Thai is a casual Thai Restaurant that offers most of the Thai dishes that you would expect and also some Vegan alternative dishes.

From my first visit we both enjoyed the eggplant chip appetizer.

Haven’t tried this dish again until recently. The Eggplant Chips look a bit different but are still tasty and very good but they gave us a different sauce that is just sweet instead of the savory spicy sauce that we preferred.

Recently I tried the Caramel Salmon.

It’s sweet caramelized salmon. on a bed of lettuce. It only pops when you add the spicy flavorful sauce on the end of the plate. It comes with a double order of rice.

My husband tried the Spicy Basil with Beef.

The beef was hand chopped that creates more surface space to hold in flavor better (some places just slice the meat or just use ground Meat) Tonight this dish was very soy forward. It should be basil forward.

Some of the dishes we tried on past visits were –

Chicken with Spicy Eggplant – This was the biggest hit. That day the eggplant was absolute perfection in a very tasty sauce.

Drucken Noodles with Beef

We also did some take out.

Spicy Basil Chicken Rice

Salmon Panang – reasonably good.

A little Hit and Miss like most places. Also not the most consistent.
