Now with some time to get acquainted, a “Grand Opening” making official what fans have already come to know, Chef Francesco Di Caudo’s Basilico Ristorante Italiano at Evora finds the native of Italy looking to add much needed modernity to Las Vegas’ Italian dining scene.

Originally encountered at Ferraro’s in 2015, contemporary ideas better suited to sophisticated palates carried over to Anima and then Di Caudo’s first solo project, it is amidst upscale décor that diners are invited to relax on comfortable red chairs with stone, wood and Wine bottles adding elegance.

Fusing inside to patio through the bar, Cocktails built on Italian Spirits offered alongside regional Wines, service is convivial but polished while describing a menu featuring housemade Pasta, Pizza and the sort of starters prone to wow such as a trio of Supplì better than most in Rome and three Cuttlefish preparations including one with a veil over Squash and Yolk.

Priced appropriate to what is offered, Dashi Braised Octopus showcasing Francesco’s willingness to explore flavors outside his motherland with precision, Basilico’s duo of Duck works as well in the mouth as on Instagram whether creamy “Foiemisu” or the “Duck Cigar” unveiled in a puff of smoke.

Continuing with Trotello in the style of Caprese Salad, the words “light” or “refreshing” rarely applied to stuffed-Pasta, Strozzapreti brings all the heft of Veal Ragu fortified by Mushrooms while Di Caudo’s impeccable Risotto now comes perfumed by Espresso beneath Uni and Offal.

Now officially offering upright Mezze Maniche on the menu, a dish matured over the past eight years with Cinnamon and Caviar, Secondi feature Proteins perfectly cooked in the case of both Iberico Secreto and Scallops alongside spoon-tender Oxtails.

Bridging to Dessert with a caramelized Artichoke served tender beneath Chamomile Gelato none should leave Basilico Ristorante Italiano without tasting Liquid Nitrogen Parmigiano Gelato prepared tableside or the recently added Frangipane Tart with local Figs and Earl Grey Ganache.

Opened in June of 2023 at Plaza Hotel & Casino, in an expansive space with prominent outdoor signage, Pinkbox Doughnuts remains Las Vegas’ premier spot for designer Doughnuts just as it has since debuting over a decade ago on Lake Mead.

More and more social-media savvy over the years this visit entailed far beyond the usual “OG Classics,” and although PinkBox’s Old Fashioned Cogwheels are still Las Vegas’ best additional traditional choices are mostly as expected making “Fancy Pancy” or “Show Off” choices a necessity.

Fully committed to clever nomenclature, “Cherry Bomb” packed with Fruit beneath lots of Frosting, “Mango Tango” succeeds thanks to the flavors of Chamoy and Tajin while the Maple Bar shows Roberto Armanino knew early-on to nail the basics.

Replenishing supply as necessary, high volume assuring everything is fresh, “Vegas Cream” and “Mr. Blueberry” each achieve high marks while “Pinkidy” upgrades the traditional Bismark by way of Cheesecake Filling.

Not forgetting a CroDough with laminated layers Pink Velvet remains a signature for good reason while fans of Cereal-topped rings will find a range of options including Fruit Loops or “Tutti Frutti” with Fruity Pebbles.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Company [14,] Las Vegas NV

Chocolate Chip Cookie Company

Cranberry White Chocolate Cookie

Cinnamon Sugar Cookie

Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie

Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie

Just the Dough Cookie

Chocolate Chip Cookie

M&M Cookie

Half & Half Cookie

Banana Walnut Cookie

Located inside Suite 242 of 6380 South Valley View Boulevard it seems likely that no one will accidentally stumble upon Chocolate Chip Cookie Company, but for those with the prudence to seek Dessert while out and about the small store in front of a commissary kitchen may just be serving Las Vegas’ best collection of locally made rounds.

Focused on “Bringing the Cookie Back,” and previously available only by delivery, it was late 2018 that Jovan Mesa-Glennon and husband John opened a small store at the back of an industrial complex, hours from 10:00am till six o’clock or later daily giving guests a chance to see the facility and take home one or more of several styles.

Baking everything from scratch, Jovan’s secret recipes yielding the sort of Cookie that blossoms a bit around the edge before becoming crisp, it was based on prior experience that two-dozen were ordered for work, the business’ namesake buttery with just enough Vanilla and Cinnamon to perfume the palate while chunks of Bittersweet Chocolate are partially melted throughout the center.

Next tasting Peanut Butter followed by Chocolate Chip Walnut, the addition of Nuts to Mrs. Mesa-Glennon‘s Batter proves predictably delicious while “Just the Dough” is textbook chewy with oodles of nostalgia.

Prioritizing customer safety by individually bagging each Cookie at no extra cost Banana Walnut wins guests over by way of natural sweetness and toasty spots in juxtaposition to sugary Toffee Chocolate Chip that is also slightly salty and heterogeneous from bite-to-bite.

Titling their version of the Snickerdoodle a “Cinnamon and Sugar Cookie,” the granulated top plus plenty of Butter making each mouthful sugary and moist, fans should be sure to follow @thechocolatechipcookieco on Social Media where specials such as White Chocolate and Craisins or Half & Half are frequently announced.

ØØ Pie & Pub [2,] Las Vegas NV

ØØ Pie & Pub

PESTO PIZZA – Fior Di Latte, Garlic, Semi Dried Tomatoes, Balsamic Glaze, Basil, Pistachio Pesto

PEPPERONI PIZZA – Vodka Sauce, Fior Di Latte, Chili Crunch, Dry Aged Pepperoni, Basil, EVOO

FUNGHI PIZZA – White Sauce, Fior Di Latte, Mozzarella, Garlic Butter Mushrooms, Charred Green Onion, Parmesan, Sea Salt

BUDINO – Caramel & Sea Salt With Candied Nuts

BURRATA PANNA COTA – Peaches, Plums, Stone Fruit Gelee

For those lucky enough to have experienced a Pizza from Michael Vakneen at The Plaza it is obvious the man has talent, and at ØØ Pie & Pub that skill set is paired to exemplary customer service led by Victor Mercado of LEV Group and recently named GM Erica Bell.

Part of The Center at Spring Mountain, 3853 Spring Mountain Road just steps from Golden Tiki, the space features milled double zero Flour fermented 72-hours to yield high elasticity and easy digestibility common to the best Pizzas in Naples.

A consulting gig for the world champion, with staff including Head Chef Addry Cordero-Davis manning the wood-burning oven, ØØ Pie & Pub keeps its menu concise with a focus on flavors benefited by imported Ingredients plus produce from Kerry Clasby.

Currently open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, though lunch and late-night are reportedly coming soon, Craft Beers and Japanese Whiskey bolster a list of well-priced Wines by the glass including assertive Prosecco that pairs well to housemade Pickles or White Anchovies atop a pile of Olives and Peppers.

Also offering Salads and occasional specials such as Saturday’s Caprese, a second visit to ØØ Pie & Pub focused specifically on Pizzas such as Pistachio Pesto with Semi Dried Tomatoes and Balsamic Glaze that prove Vakneen isn’t focused on arbitrary certifications like “VPN” but rather making the best Pizza in Sin City.

Leopard-spotted with char across the cornicione, each of three Pies cooked almost perfectly with a wide-open crumb, ØØ’s center trends less “wet” than most whether topped as a traditional Margherita or in the case of Pepperoni featuring “Chili Crunch” atop Vodka Sauce.

Already outpacing its youth, every server wearing a smile, it was on the heels of Buttered Mushrooms with White Sauce that Desserts again found the Burnt Caramel Budino sweet and complex while those who favor something less sweet should inquire about the daily special Burrata Panna Cotta that will leave those who’ve been there feeling like they just ate in Naples.

Crumbl (Durango) [6,] Las Vegas NV

crumbl Cookies

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk – Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Sea Salt

Honey Bun – Cinnamon Cookie, Honey Butter Glaze

Chocolate Crumb – Chocolate Cookie, Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting, Oreo Cookies

Lemon Cream Pie – Sugar Cookie, Lemon Cream, Whipped Cream, Lemon

Cookie Butter White Chip – Cookie Butter Cookie, Biscoff Cookie, White Chocolate Chips

Peanut Butter Crisp – Peanut Butter Cookie, Melted Chocolate, Butterfinger

Born in Logan Utah Crumbl took the city by storm, their Instagramable rounds offered in thirty stores across six states by 2019 and now in all fifty states with six in Las Vegas including the Durango location opened in May 2020.

Created by Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, rapid expansion through franchising yielding mixed results from store to store as evidence by Social Media, it was after five improving experiences that the westside storefront proved competent, the staff exceedingly pleasant whilst describing each choice.

Undoubtedly popular in part due to photogenicity, though a sterile interior oversells the fact that everything is made from scratch, the first thing those entering will notice is Crumbl’s limited collection of just six weekly flavors, though on this week the overly-sweet Chocolate Chip was replaced by Semi-Sweet Chunks plus Sea Salt while Sugar replaced boring Pink Icing with creamy Citrus and Whipped Cream.

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Chocolate Crumb,” all the flavors of Oreos well represented even before placing crumbled pieces on top of Cream Cheese Icing.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that Honey Bun riffed-well on the Snack Cake while Cookie Butter White Chip made good use of Biscoff.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name “Peanut Butter Crisp” runs a little dry despite melted Chocolate, though fans of Butterfinger probably won’t mind since the Candy Bar itself has never been known to be chewy or soft.

Located at 9435 West Tropicana Avenue inside Crossroads Plaza Shopping Center and open 24-hours Pinkbox Doughnuts remains Las Vegas’ premier spot for Artisan Doughnuts, just as it has since debuting over a decade ago.

Often beginning with a Fritter, this day no different and the resulting bite packed with Cinnamon plus Fruit, it was after others made selections that Cherry Bomb continued the gluttony, its Streusel and Whip mellowing the sweet red center.

Fully committed to clever nomenclature, “Baby Got Razz” packed with Cream Cheese and Jam beneath Granulated Sugar, the “El Guzman CroDough” succeeds thanks to traditional Guava with Cream Cheese while a Buttermilk Bar shows Roberto Armanino knew early-on to nail the basics.

Replenishing supply as necessary, high volume assuring everything is fresh, the “Blue Face DoughCro” sees layers separate nicely beneath naturally-flavored Frosting while monthly specials of Chocolate Butter Cup and Creamsicle see the former quite weighty and the latter reminiscent of a Hostess Orange Cupcake.

Tre Latte Cake – Oranges, Lime Zest, Cream Cheese Gelato

Apple Crostata – Cinnamon Streusel, Vanilla Gelato

Established in Summerlin as the pandemic waned, and already “the Usual Place” for residents of Las Vegas’ affluent suburb, dinner on Wednesday again found Al Solito Posto firing on all cylinders for a taste of Chef James Trees and team’s East Coast Italian Food.

A replacement for Brio Italian Grill at Tivoli Village, approximately 180 indoor seats plus several on the patio, it was after greetings at the hostess’ stand that four guests were led to a table, service attentive and friendly without the theatrics of Carbone.

Boisterous but not exactly loud in the lounge it was after deciding on Beverages that fourteen items were selected, complimentary housemade Focaccia plus Garlic Herb Olive Oil mixed tableside soon to arrive and consumed nearly as quickly.

Happy to see Chef Adam Rios at the pass Appetizers consist of Soups, Salads and Antipasti, the Meatballs tight but not overworked adjacent a triangle of Cornmeal while the Pizza and Panzanella Salad each put Cheese to good use with the latter particularly outstandimg.

Utilizing fresh Ingredients across the board, prices ranging $16-$38 for Starters and $21-$59 for Entrees a veritable bargain despite outpacing most of Las Vegas Boulevard, course two featured three Pastas plus the return of slowly-simmered Gravy loaded with Meatballs, Spare Ribs and housemade Fennel Sausage.

Able to handle big volume thanks to skilled cooks plus a sizable kitchen Pastas are made on-site daily, and although Asparagus Pesto on Radiatore was good Al Solito Posto’s filled options including Duck Ravioli and brilliant Sweet Corn Agnolotti with Rock Shrimp make for tough competition.

A complete overhaul of the old menu according to James Trees, though Las Vegas’ best Lasagna remains unchanged, additional entrees see Eggplant Parm shine thanks to less fuss while enormous African Prawns served Scampi-style and a Tomahawk Pork Chop are faultless.

Sad to see the Rainbow Cake scrapped, though an Italian riff on Tres Leches now stands as one of Sin City’s most inspired Desserts, Tiramisu arrives in the form of Cheesecake while the Pie-sized Apple Crostata remains a texturally masterful showstopper served piping hot with a side of Vanilla Gelato waiting to be melted on top.

Fesenjaan – Chicken, Pomegranate & Walnut Sauce

Pistachio Halva

As the eldest occupant of Global West Plaza and the oldest Persian Restaurant In Las Vegas Zaytoon is more easily overlooked than many local eateries, but using the same recipes for decades the space on Durango is a breath of fresh air in a time when authenticity is often lacking.

Family owned and the combination of eatery plus market, the later featuring imported goods as well as groceries, plates come from a kitchen steeped in tradition such that everything from Lavash to several styles of Baklava are made on-site daily.

Muslim owned and Halal-certified, a name that translates as Olive seemingly appropriate for peaceful confines, guests can expect Kabobs served at a fair price though the real highlights come from Stews such as bold Ghormeh Sabizi and Fesenjaan that is complex but not overly sweet like many.

Horchata and Churro Doughnut

Blueberry Cinnamon Toast Doughnut

Family owned and operated from the start, Dominic Sang bringing family recipes from a Texas Doughnuttery to Sin City in October 2015, guests entering Glaze Doughnuts will notice little has since changed about the shop in nearly 8 years while a soft base and creative toppings earn “Best of Las Vegas” accolades annually.

Located on Fort Apache Road, fair prices and friendly service undoubtedly part of Glaze’s appeal, what the shop lacks in selection is more than made up for in quality compared to the likes of Dunkin, Krispy Kream or other spots nearby.

Largely built on Yeast Rings, though undersized Fritters perform admirably, fans of simplicity will find Maple Frosting far more subtle than most while Chocolate and Coffee Glaze are also of excellent quality with or without additions such as Cereal or Candy.

Not over-the-top, but balanced and complex, Salted Caramel Pearls and Pecans dazzle atop a fluffy leavened base while Peanut Butter and Oreos do the same, though if one is seeking Glaze’s top choice the decision comes down to Blueberry Cinnamon Toast, Churros and Horchata or Matcha Green Tea Pistachio that delivers sweetness beneath toasty notes.

Opened in 2018, with Anima by EDO debuted early 2022 and since a JBFA Semifinalist, EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine remains Las Vegas’ most exciting Restaurant thanks to its unrivaled ability to look backwards while at the same time pushing boundaries rarely approached by off-Strip dining.

Inspired by Catalonian traditions, Chef Oscar Amador Edo’s upbringing in Barcelona gifting him with a respect for diverse Ingredients and an ability to craft poignant bites that highlight rather than hide them, it was as a party of three that guests were accommodated near the back, GM Roberto Liendo charged with creating a Menu Degustacion including both regularly offered items and nightly inspirations.

An acronym for “Extra Day Off,” though EDO itself is open from 5pm until 9pm daily, it was with most of the Restaurant’s other 32 seats full by 6:00 on Wednesday that things were underway quickly with guests enjoying Sparkling Wine alongside vibrant Gazpacho as well as Catalonian Charcuterie, Mussels and Tomato Bread.

Seafood-centric early, a Spanish Anchovy atop French Butter followed by Boquerones and Manchego, it was following signature Beef Carpaccio that Oscar sent out a crisp Rosette beneath Caviar, Crab and creamy Avocado tinged in Citrus.

Not forgetting Vegans and Vegetarians, a seasonal Salad of Beets and Tomatoes brightened by Rhubarb served after Cannelloni made of Celery filled with Walnut “Ricotta,” Oscar’s Catalonian Lobster Roll tells a story of his immigration to the States while “Crostini de Calamari” takes fried Squid up a notch with finely ground Blood Sausage.

Weaving traditional to modern in a manner not dissimilar from Jose Andres or even the Adria brothers, Arroz Meloso with Foie Gras and a Red Prawn with Eggs equally successful, no trip to EDO is complete without layered-Patatas Bravas or Bikini Sobrasada.

Finishing with Iberico Pork Neck, rendered Fat blending with Pear Mostarda, Desserts were gracefully light but absolutely spectacular as Caramelized Pineapple stood up to Duck Liver and Hazelnut Ice Cream before an electric grand finale of Black Cherry-Chocolate Chip Gelato in Panang Curry.

Already the rare Las Vegas recipient of a James Beard Foundation Award, Chef Saipin Chutima named Best Chef: Southwest in 2011, Lotus of Siam needs no introduction – though its recreation on Flamingo and fanciful digs at Red Rock suggest the Chef’s children have bigger things in mind about the Restaurant’s legacy going forward.

Having visited the unassuming icon of Thai Food thrice prior, a lunch in 2012 and two dinners separated by five years, Friday evening found the concept from Tao Group owner Lou Abin and Lotus of Siam’s Bua Food Group at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa as busy as it is beautiful.

Built out of former Buffet space, lanterns and hanging vines creating a vibe across spaces from bar to the back, it is with a truncated version of Chutima’s Northern Thai traditions that Lotus at Red Rock pays homage to the original despite somewhat stiff service.

Requesting everything level five of ten, Thai Coffee a prudent choice for those looking to quell the fire, Dinner began with a hot pot of Chicken Tom Kha alongside Issan Sausage that is snappy, sour and worth every word of praise.

Not forgetting Nam Prik Hed served side-by-side with fiery Steak Tartare teaming with Chilis, Vegetables and Pork Rinds used as delivery mechanisms for each, Garlic Crispy Prawns continue to earn “Mom’s Highlights” status with edible Shells still on and varying textures from bite to bite.

All in on Noodles and Curry, Chicken Pad See Ew well executed but lost in the wake of creamy Burmese Khao Soi, Rice is well-utilized in sopping up the Sauce from Crispy Duck Chu-Chee, Panang Curry with medium rare Ribeye and aromatic Yellow Curry with Chicken and Vegetables.

Not exactly “known” for sweet stuff, though the Red Rock iteration seems intent on correcting that, Dessert arrived as a platter featuring everything from time-honored deep fried Bananas to Mango Sticky Rice, Chocolate Fondant and Pineapple Upside Down Cake served warm with Coconut Gelato.

Previously a novelty store 1228 MAIN is the culmination of a journey that began as a Bread stand at the Downtown Summerlin Farmer’s Market, David Robins, Dustin Lewandowski and Sébastien Polycarpe bringing their collective talents to the Arts District with impressive results.

A partnership with Wolfgang Puck, Robins having opened five of the Chef’s projects over the past three decades, it is upon entry that guests will note a Barista stand and two glass cases including one filled to the top with Pastries from the hands of men previously employed by Savoy and Robuchon.

Open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with Puck having moved his Bread production for all of Las Vegas to the expansive kitchen, it is from the counter or at a table that orders are placed for everything from well-priced Coffee to more costly Soups, Salads, Sandwiches and Cakes.

Surrounded by paid parking, buzzy Bars and shops, though 1228’s Wine and Spirits shouldn’t be overlooked, daytime should begin for most with one (or all) of Sébastien’s exceptional Viennoiserie, the Butter Croissant flaky around a delicate center while Pain au Chocolat, Creme Brulee Croissant and Pan Suisse follow the same formula adding sweetness through Chocolate, Custard or both.

Serious about their craft but not afraid to get creative, a Lemon Curd Cruffin standing out with assertive Citrus while Fruit Danishes are faultless, fans of something more rustic should look to a thick Oatmeal Cookie, Sugar-shellacked Pop Tart or flourless Muffin featuring Orange, Carrot, Apple and Pecan.

Turning to Chef Alexander Huizar for savories, time with Josh Smith at Delilah undoubtedly paying dividends, Grilled Cheese places aged Cheddar and Jack together on housemade Sourdough next to creamy Tomato Soup for $16 while the same Bread including Peaches, Pure Maple Syrup and Cream costs $14 per three slices beneath Chantilly.

Fully expecting Baguette from Polycarpe and Guechida to be impressive, easily the city’s best and even better with hosemade Orange Marmalade plus Sebastien’s Butter made from Strauss Cream and Sea Salt, additional loaves include Multi-Grain Rye and Cherry Walnut that wouldn’t be out of place at a Michelin 3* Restaurant.

Not about to forgo Biscuits, at 1228 served laminated beneath Bacon and Eggs alongside spreadable Pimento Cheese, Croissants also come warmed with Ham and Gruyere while the $18 double-Smash Burger features a housemade Bun and Dijonnaise and a pile of some seriously good Fries.

Fairly plain in terms of décor, a brick wall dividing the Bar from a dining room filled with wooden tables and leather-clad seats, Desserts are scaled back at lunch compared to later with the exception of flourless Chocolate Cake and subtle Amalfi Lemon Cake featuring an Olive Oil Sponge and Lemon Buttercream Frosting.

Recently opened in The Center at Spring Mountain, 3853 Spring Mountain Road just steps from Golden Tiki, the space features milled double zero Flour fermented 72-hours to yield high elasticity and easy digestibility common to the best Pizzas in Naples.

A consulting gig for the world champion, with staff from LEV’s La Strega manning the wood-burning oven, ØØ Pie & Pub keeps its menu concise with a focus on flavors benefited by imported Ingredients plus produce from Kerry Clasby.

Also offering Salads and creamy Burrata with uncured Pork, that same Speck served atop a Pie featuring White Sauce, Pecans, Fig Jam and Saba, it is clear Vakneen isn’t focused on arbitrary certifications like “VPN” but rather making the best Pizza in town.

Leopard-spotted with char across the cornicione, each of three Pies cooked almost perfectly with a wide-open crumb, ØØ’s center trends less “wet” than most whether topped as a traditional Margherita or in the case of Diavola featuring the Chef’s own spicy Sausage recipe.

Already outpacing its youth, every server wearing a smile, Desserts feature traditional Tiramisu plus a Burnt Caramel Budino while those who favor something less sweet should inquire about the daily special Burrata Panna Cotta that will leave those who’ve been there feeling like they just ate in Italy.

Coconut Banana Cream Pie

Located at Hughes Center since 1997 Lawry’s The Prime Rib can safely be described as a Las Vegas icon, and although both Dallas and Beverly Hills have outposts that does nothing to dampen an Art Deco dining room and service on par to what one will find at some of The Strip’s top Steakhouses.

Known for Meats carved tableside from gleaming carts, though Certified Angus Steaks and fresh Seafood are also available, Lawry’s experience begins with check-in at the hostess’ podium, a trip to the lounge favored by some while most won’t wish to delay the main event.

Lavish without being stuffy, curved banquettes and tables each available, guests dine in a lively environment fueled by Wine or Cocktails poured shortly after the arrival of warm Sourdough Bread.

Smart to order some starters, though those seeking lunch in under an hour could surely achieve such with Salad, a Sandwich or Prime Rib plus sides, Lawry’s Cheesy Onion Fondue outpaces Calamari with Remoulade while the “Famous” Spinning Salad is a polarizing experience mostly thanks to the inclusion of Beets.

Offering Roast Beef as a full-Dinner or a la carte, the former inclusive of Salad, Mashed Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding, the quality of Lawry’s Prime Rib is evident in terms of taste, texture and appearance while additional sides range from luxurious Creamed Corn and Spinach to crispy Fries.

Not forgetting extra Au Jus, nor sizzling Mushrooms and Whipped Cream Horseradish for fans, Desserts come at the bargain price of $10 each for Coconut Banana Cream Pie that is heavy on the Cream plus seasonal English Trifle and Sticky Toffee Pudding better than one will get from Gordon Ramsay.

Red Velvet Cookies – White Chocolate Chips

Risen like a phoenix from the ashes of Ramir Bolanos DeCastro’s beloved Purple Potato it is as a Bakery that the former Yonaka Chef’s legacy continues to grow via Donuts, Cookies, Ube-based treats and Filipino Pastries.

Previously offered for delivery or takeout only, but now brick and mortar at 6370 W Flamingo Rd #20, it was Thursday that eight items were procured for tasting, savories skipped in favor of recently-added Ring Brioche Donuts including real Madagascar Vanilla, Salted Sesame and Jackfruit Banana with Turon and a hint of Espresso.

Never actually gone from the local food scene, the rebranding of Yonaka and Purple Potato followed by a consulting gig at McCarran, Chef DeCastro’s current lineup continues with Croissant and Polvoron Bismarck Donuts, this day featuring a dozen varieties ranging from “Nutella Eclair” to Ube.

Also selling savories such Chicken in Puff Pastry and Beef Caldereta, plus Gluten-free Mochi Balls, fans of Coconut should head straight for lavish Young Coconut Pie or the daily-special Donut when available.

Scaling back “Monster Cookies” to approximately 4” Ube Velvet features a crisp rim and molten center while Red Velvet is a bit homogeneous, the same not to be said for dueling Crinkle Cookies that eat a bit like St. Louis-style Butter Cake whether Ube or Chocolate-Caramel.

The Carrot Cake

Having supported David Mozes’ and Chef Peter’s Bronze Café at The Center, The Market and Juice Stars, it was to #supportlocal that lunch was catered from their North Buffalo location on Wednesday, a collection of old favorites arriving on time with plenty of plates and utensils that allowed staff to enjoy every second of their lunch hour.

Beginning with “Sammiches,” both California Turkey and “The What What” receiving praise from those fortunate enough to snag a half, it was a bit more slowly that the double-Bacon LGBTQ and “Basil Chicken Salad” disappeared, though these remain personal favorites.

Happy to receive a glut of Desserts, all Vegan, those missing Beau Monde’s gluten-free offerings will be happy to know both the newly added Caramel Pecan Brownie and Pistachio Rose Zucchini Matcha Cake are made without any Wheat protein, as too is a fully loaded Carrot Cake that only gets more delicious with time.

Continuing strong with the cleverly titled Loving v Virginia, a Brookie that sees both halves nicely textured, Chai Spice and Rocky Road Cookies are soft and almost Cake-like while those seeking something new should consider the Peanut Butter Surprise or delectable Blue Raspberry Lemonade Cookie.

Not forgetting a Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle, still Vegas’ best Cookie, Peter’s Cranberry Almond Muffin outpaces the already excellent Blueberry and Triple Chocolate versions while an update to the Banana Flax Cake sees it better than ever.

Replenishing supply as necessary, high volume assuring everything is fresh, “Vegas Cream” and “Mr. Blueberry” each achieve high marks while “Baby Got Razz” and “The Caramelo” each upgrade traditional Bismarks by way of Cheesecake Filling.

Not forgetting a CroDough with laminated layers Pink Velvet remains a signature for good reason while “Holy Cannoli” and “Gimme S’more” add even more diversity in terms of Fillings and creativity.

ROLLED PIZZA SCACCIA, tomato chili sauce, kale, fried pepperoni, poached egg

TRUFFLE POLENTA, sunny side eggs, roasted mushrooms, frico chip

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES, harry’s gaviota strawberry, mascarpone, basil syrup

BUTTERSCOTCH BUDINO, whiskey caramel, honeycomb, whipped cream

Last visited for Brunch in April Sunday afternoon once again found Esther’s Kitchen firing on all cylinders, the frequently-changing menu filled with past favorites in addition to new plates executed at a fair price with exacting standards.

Now serving Las Vegas for over 5 years, every available superlative already used to describe James Trees’ Restaurant that revitalized the Art’s District, it was with a packed house that six guests sat near the pass with Coffee from Vesta and Baker Dylan Jobsz’s city-best Sourdough starting things off.

Seasonal and rustic in a good way, Ham and Cheese Biscuits not pretty but wholly delicious even without Butter, Toasts come topped in everything from soft-scrambled Eggs to chunky Raspberry Jam with housemade Pistachio Butter while Sandwiches such as the Meatball Hoagie are big enough to share for many.

More savory than sweet this time, a Pizza Roll mellowing spicy Sauce with Poached Eggs preceding two of Chef Trees’ textbook Pastas, seasonality is showcased through fluffy Ricotta Pancakes featuring Basil Syrup and Harry’s Berries.

Heartier with housemade Porchetta beneath Eggs plus Calabrian Chili Hollandaise, and never forgetting Polenta ground on-site beneath a crispy Cheese lattice, “Esther’s Monte Cristo” deserves special mention for being done the right way – Deep fried in all it’s glory with two types of Meat, Housemade Brioche and Raspberry Jam on the side.

A lot of Food for not a lot of cash, all of it rooted in technique but never compromising flavor for looks, Dessert consisted of Esther’s forever refining Butterscotch Budino times two – because one is never enough.

Chilled Sugar Cookie with Pink Frosting

Chocolate Cookies & Cream – Chocolate Cookie, Cookies & Cream Pieces, White Chocolate Chips

Red Velvet Cupcake – Red Velvet Cookie, Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting, Red Velvet Cookie Crumbs

Waffle – Vanilla Cookie, Buttercream Frosting, Fake Maple Syrup

Created by Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, rapid expansion through franchising yielding mixed results from store to store as evidenced by Social Media, it was after a few improving experiences that the westside storefront proved competent, the staff exceedingly pleasant whilst describing each choice.

Undoubtedly popular in part due to photogenicity, though a sterile interior oversells the fact that everything is made from scratch, the first thing those entering will notice is Crumbl’s limited collection of just six weekly flavors, four specials alongside Sugar slathered in Pink Icing plus Chocolate Chip that uses all Milk Chocolate and trends far too sweet.

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Chocolate Cookies & Cream,” all the flavors of Oreos well represented even before placing crumbled pieces on top.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that Fried Ice Cream riffed-well on Fair Food while Red Velvet Cupcake continued to show why crumbl is more a flattened-Cake company than one who sells Cookies.

Rounding out the week with “Waffle,” by and by a #hashtagged Vanilla Cookie with Buttercream added to resemble a ball of Butter, the menu description of “Maple Syrup” oversells colored HFCS that belongs in the trash in favor of the real deal.

Farm Basket

Clucketos – 3 Rolled Chicken Tacos, Shredded Lettuce, Cheese, Salsa

Clucker – Fried Chicken Breast Sandwich, Toasted Hoagie Roll, Miracle Whip, Cranberry Sauce

Gobbler – Fried Turkey Breast Sandwich, Toasted Hoagie Roll, Miracle Whip, Cranberry Sauce

Chicken Fingers, Ranch Dressing

Potato Salad, Cranberry Sauce, Ranch Dressing, Coleslaw, Miracle Whip

Mashed Potatoes, Gravy

French Fries

Country Rolls, Orange Butter

Since 1973 Farm Basket has been a local favorite in Sin City, the outpost on West Charleston still going strong from 10am until 9pm daily even as other locations have come and gone across the years.

Owned by Billy Bayne and family since 2018, historic signage maintained alongside longtime catchphrase “Carried Away with Quality,” guests old and new will discover a concise menu centered on Chicken and Turkey served in various ways plus sides and drinks.

Undoubtedly an icon, nearly 50 years of business a rarity in Las Vegas, service is friendly and fast while portions prove generous across Coleslaw, velvety Mashed Potatoes and the “Gobbler” featuring Fried Turkey Breast on a Toasted Hoagie with sides of Cranberry Sauce and Miracle Whip.

Sticking to classics in the age of Social Media, @FarmBasketChicken occasionally adding contests or specials, Fried Chicken proves juicy whether as Strips or on the Bone beneath crunchy Batter while “Clucketos” see pulled Poultry wrapped in Corn Tortillas beneath shredded Lettuce and Cheese.

Known for housemade Rolls with Citrus Butter, enjoyable with a better rise than prior, the “Clucker” capitalizes on its cousin’s success with Chicken Breast that proves a bit dry by comparison.
