Best Restaurant of the week is James Beard Nominated for Best Chef – Calabash African Kitchen. We shared Fataya Pies (vegetarian Empanadas), Red Snapper Platter, and their Famous Jollof Rice. All was delicious and this really was the best African Style food I ever tried anywhere.
Also enjoyed a hidden Gem – Cured & Whey. It’s a small deli, cheese, and wine shop in an industrial park that’s a short ride from Mandalay Bay. We didn’t try any wine but I can say that the sandwiches and the cheeses are unusually good!
In other Food News –
I’m so FORKING tired of the cart problem at my local Smith’s. The woman next to me was very angry. I was afraid she might crack and go berserk because she said that she couldn’t shop without a cart. She was screaming and waving her arms in the air. I was afraid something was going to happen that you’d see on the news.
