		<description><![CDATA[Fukuburger is one of the best of the few food trucks in Las Vegas. But for their first restaurant without wheels, they teamed with Harry Morton to open in Hollywood. My report ran in the Las Vegas Weekly, but I couldn&#8217;t resist posting all my food porn from the tasting, too&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Some things in Las Vegas have a way of hiding in plain sight. Aureole Wine Lounge is a fine example of this. Late last year, the Charlie Palmer restaurant in Mandalay Bay decided to update it’s rather austere entrance last year, opening up a huge window to their famous wine tower and dining room; it was a great idea, and arguably overdue, the first real change to the restaurant since it opened in the late ‘90s. At the same time, they also thought to gather some energy from the casino floor by creating a small “wine lounge” in front of the window, with a few select wines by the glass, and some small bites to accompany them.]]></description>

Such might be the case for Ping Pang Pong, perhaps one of the few perennial winners of the Las Vegas Review-Journal&#8217;s &#8220;Best Of Vegas&#8221; that actually deserves it.

		<description><![CDATA[I'll be honest: in years of covering the Vegas dining scene, I've really only experienced a couple handfuls of restaurants off-Strip (or more specifically, outside a casino resort) worth writing about. Granted, that is probably on par with what you might expect of an average Southwest city even if it didn't have a foodie-frustrating overload of fine dining right in the middle of it. But particularly in Vegas, most anyone with serious chef talent is going to want to be on the Strip. That's where most of the money is, easy or hard.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Social House is easily the strongest culinary destination in Crystals, and one of the Strip’s most creatively approachable, ingredient-driven Japanese restaurants. No, it does not necessarily compete with the most adventuresome Japanese eateries in town, such as Spring Mountain’s Iburiya Raku and Ichiza, but this is a more relaxed, lavish, internationally-appealing experience, with strong quality and technique. The kitchen understands how to balance salty, sweet, sour and bitter with crispy, crunchy and soft textures for mouth-pleasing bites. That talent is all too rare.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a certain irony in the fact that the first official "tribute" to organized crime in Las Vegas is in the casino hotel which was discovered to be skimmed by the mob more than any other, the Tropicana. Of course, the resort has long since changed ownership several times, and this "Mob Experience" --not to be confused with the Mob Museum in the works for downtown Las Vegas--is one aspect of a major property overhaul which has done wonders with the old dame.]]></description>

Thus far, Due Forni Pizza &#038; Wine seems to be doing fine… but if it fails, don’t blame the food.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I rarely feel compelled to promote corporate brands, but I recently enjoyed tastings at two restaurants in Las Vegas, both of which happen to be somewhat “under the radar;” happen to offer price points slightly below their quality might call for; and happen to be operated by the Los Angeles-based MCC Hospitality Group. It can’t be a coincidence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s an odd thing to stake a claim as something of an expert when it comes to Las Vegas buffets…especially when you weigh in at under 200 lbs…but why hide it? I’m probably one of the few people on the planet to have dined at virtually all of the casino-resort buffets, typically in the course of research (see my Orbitz.com Top Ten Buffets, most of which I believe still holds accurate, with the exception of Mirage’s Cravings, about which I’ve heard too many complaints) but occasionally just in the pursuit of a quick, effortless meal. Which is largely the point of these casino smorgasbords, at least historically, as I noted in another piece I wrote on the topic for the Las Vegas Weekly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I will always have a soft spot for a category killer: that intrepid soul, that rugged individual who decides that his or her place must have the largest, widest, most expensive or strangest selection of any one thing. Somehow I feel it echoes the pioneering spirit that made this country great. Even if its not really unique to America. Still, Las Vegas has always been a safe haven for category killers, and now it has one more: The Pub at Monte Carlo.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, USA Today devoted the better part of a two-page spread on The Best of Las Vegas Nightlife, a pictorial written by Kitty Bean Yancey with the input of Vegas “panelists” Norm Clarke (Las Vegas Review-Journal  gossip columnist), Anthony Curtis (LasVegasAdvisor.com), Sarah Feldberg (Las Vegas Weekly), Oscar Goodman (outgoing Mayor of downtown  Las Vegas), Dan Hippler (Vegas.com), Jack Houston (Las Vegas Magazine), John Katsilometes (Las Vegas Sun), and Abby Tegnalia (VEGAS magazine).

I have to tell you, I was pretty dumbstruck by it. I had to check the date of the paper—and wonder how much input my colleagues actually had. Because without exception, every single one of the choices—most of which wouldn’t generally be considered ‘nightlife’ specifically—could have been made two years ago. If not longer. YAWN.]]></description>

And the best representation of that scene, the best assemblage and celebration, remains Vegas Uncork’d by bon appetit.]]></description>

Among the myriad fine dining grouped on the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’ third level, Blue Ribbon appears as something of a sleeper. Unlike the flashy, hostess-heavy Jaleo and STK, the uber-fancy Milos, or classically modern Scarpetta and Comme Ça, Blue Ribbon is in a darker corner and somewhat hidden behind a patterned screen wall.

		<description><![CDATA[Dropped by for a quick visit with Chef Gary FX LaMorte at Andre's Monte Carlo this evening, and the chef waylaid me with an unexpected menu tasting! I would complain, but every dish was remarkably creative and well-executed. While Andre Rochat, one of Las Vegas' longest-established haute cuisine chefs, is very classically-minded, LaMorte has taken his namesake restaurant in exciting new directions (ask about the foie gras martini!) for which he's relatively under-appreciated. This food is quite seriously up there with the finest in the city--and served formally in a gorgeous, cheerfully romantic, intimate dining room. Incidently, LaMorte told me it was the first time he'd actually sat down in his own dining room to experience the service, but I bet he tells all his dates that ;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may not quite be a SCOOP, but it seems to have not been reported yet that Brian Howard has taken over the day-to-day reins as Executive Chef at Comme ça in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas resort. Howard is known as one of the more ambitious chefs in the local dining scene, most recently executing a very molecular/fusion menu at Nu Sanctuary in Town Square that should be remembered as one of the most adventurous culinary experiences in Las Vegas dining (particularly off-Strip--and joining Carlos Guia at Louis Osteen in the Town Square too good/too soon club).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jet Tila is probably best known as Executive Chef of Wazuzu, the critically-acclaimed Pan-Asian restaurant in the Encore Las Vegas resort. But the LA native's first professional identity was as a cooking instructor, holding classes in his backyard at 22 [He's also gone on to be accoladed for his recipes, blogs, videos, and making the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest stirfry. There are also frozen dinners on the way, I'm told. Here's a bio with more detail than I have the energy to paraphrase.] He moved his classes to Culver City's New School of Cooking quite a while ago, but I only recently got a chance to sit in on a session to check it out. I confess that Thai is one cuisine I've always shied away from trying at home, the best dishes always seemed excessively complex and home versions never seemed to mirror what you could get very cheaply from a restaurant.]]></description>
