House Chips

Turkey- B.A.E.L.T. – Bacon, Avocado, Egg, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Wine Drunken Onions, Brioche

Crispy Chicken Parmesan Sandwich – Fried Chicken, Mozzarella, Marinara, Basil, Toasted Bun

Avocado Toast – Haas Avocado, Red Wine Onions, Sliced Onions, California Tomatoes, Brioche

Banana Bread French Toast – Whipped Cream Cheese, Bourbon Brown Butter Almonds, Local Fig Compote

Fat Elvis French Toast – Bacon, Banana, Peanut Butter, Strawberry

Having previously discussed Johnny C’s Diner here, plus three faultless catering gigs, it was an honor to call on Chef Church and his team for another #supportlocal Lunch on Tuesday, Sous Chef Sam Brooks and Johnny himself arriving on time with a bounty of items carefully packed and temperature appropriate from fifteen minutes away.

All-in approximately $20 per diner, a cost more than warranted by quality Produce and portions that guaranteed several staff members also went home with dinner, it was from the upcoming “Phase Two” menu that lunch was constructed, Johnny’s Seasonal Market Salad now leaning into Summer with Cucumbers, Watermelon and Tomatoes while Avocado Toast didn’t skip on its eponymous topping between golden Brioche, sliced Tomatoes and dueling Onion textures.

Diving next into three Sandwiches, enjoyed alongside a handful of Johnny C’s buttery housemade Potato Chips, those who enjoy the Diner’s “Hen House” will be happy to find a similarly fried Breast given the “Parm” treatment on a toasted Bun while the Turkey- B.A.E.L.T. comes stacked-high with drippy Yolk in comparison to the more compact flavor-bomb Grilled Cheese with Brie, Apples, Spicy Honey and Almonds.

Not about to forgo Dessert, the upcoming menu’s Banana Bread French Toast with whipped Cream Cheese and boozy Figs again earning praise from a wide array of diners, those who believe “everything is better with Bacon” will find their opinion verified by “Fat Elvis French Toast” adding fresh California Strawberries to a griddled rendition of the King’s favorite indulgence.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Johnny C’s combination of products and talent is nothing short of remarkable while the price-point is an undeniable bargain for quality Cuisine capable of pleasing a wide range of palates.

RECOMMENDED: Chef’s Seasonal Market Salad, Housemade Dill Pickles, Potato Chips, Crispy Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, Grilled Cheese, Fat Elvis French Toast, Banana Bread French Toast.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Currently open Monday through Sunday: 8:00am until 3:00pm for Take-Out and Dine-In. Follow @johnnycsdiiner on Social Media for events as well as specials. Call 702-263-0146 for reservations (encouraged) and use convenient online ordering or Chownow for take-out.

Dunkin’ Donuts (3481 South Durango Drive,) Las Vegas NV

Dunkin’ Donuts

Apple Fritter

Granulated Sugar Raspberry Filled Donut

Powdered Sugar Custard Filled Donut

Strawberry Frosted Donut

Vanilla Frosted Donut

Blueberry Muffin

Toasted Coconut Donut

Powdered Sugar Chocolate Crème Donut

Glazed Jelly Donut

French Cruller

Like many Americans this writer’s earliest memory of Donuts come from Dunkin’, and given the company’s feverish East-coast following plus locations around the globe there is no doubt the brand deserves recognition for commoditizing such an iconic Pastry, even if the product falls far-short of gourmet by modern standards.

Trans-fat and Artificial-dye free since 2018, a change that nonetheless sees each par-baked piece of Dough laden with over a dozen “Food Additives,” it was by request that three-dozen were ordered from the drive-thru at 3481 South Durango, a few small mistakes but no “deal-breakers” quickly remedied and compensated by a complimentary Blueberry Muffin.

Opting to revisit old memories, a reluctant decision having visited over 80% of America’s “Best” Doughnut Shops over the past decade, it was sharing with others that Dunkin’s Apple Fritter proved fairly competent and largely greaseless, a limited amount of Fruit remedied by lots of Glaze and swirls of Cinnamon.

Recalling a fondness for DD’s Strawberry Frosting as a youngster, its delightfully artificial taste unfortunately compromised by the flavorless ring beneath, a switch to Cake from Yeast found the Blue-Vanilla specimen slightly better while both Jam-filled Donuts were frankly disastrous and cloyingly-sweet.

Unimpressed also by a Chocolate Crème Bismarck, its inside pasty with perhaps one tablespoon of filling, Custard fared slightly better before finally biting into the aforementioned Muffin with a suitably moist crumb and crunchy Sugar topping.

Already quite sure that rumors of Dunkin’ not frying their Donuts is urban legend, the Cruller removing any doubt as the exterior tasted prominently of Oil, the only Donut which justified its calories was Cake covered with Toasted Coconut, the contrasting textures and subtle sweetness rivaling what one might find at a good mom ‘n pop place.

TWO STARS: Like many iconic American chains it is difficult to argue with decades of success, but with advances in Food science and an abundance of locally-owned Donut Shops in almost every American city the only thing Dunkin’ has going for it nowadays is name recognition and lower-than-average prices for lower-than-average products.

RECOMMENDED: Blueberry Muffin, Toasted Coconut Donut.

AVOID: Jelly Donut, Chocolate Crème Donut, French Cruller.

TIP: Pre-ordering and delivery offered by all the usual Apps and rewards available using the Dunkin’ App on Android or iPhone.

Metro Pizza on Sky Pointe [13,] Las Vegas NV

Metro Pizza Sky Pointe

Bread and Butter

86th Street Square Pie – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil, Half with Old School Pepperoni

Old New York – Thick Sliced Mozzarella Cheese, Italian Tomato Sauce, Basil, Half with Sausage

The Gotham Pizza – Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Sausage, Green Peppers, Ground Beef, Onions

Detroit Red Top

Roast Pork, Sautéed Hot Peppers, Bitter Greens, Provolone Cheese, Oregano

Prosciutto Di Parma, Homemade Fig Balsamic, Burrata Cheese, Figs, Bob’s Basil

Although founders John Arena and Sam Facchini can take credit for Las Vegas’ evolution as a destination for Pizza, it was Pizzaiolo Chris Decker’s @everythingbutanchovies Instagram account that prompted a visit last Saturday, and even amidst Stage Two of COVID-19 precautions the Food and hospitality more than justified a forty-five minute round-trip.

Now the flagship of John and Sam’s family of pizzerias since November of 2012, with an expansive footprint including Lulu’s Bread & Breakfast, it was donning a mask that Metro Pizza on Sky Pointe was entered mere minutes after opening, Chef Decker already hard at work with six Pizzas plus two Loaves of Bread ready and waiting.

Dubbed “America’s Neighborhood Pizzeria” since the early eighties, though past and present so much more, it was with everything carefully transported home that goods were unboxed and photos snapped, complimentary table Bread still oven-warm with crisp Crust and soft center while a small “Gotham” not personally tasted was devoured quickly by guests.

Featuring generous portions and prices far lower than Ingredient quality or craftsmanship might dictate, Metro’s Old New York came next, the simplicity of Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce and Basil gracing fermented Dough from Cornicione to center while Chris’ Detroit Red Top utilized the same Ingredients in an entirely different manner with unprecedented lightness surrounded by a crispy Cheese lattice.

Asking Chris for one of his #instagramworthy masterpieces despite the circumstances, and seeing Chef come through with a pair, the “better” of Roast Pork and Bitter Greens versus Fig, Burrata and Prosciutto largely came down to personal preference, though both had to be carefully weighed against saving stomach capacity for at least a slice – or four – of Metro’s reference-standard “86th Street” Sicilian.

FIVE STARS: Serving Las Vegas for four decades and continuously evolving the concept while slowly growing the brand it would be difficult to say anyone has contributed more to Sin City’s love of Pizza than John Arena, and although any brand featuring more than one space may suffer from inconsistency Metro sets a high standard by rewarding their old customer base with predictable greatness while Chris Decker’s creativity looks towards a new era and without ever neglecting the basics – the same synopsis as always since it warrants repeating.

RECOMMENDED: Anything offered as a special from @everythingbutanchovies Social Media feed is worth asking about. So is the 86th Street Square Pie. And, really, any of the Pizzas.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: 1395 East Tropicana Avenue, 4001 South Decatur Boulevard, 6720 Sky Pointe Drive and 1420 West Horizon Ridge Parkway all still open with On-site Dining, Curbside Pickup and No Touch Delivery.

ShangHai Taste Catering [2,] Las Vegas NV

ShangHai Taste

House Fried Rice with Shrimp

Scallion Chicken Salad

Shanghai Fried Rice Cake with Chicken

House Fried Fat Noodles with Shrimp

Kao Fu

Old Fashion Shanghai Style Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs

Traditional Shanghai Xiao Long Bao

Sheng Jian

Red Bean Xiao Long Bao

Slow to recover from the global pandemic, Shanghai Plaza is finally showing signs of increased customer confidence, a number of masked patrons forming short lines at Tea Houses, Bakeries and Ice Cream Parlors flanking Chef Jimmy Li’s ShangHai Taste.

Tucked inside Suite 104 of 4266 Spring Mountain Road, limited seating in the era of social distancing making take-out as good an option as dining in, it was via contacting the Restaurant directly that catering was coordinated, managing partner Joe Muscaglione arriving at 11:30am-sharp with nine items in potions large enough for sharing.

Still the top destination in a two-story complex at the corner of Arville Street and Spring Mountain Road, family recipes handed down to Chef Li comprising a concise menu of scratch-made plates, it was with all items carefully-packed and temperature appropriate that most got started with Fried Rice, a bit of tooth welcomed amidst Shrimp, Egg and Soy while Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs were a surprising staff-favorite thanks to tender Flesh easily stripped from the Bone.

Now the second time delivered, though Jimmy’s years at 3 Villages, 1900 Asian Cuisine and Niu Gu found several familiar with his authentic brand of cooking, fans of Soup Dumplings, or XLB, will be happy to know ShangHai Taste’s set a high standard, and whether one prefers Pork, Crab or even Gluten Free the textures and flavors are great, as too are the fried version entitled Sheng Jian with Sesame Seeds.

Again impressing with House Fried Fat Noodles, each strand slick and slightly chewy tossed with Shrimp, Scallion Chicken Salad was expectedly aromatic but strangely refreshing while Stir-fried Rice Cakes traditionally known as Chao Nian Gao remain a personal favorite thanks to sticky-soft pillows with Salt and a bit of sweetness.

Only offering two Desserts, neither “American” by any stretch, fans of Red Bean Paste should not pass on Jimmy’s lightly sweetened Red Bean Xiao Long Bao, though guests with a sense of adventure may instead consider the steamed Wheat Gluten Kao Fu with Mushrooms that is considered savory but walks a fine line thanks to the complex Sauce featuring fermented Soy, Lily and Ginger.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Chef Jimmy Li and Joe Muscaglione face an uphill battle much like the rest of Las Vegas’ Restaurants following COVID-19, but for those seeking Chinatown’s best Shanghainese Cuisine there is simply none better when accounting for cost, quality and customer service.

RECOMMENDED: Sheng Jian, Traditional Shanghai Xiao Long Bao, Shanghai Fried Rice Cake, House Fried Fat Noodles, Old Fashion Shanghai Style Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs, Kao Fu, Red Bean Xiao Long Bao.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Open daily from 11:00am until 9:00pm. Call 702-570-6363 or hop on Yelp! to make reservations.

While some prognosticators suggest SARS-CoV-2 could topple as many as 1/3 of America’s Restaurants Locale Italian Kitchen has continued to serve Las Vegas from the pandemic’s earliest days, and now Andy Hooper’s spot at Mountain’s Edge is now back at full-steam with Marc Marrone leading the way.

Nothing short of a destination in the Southwest, an area long in need of culinary enlightenment, Phase Two of Nevada’s reopening sees Locale offering dine-in and take-away from Monday through Sunday, the menu evolving daily and now “closer to the Restaurant’s original vision” according to those involved from the beginning.

Already delivered to the office twice under Chef Marrone’s tenure, both events and Fourth of July takeout exceeding expectations, Monday’s delivery came from Marc and Andy consisting of fifteen items, an unparalleled abundance at bargain prices considering both Ingredients and portions.

Professionally packed and temperature appropriate, a mix of regional Italian plates and Chef Marrone’s family recipes, nearly a decade at Tao/Lavo further contributing finesse, lunch began with Caesar Salad benefited by crisp Lettuce and handmade Croutons while Housemade Garlic Bread delighted many alongside five different Pizzas including the smoky-sweet Bianco and 3 Way Tomato Pie featuring locally grown Produce from Pahrump Valley Farms.

Forgoing Contorni on this occasion, save for perhaps braised Escarole beneath U8 Shrimp that will make lovers of Scampi swoon, additional Secondi consisted of Sin City’s most robustly flavored Meatballs on a bed of Fontina Cheese Polenta and Chicken Parmagiana that eats lighter than most thanks to vibrant Pomodoro.

Adding a trio of Pastas, Rigatoni alla Grappa with Spring Peas and Sundried Tomatoes riffing on Vodka Sauce with impressive results, fans of Gnocchi need look no further than Locale for the lightest Potato Dumplings in Las Vegas, their buoyancy a brilliant foil to slowly-simmered Tomatoes and Pork Ragu or classic Cacio e Pepe.

Doubling down on Dessert, no Bombolini but instead two types of Cake, Vegans will undoubtedly be thrilled by Oreo Cheesecake using dairy-free “Milk” and Pistachios for consistency while Omnivores can enjoy the same, or indulge in something even more delicious by ordering a moist yet crumbly slice of Yogurt Cake.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Locale Italian Kitchen continues to serve excellent Food made from local Ingredients at a price point that is more than generous, and under the leadership of Marc Marrone the Food only seems to be getting better with each subsequent order.

RECOMMENDED: Bianco Pizza, 3 Way Tomato Pie, Rigatoni alla Grappa, Sunday Sauce Gnocchi, Cacio e Pepe Gnocchi, Giant Prawn Scampi, Anita’s Meatballs, Yogurt Cake, Vegan Oreo Cheesecake.

AVOID: N/A.

David Wong’s Pan Asian [3,] Las Vegas NV

David Wong’s Pan Asian

Panang Curry – Beef, White Rice, Green Beans, Bell Peppers, Basil, Coconut Milk

Malaysian Yellow Curry – Beef, White Rice, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Onions, Bell Peppers, Peanuts, Coconut Milk

Basil Fried Rice – Shrimp, Chicken, Tomatoes, Onions, Garlic, Basil, Green Beans, Bell Peppers, Egg

Stir-Fried Linguini – Chicken, Asparagus, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Garlic, Basil, Onions

Pad See-Yew – Beef, Pan-fried Flat Noodles, Chinese Broccoli, Black Soybean Sauce, Egg

Pad See-Yew – Chicken, Pan-fried Flat Noodles, Chinese Broccoli, Black Soybean Sauce, Egg

Volcano Chicken – House Special Sauce, Green Onions, Lettuce

Pad Thai – Chicken, Pan-fried Rice Noodles, Bean Sprouts, Chives, Carrots, Peanuts, Egg

A true mom n’ pop business, he the business half while she does most of the cooking, it was as part of a group of six that Take-Out was ordered from David Wong’s Pan Asian on Saturday, the Restaurant’s inside now open with Social Distancing markers in place while to-go orders were carefully packed and ready by 11:30am as requested.

Well suited to work amidst COVID-19 restrictions, the small space having for years done brisk carry-out business, “Pan Asian” refers to an embrace of several styles of cooking ranging from Vietnamese to Malaysian to Thai, the menu having undergone many changes over the years but now largely dialed-in and augmented by daily Chef’s specials.

Available for delivery via third party applications, but easy to order via David Wong’s Website, it was after perusing the same thorough descriptions offered via double-sided laminate in-house that eight plates were picked, each providing plenty of Food despite prices that have only changed by a few pennies since 2011.

Opting for mild to medium spice levels, Lisa Wong’s idea of anything hotter deemed a bit much for this group, lunch started with Pan Asian’s signature “Volcano” Chicken, each breaded bite tangy but not *hot* while Stir-Fried Linguini dialed up the intensity while still maintaining balance thanks to Tomatoes and Asparagus.

Passing on Drunken Noodles this time, instead doubling down on Pad See-Yew with Chicken as well as Beef, fermented Black Beans played well off still-snappy Broccoli and slick Noodles while Malaysian Yellow Curry saw Steak stand out amidst Peanuts, Onions and two types of Potatoes

Again selecting Pad Thai, a generous portion that lacks Fish Sauce funk but still performs admirably, Basil Fried Rice remains a crowd pleaser with plump Shrimp and chunks of Chicken Breast hidden amidst tender Grains and Vegetables while Panang Curry with Beef offers bold aromatic notes and a finish that is subtly herbaceous.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: Tucked away in a tiny shopping plaza on South Durango Drive it is likely that many have driven past David Wong’s Pan Asian dozens of times without even noticing the Restaurant is there, and yet in reality the kitchen has been serving the West Side of Las Vegas for nearly nine years while amassing a large number of Chefs and industry folks who consider it a part of their regular dining rotation for good reason.

RECOMMENDED: Stir-Fried Linguini, Chicken Pad See Yew, Basil Fried Rice, Beef in Panang Curry.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Online ordering and phone-ins available, Open 11a-8:45p Monday through Saturday even though the website suggests they are open Sunday.

Peach Almond Croissant

Thrilled to #supportlocal with an office favorite, CRAFTkitchen once again catered lunch on Thursday, Chef Blinn predictably arriving early with all the necessary items and this time presenting attendees with a Latin-themed meal before heading to Utah and a weekend of coaching his son’s baseball team.

By no means a “Mexican” Restaurant, but nonetheless offering Meats such as Carnitas and Chorizo daily as part of Omelets, Bennys and more, it was around 11:20am that Jaret arrived porting several trays and bowls all maintained at appropriate temperatures, a build-your-own Taco bar particularly impressive thanks to condiments including housemade Guacamole, Lime Tortilla Chips, Pico de Gallo and Salsa.

Always well-portioned and fair-priced, a group of twenty-five getting their fill with plenty of leftovers packed to-go, it was beginning with aforementioned Tacos that several Hispanic employees praised both Tinga-style Chicken and slowly simmered Pork, the light acidity of each pairing nicely with mashed Avocados bright with Garlic plus julienned Radish, diced Onions and more.

Additionally impressing with Ceviche, each individual shooter chilled with Shrimp bathed in Citrus, it was after eyeing “Elote Dip” with skepticism that word quickly spread of it being delicious, all the flavors of Street Corn delivered amidst the texture of Korean Corn Cheese while CRAFTkitchen’s Beans and Rice also performed admirably.

Not about to forget Dessert, a platter of Chocolate Tres Leches plus two trays of Churros receiving universal praise, it was as an added bonus that four larger Baked Goods were provided, CRAFTkitchen’s signature Kouign Amann currently dressed in fresh Strawberries while two Cookies and an Almond Croissant stuffed with juicy Peaches were also textbook in terms of texture and a reminder of Jaret’s many years as an executive Pastry Chef from Bellagio to Red Rock.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone CRAFTkitchen has always gone the extra mile to assure off-site dining is every bit as delicious as inside the Restaurant on South Eastern, and in the era post-COVID 19 it will be that same dedication which draws guests back, reminding guests of what made Jaret and Tami’s place great to begin with.

RECOMMENDED: Elote Dip, Shrimp Ceviche, Chicken Tinga, Cilantro Lime Black Beans, Churros, Strawberry Kouign Amann, Peach Almond Croissant.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: See the website for sample catering items or contact the Restaurant directly with a budget and let them do what they do best.

Meraki Greek Grill Catering [3,] Las Vegas NV

Meraki Greek Grill

Greek Salad – Romaine Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Cucumber, Feta Cheese, Kalamata Olives, Pepperoncini, Greek Vinaigrette

Greek Rice

Tzatziki – Authentic Greek Yogurt, Cucumber, Garlic

Hummus – Garbanzo Beans, Tahini, Lemon

Pita

Chicken Gyro

Gyro – Carved Beef/Lamb Mix

Lettuce, Tomatoes, Red Onions (for Gyro Kit)

Keftedakia – Greek Style Grilled Meatballs, Ouzo, Herbs

Falafel – Chickpea Fritters, Herbs

Galaktoboureko – Phyllo Dough, Citrus Semolina Custard

Mama’s Rice Pudding – Bourbon Vanilla, Cinnamon

A part of Las Vegas for over three years, former Estiatorio Milos employee Nikos Georgousis and Girair ‘Jerry’ Goumroian of Henderson’s The Great Greek all-but rescuing the plaza on Rainbow at Tropicana in early 2017, it was amidst COVID-19 precautions that catering was ordered on Tuesday, and just as prior the experience was across-the-board exemplary.

Nothing less than an Off-Strip sensation since opening its doors, and pivoting nicely to off-site dining during the pandemic, it is with Phase Two that guests may opt for dine-in or to-go, Meraki’s servings always more than generous and prices so affordable that one sometimes wonders how the Restaurant is even making a profit.

Defined as “doing something with soul, creativity and love,” a spirit embodied by courteous employees taking all necessary precautions, it was at precisely 11:30am that Jerry arrived with several easy-stacking boxes containing temperature-control trays, this simple extra step guaranteeing Food is indistinguishable from that served inside the Restaurant in terms of quality.

Serving a diverse crowd on this occasion, but doing so with an impressive spread of Proteins, Produce and imported Ingredients, Hummus remains a highlight in terms of taste and texture while Keftedakia, or Greek-style Meatballs earned praise for bold flavors and a smooth grind with slight char accentuating the Herbs and Ouzo.

Asking for Feta and Dressing on the side of Meraki’s Greek Salad, both Olives and Yellow Peppers predictably devoured fast by staff, Greek Rice also received high praise for its fluffiness and flavor while the Gyro kit allowed ample customization of the Beef and Lamb Meat or Chicken with Tomatoes, Lettuce, Onion and tangy Tzatziki made with “authentic” Greek Yogurt.

Happy to find no shortage of Pita, soft and warm rounds gratuitously slathered with dueling Spreads, Vegetarians were further treated to crisp and oilless Falafel lightly perfumed by Onions, Herbs and Spices before diners delved into a pair of Desserts, Mama’s Rice Pudding winning over several Hispanics familiar with Arroz Con Leche while still-warm Galaktoboureko featuring Citrus Semolina Custard amidst Phyllo Dough remains arguably the best thing tasted yet in 2020.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Meraki Greek Grill offers budget-friendly, fresh and well-crafted Fare with impeccable customer service, Girair and his team’s attention to detail making Meraki Las Vegas’ premier off-Strip spot for Mediterranean cuisine for the last three years.

RECOMMENDED: Hummus, Tzatziki, Gyro, Keftedakia, Galaktoboureko, Rice Pudding.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Open 11-9 Tuesday through Saturday and until 8pm on Sunday. Full menu for on-site dining, takeout and catering accurate per the website. Follow on Social Media @merakigreeklv for specials.

Tacos El Compita #2, Las Vegas NV

Tacos El Compita #2

Birria de Chivo

QuesaBirria – Birria de Chivo, Salsa Verde, Onions, Corn Tortilla, Cheese, Birria Oil

Compita’s Nachos – Cabeza, Corn Tortilla Chips, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Pico de Gallo, Queso Fresco

Combinaction al Gusto – Lengua, Salsa Verde, Rice, Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado, Corn Tortillas

Combinaction al Gusto – Carne Asada, Salsa Roja, Rice, Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado, Corn Tortillas

Combinaction al Gusto – Pollo, Salsa Verde, Rice, Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado, Corn Tortillas

Combinaction al Gusto – Al Pastor, Salsa Roja, Rice, Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado, Corn Tortillas

Serving Las Vegas for over a decade, Tacos El Compita has earned a reputation as one of the spots Mexicans go for no-frills favorites, and although currently limited to take-out amidst COVID-19 precautions the Restaurant at 7622 Westcliff Drive is still pulling big crowds.

One of three current locations, a few miles west of the original at Charleston and Jones, it was minutes after 11:00am that nearly twenty guests were found waiting at six-foot social distance, markers on the floor assuring staff and customer safety while employees and guests were all clad in personal protective equipment.

Cash only and open at 8am, though credit cards can be used with long waits avoided by using online ordering, it was having prepaid that Food was ready by 11:15am, cooks working quiet at top speed while soccer played on a television in the background.

Carefully packed with Sauces and warm Tortillas on the side, the Salsa Bar currently closed for obvious reasons, it was ten minutes later at home that Styrofoam containers were opened, the smell of Peppers and Onions having already perfumed the car and first bites of Birria remarkably tender despite a fairly small portion of Meat compared to Bone.

Better off with El Compita’s signature “QuesaBirria,” available as Beef or Goat with plenty of melty Cheese inside a Tortilla griddled with Birria Oil, Compita’s Nachos also fare well with Chips standing up nicely to Cheek, Guac, Sour Cream, Pico de Gallo and Queso Fresco that was visibly seen microwaved prior to service.

Passing on the best-selling “5-Taco Plate,” instead allowing guests to build their own with four styles of Meat, it was only by request that Tortillas were included by busy Staff, and although the Beans and Rice are mostly forgettable the Tongue as well as Carne Asada are both great while Chicken and Pork are a step behind but also enjoyable.

THREE AND A HALF STARS: Well priced, and operating with customer safety in mind during the pandemic, Tacos El Compita #2 is best thought of as a stand or truck with brick-and-mortar boundaries, a no-frills experience that has its appeal but also suffers certain limitations.

RECOMMENDED: QuesaBirria, Compita’s Nachos, Cabeza, Lengua, Al Pastor.

AVOID: Birria de Chivo was 60% Bones and Staff would have included no Tortillas if not reminded.

TIP: Located at 7622 Westcliff Drive and currently open from 8a-9p daily. No website but menu and ordering available via Grubhub as well as Seamless.

Graffiti Bao Catering [7,] Las Vegas NV

Graffiti Bao

White Rice

Scallion Pancakes – Special Soy, Scallion Dressing

Burrata – Scallion Pancakes, Garlic Chili Sauce

Vietnamese Crab Fried Rice – Lump Crab, Thai Basil, Mint, Lime, Fish Sauce

Crispy Chili Garlic Noodles – Super Green Noodles, Crispy Garlic, Soy Sum, Chili Oil, Chicken

Spicy Sticky Fried Rice – Peanuts, Chili Peppers, Braised Duck, Yellow Curry

Chicken Egg Fried Rice – Roasted Chicken, Toasted Chili Sauce, Crispy Chicken Skin

Spicy Chili Eggplant – Thai Basil, Bell Pepper, Red Onion

Kung Pao Chicken Bao Buns – Natural Chicken, Bell Pepper, Chili Sauce

BBQ Pork Bao Buns – Sweet Soy, Chilis, Shiitake Mushrooms

Royale with Cheese Bao Buns – Angus Beef, Cheese, Pickles, Onions, Special Sauce

Braised Short Ribs – Chili Jam, Mint, Lime, Bao Buns on the side

Sweet Sesame Beef – Chinese Broccoli, Honey, Sesame Seeds

Mandarin Orange Duck – Red Onion, Bell Pepper, Orange Zest

Nutella Bao Buns

Started as a counter-service concept inside T-Mobile Arena, Graffiti Bao has been making itself known to Southwest Las Vegas since September 2019, the opportunity to cater Marc Marrone’s Food in February going over so well with staff that delivery from 7355 South Buffalo Drive has been requested six times since.

Previously discussing Chef Marrone’s background here, time with Tao Group unequivocally involved in Asian Cuisine capable of satisfying both discerning diners and folks that typically gravitate to Panda Express, it was at 11:20am that Graffiti Bao employees arrived with everything necessary, PPE in-place and safety never in question.

Opting for staff-favorites, in addition to new items from a list that offers far more diversity than its brevity suggests, Crab Rice was predictably the first stop for many, and although the funky Fish Sauce and restrained heat were once again highly praised Graffiti Bao’s Sweet Sesame Beef went just as quickly with the entire tray gone by the end of lunch.

Opting for Orange Duck this time, instead of Chicken, the quality of Graffiti Bao’s sourcing shows well from Protein to Produce, three styles of the Restaurant’s eponymous Buns satisfying diners on this day with the BBQ Pork a favorite for many but the Kung Pao Chicken and Pulp Fiction referencing Royale with Cheese also pretty tough not to love.

Neglecting White Rice to save stomach capacity for more interesting things, at least three whole Scallion Pancakes devoured including one order alongside Burrata and Garlic Chili Sauce, Crispy Chili Garlic Noodles won out over Lo Mein or Basil Chow Fun this time while a first time order of Marrone’s Braised Short Ribs with folded Bao actually incited an adoring e-mail from the sponsoring speaker.

Shifting off-menu, Marc’s Spicy Chili Eggplant living up to its name and praise thanks to Peppers, Onions, lightly sweet sauce plus plenty of Thai Basil, another new dish titled “Spicy Sticky Fried Rice” will hopefully find a spot on Graffiti Bao’s menu soon as Duck, Curry, Peanuts and Chilis marry beautifully with a great diversity of textures.

Finishing with Dessert Bao, but not before a scoop of Graffiti Bao’s Fried Rice with crispy Chicken Skins, it was with several staff members packing leftovers that the afternoon passed quickly while already looking forward to the next time Marc and his team come to lunch.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Graffiti Bao sets a very high standard in terms of customer service, while every Item across five orders has been nicely presented, displaying “Fusion” without being compromised and appealing to a broad range of diners.

RECOMMENDED: Scallion Pancakes, Burrata, Royale with Cheese Bao Buns, BBQ Pork Bao Buns, Sweet Sesame Beef, Crispy Chili Garlic Noodles, Spicy Sticky Fried Rice, Chicken Egg Fried Rice, Braised Short Ribs, Mandarin Orange Duck.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Southwest location is open: Monday through Saturday from 11:00am to 9:30pm and Sunday from 11:00am to 9:00pm. Follow @GraffitiBao for specials including Industry discounts and community support projects during the pandemic.

Metro Pizza Catering [5,] Las Vegas NV

Metro Pizza Catering

Chopped Italian Salad with Ranch Dressing and Italian Dressing

The Metro – Thick Crust, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Extra Mozzarella Cheese

86th Street Square Pie – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil, Old School Pepperoni

Brooklyn Jr – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil

Zamboni Pizza – Sausage, Old School Pepperoni, Roasted Red Peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey, Mozzarella Cheese

Pepperoni Pizza – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni

Old New York – Thick Sliced Mozzarella Cheese, Italian Tomato Sauce, Basil

Triple Play – Thin Crust, Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Triple-Portion Chicago Sausage

Meatball Sliders – Melted Provolone, Fresh-Baked Garlic Knots

Ziti – Meat Sauce

Serving Las Vegas for nearly forty years one might well assume Metro Pizza has the delivery game down to a science, and even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic John Arena and Sam Facchini’s Pizzeria remains irreproachable in terms of customer service.

Featuring locations North, South, East and West, with the catering department now back online, it was minutes prior to 11:30am that delivery arrived porting Food, utensils, plates and condiments, each carefully packaged such that Salad was chilled with everything else piping-hot.

Suitable for almost any budget, though late-2019 changes have created a more concise menu, it was focused on old favorites plus one surprisingly un-tasted options that seven Pies plus Knots, Salad and Pasta were received for under $15 per guest, the all-inclusive cost predictably yielding enough for all plus an assortment of leftovers.

Now the twelfth time delivering to this office, in addition to a dozen or more visits to locations on Decatur, Horizon Ridge or Sky Pointe, it was beginning with Salad that many once again praised Metro’s duo of housemade Dressings, though those more concerned with eating while Food was still temperature appropriate predictably went straight for familiar Pepperoni or the “Zamboni” Pizza complete with two Meats, Roasted Peppers and a generous drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey.

Moving next to Meatballs, the combination of Pork and Beef with almost no binder sandwiched between fresh-baked Garlic Buns, it was a little surprising that staff largely passed on Metro’s Old New York given its classic composition, though “The Metro” with extra Cheese and square-cut “Triple Play” beneath a mountain of Sausage stood no chance and were quickly devoured.

Not about to pass by 86th Street, the cold-fermented Sicilian remaining defiantly light despite its thickness even after traveling ten miles, the offering of “Brooklyn Jr.” allowed those who inexplicably “don’t like” Pepperoni to also get their fill while Ziti topped in Meat Sauce is a simple but enjoyable Italian-American classic.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there is a reason John and Sam have been successfully serving Las Vegas for so long, a good part of it skill and doing things the right way, but also by focusing on the customer to deliver on their promises no matter how big or small the budget.

RECOMMENDED: 86th Street Square Pie, Meatball Sliders, Zamboni, Old New York, Chopped Salad.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Company [2,] Las Vegas NV

Chocolate Chip Cookie Company

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Sugar Cookie

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

Cinnamon and Sugar Cookie

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie

Toffee Chocolate Chip 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 noon till six o’clock or later Thursday through Sunday giving guests a chance to see the facility and take home one or more of several flavors.

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 four-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 Oatmeal Raisin, the only Cookie from this batch not tasted last May, suffice it to say the result is textbook chewy with oodles of nostalgia while White Chocolate Macadamia Nut wins guests over by way of mellow sweetness and toasty spots in juxtaposition to sugary Toffee Chocolate Chip that is also slightly salty and varied 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 delightfully moist, fans of simplicity may instead favor Sugar on its own, and thanks to the combination of skill and Ingredients these too are delicious.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: Although unlikely to get a lot of foot traffic at the back of an off-strip industrial complex the wife and husband team behind Chocolate Chip Cookie Company are quickly making a name for themselves thanks to a “do one thing and do it well” spot featuring locally-made rounds in a variety of flavors.

RECOMMENDED: Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cinnamon and Sugar Cookie, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Open 12:00pm to 6:00pm Thursday through Sunday, and taking orders all-week long via the website. Available via delivery with GrubHub.

Locale Italian Kitchen [4,] Las Vegas NV

Locale Italian Kitchen

Locale Caesar – Caesar Dressing, Romaine Lettuce, Parmesan Cheese, Ciabatta Croutons

Watermelon Salad – Mint, Orange, Citrus Vinaigrette

Shrimp Rigatoni – Shrimp, Bianco Tomato Sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano

Cacio e Pepe Gnocchi – Black Pepper, Pecorino Romano

Roasted Heirloom Carrots – Brown Butter, Honey, Sage, Pistachios

Polenta – Fontina Cheese, Cracked Black Pepper, Olive Oil

6oz Dry-Aged Angus Beef Burger – Housemade Sesame Bun, House Pickles, Gem Lettuce, Pickled Peppers, House Burger Sauce

With Graffiti Bao’s Marc Marrone now leading Locale Italian Kitchen for over a month, two #supportlocal lunches far outpacing that which was received in April, July 4th provided a great opportunity to celebrate at home with family, Burgers, Salad and Pasta.

Still a shock to some, James Beard Foundation semifinalist for Best Chef Southwest Nicole Brisson departing the Restaurant she helped build less than ten months in, it was via communication with owner Andy Hooper and General Manager Paulo Duran that lunch was coordinated, a total of seven items in portions more than suitable for sharing.

Making good use of the holiday weekend, a special “Grill Kit” including take-and-make Burgers supplementing Locale’s Phase Two menu, it was with great care that Patties of Dry-Aged Beef were kissed by fire, the fine grind sporting big flavors nicely paired to housemade Buns, Vegetables, Sauce and Pickles.

A mix of regional Italian plates and Chef Marrone’s family recipes, nearly a decade at Tao/Lavo further contributing finesse, Salads benefited from crisp Lettuce and handmade Crotons on the classic Caesar while Watermelon and Citrus was bright and refreshing amidst Las Vegas’ 100ᵒF temperatures.

Specially requesting Sin City’s best Gnocchi, in this case dressed in Cheese and Black Pepper for a Pork-averse guest, suffice it to say that the tender Dumplings received across-the-board praise while Rainbow Carrots saw diners return for a second helping thanks to herbs, subtle sweetness and the textural contrast of crumbled Pistachios.

Professionally packed and temperature appropriate, nearly two pounds of Polenta yielding leftovers despite a strong desire to continue eating past satiety, Shrimp on this occasion came with Rigatoni and vibrant Tomato Sauce – a combination not quite so delicious as the spicy Fra Diavolo usually offered, but nonetheless displaying great Ingredients and accessibility to a diversity of palates.

FIVE STARS: Locale Italian Kitchen continues to serve excellent Food made from local Ingredients at a price point that is more than generous, and although some will lament the departure of Chef Brisson it seems safe to say Marc Marrone’s skill set and work ethic are well-suited to make believers out of both fans and skeptics.

RECOMMENDED: Roasted Heirloom Carrots, Cacio e Pepe Gnocchi, Polenta, 6oz Dry-Aged Angus Beef Burger.

Big B’s Texas BBQ Catering [7,] Las Vegas NV

Big B’s Texas BBQ

Side Salad

BBQ Beans

Mac & Cheese

Lean Brisket, Fatty Brisket, Smoked Turkey

Beef Hot Links

Cornbread

Pecan Pie

Big B’s Texas BBQ opened its second location just prior to Halloween 2019, and on Thursday during Phase Two of Las Vegas’ COVID-19 re-opening plan the Restaurant at 6115 South Fort Apache Road showed again why any discussion of local smoked Meat has began and ended with Brian and Natalia’s brand since 2016.

Named after its Pit Master, and changing the long-held belief that Las Vegas is not a Barbeque town ever since the original opened in Henderson, Big B’s Texas BBQ features the work of Brian Buechner and Natalia Badzjo, the husband and wife team taking a hands-on approach to every aspect of the operation from build-out to driving in fresh piles of wood as needed from the Lone Star State.

Open from 11:00am until 9:00pm daily at Suite 110 of 6115 South Fort Apache Road, and Sin City’s best place for Barbecue ever since the original debuted in January 2016, it was ten minutes prior to lunch that the smell of Big B’s Texas BBQ began to drift down the hallway, staff quick to arrive for what was once again an overabundance of smoked Meat, Dessert and Sides.

Already an office favorite, and even more convenient since “II” opened down the street, guests this afternoon found familiar favorites hot and fresh, the inclusion of all necessary plates, utensils and serviceware a given just as has always been the case.

Currently available for dine-in and take-out, COVID-19 precautions seeing all employees clad in PPE, it was really no surprise when Macaroni and Cheese as well as Hot Links were quickly depleted, with a pair of gooey Pecan Pies soon to follow.

Texas through and through, wood driven up from the Lone Star State just one reason why Big B’s Brisket and Turkey outpace growing competition, the choice of lean versus moist generally sees the former go first at this office, though thanks to a deeply penetrating ring of smoke sees both live up to high standards.

Not about to forget Sin City’s best BBQ Beans, or a large Salad requested by some, suffice it to say Rolls were underutilized with several leftover, not because they aren’t good but more so as a result of the abundance of Cornbread that seems to get better and better with time.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone it was a disastrous lunch from Famous Dave’s that got the #supportlocal idea going in May of 2018, Big B’s Texas BBQ immediately stepping up and becoming a go-to both then and now with the experience never less than exemplary.

RECOMMENDED: Fatty Brisket, Hot Links, Smoked Turkey, Cornbread, BBQ Beans, Pecan Pie.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Now open 11:00am to 9:00pm daily at Suite 110 of 6115 South Fort Apache Road, call (702) 844-8206 for take-out and the city’s best dollar-for-dollar catering value.

Purple Potato Sweets, Las Vegas NV

Purple Potato Sweets

Buko Pie

Ube Pastillas Crinkles

Ube Polvoron Donuts with Ube Flan Filling

Ube Cheesecake

Ube Monster Cookie with White Chocolate Chips and Cashews

Nutella Monster Cookie with Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Chip Walnut Ube Fudge Monster Cookie

Named after a popular crop in the Philippines, and a favorite nutritious snack of Chef Ramir Bolanos DeCastro, Purple Potato unfortunately shut its doors in the middle of 2019, the closure after just 21 months largely a result of location rather than Food as the healthy Bowls and quick-casual Sandwiches were almost universally well-received.

Now a year older and wiser, SARS-CoV-2 having entirely reshaped an Off-Strip dining scene that Chef Ramir helped to initiate with Yonaka in early 2013, Purple Potato recently reemerged as an online shop featuring the Restaurant’s signature “Monster Cookies” alongside other Ube-based treats and Filipino Pastries.

Well-priced and delivered free to Las Vegas as well as Henderson, this day’s order acting as Breakfast for an office of twenty-five, it was prior to 7:15am that Ramir arrived porting several boxes, items including the Young Coconut Pie still-warm from the oven with subtle sweetness and a beautiful mélange of textures.

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 buttery Crinkle Cookies topped with Ube Candy plus bright purple Cheesecake, while those in need of a Donut fix will find lots to love about Paczki-like pockets rolled in Cake crumbles and filled with Ube Custard.

Onward to an old favorite, each Monster Cookie weighing in at 10oz, current choices consist of Ube with White Chocolate and Cashew Chips or Chocolate Chip with a molten Nutella center, though with more flavors since debuting the day’s best was Chocolate Chip Walnut Ube Fudge that eats crisp around the edges and soft at the center with bitter contrasting sweet and no two bites quite the same.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone it is great to have Purple Potato back in any format, and although Sushi, Bowls and Wraps are currently not offered Chef Ramir Bolanos DeCastro’s Desserts are better than ever with no lack of creativity and bargain pricing, plus free delivery.

RECOMMENDED: Buko Pie, Ube Pastillas Crinkles, Ube Polvoron Donuts, Ube Monster Cookie, Chocolate Chip Walnut Ube Fudge Monster Cookie.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: COVID-19 precautions are followed with touch-free delivery available for free on all orders over $30.

Johnny C’s Diner Catering [3,] Las Vegas NV

Johnny C’s Diner Catering

Chef’s Seasonal Market Salad – Garden Greens, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Watermelon, Citrus Vinaigrette

Caesar Salad – Romaine Lettuce, Parmesan Cheese, Brioche Croutons, Housemade Caesar Dressing

Brown Butter Cornbread – Plugra Honey Butter

Housemade Potato Chips

Housemade Dill Pickles, Housemade Bread & Butter Pickles

LJ3 Sliders – Onion, American Cheese, Special Sauce, Housemade Pickles

Crispy Chicken Tenders – BBQ Sauce, Hot Sauce, Housemade Ranch Dressing

Banana Bread French Toast – Bourbon Figs, Brown Butter Pecans, Whipped Cream Cheese

Having previously discussed Johnny C’s Diner here, plus two faultless catering gigs, it was an honor to call on Chef Church and his team for another #supportlocal Lunch on Tuesday, Sous Chef Sam Brooks again arriving on time with a bounty of items carefully packed and temperature appropriate from fifteen minutes away.

All-in approximately $20 per diner, a cost more than warranted by quality Produce and portions that guaranteed several staff members also went home with dinner, it was from a mix of new and previously tasted Plates that lunch was constructed, Johnny’s Seasonal Market Salad now leaning into Summer with Cucumbers, Watermelon and Tomatoes while the Caesar succeeds in its simplicity thanks to creamy Dressing, handmade Croutons and the best Organic Lettuce available in Las Vegas.

Again including two containers of housemade Pickles, delicious on their own and better atop “LJ3 Sliders” matching Beef griddled medium to Cheese and Special Sauce, those seeking Sin City’s best Chicken Strips no longer need to settle for Cane’s as Johnny C’s uses premium Poultry with a bold spice rub and brining to create something crispy, moist and complex even before a dip in one of five Sauces.

Specifically requesting Chef Church’s Cornbread, a whole tray of the Brown Butter and Sour Cream stunner arriving alongside two sticks of Honey-soaked Plugra Butter, hand-cut Potato Chips also proved popular while Dessert consisted of the upcoming menu’s Banana Bread French Toast with crumbled Pecans, whipped Cream Cheese and boozy Figs.

RECOMMENDED: Chef’s Seasonal Market Salad, Housemade Dill Pickles, Potato Chips, Brown Butter Cornbread, LJ3 Slider’s, Banana Bread French Toast.

AVOID: Staff say the Hot Sauce was weak, but it was plenty spicy for this Midwesterner.

Off The Hook Fish N’ Chips [3,] Las Vegas NV

Off The Hook

Onion Rings – Whiskey and Beer Batter

Vegan Sweet Potato Fries

French Fries

Cajun Catfish Bites – Cornmeal Breading, Cajun Spice

Hushpuppies

Loaded Mahi Mahi Fries – Grilled Mahi Mahi, French Fries, Cole Slaw, Pico de Gallo, Spicy Housemade Thai Sauce

Wild Caught Alaskan Cod – Gluten Free Batter

Pacific White Fish – Gluten Free Batter

Reared Catholic on the Great Lakes it was for Lent every year that Fish-frys overtook Friday night, local Churches offering up whatever random White Fish they could find after depleting Perch or Walleye, but here decades later it was for lunch on Saturday that five friends gathered at home to enjoy a freshly fried spread from Off The Hook.

Originally visited in early 2017, and prior to Easter a year later, it is just south of Flamingo on Buffalo Drive that guests will see street signs suggesting “Fish N’ Chips,” neighbor KoMex Fusion now gone but Babystacks nearby still doing brisk business even with 50% inside seating thanks to Covid-19 precautions.

Ordered in advance, GrubHub and Yelp! both offering deals on Food that is already well-priced, it was just prior to Off The Hook’s 12:00pm opening that doors were found open, the owner arriving early to prepare and package eight items that remained hot and crispy for the 8-minute drive home.

More than just “Fish N’ Chips,” laminated menus and chalkboard specials even suggesting some Vegan or Gluten-Free choices, it was with Styrofoam clamshells and cardboard boats wrapped in plastic plus paper bags that several pounds were unpacked, Hushpuppies dense but not greasy while Cajun Catfish Bites were meaty beneath a dusting of Cornmeal and just a bit of heat.

Hand-breading and frying a wide variety of items to order, line-caught Cod dubbed “Premium” outpacing Pacific White Fish that seemed a little flaccid, it was with a splash of Malt Vinegar that filets each proved bountiful and tender, though Onion Rings previously found under-cooked were this time fried a few minutes too long.

Not forgetting “Chips,” or in this case the English equivalent, it remains uncertain as to what makes Sweet Potatoes “Vegan” in comparison to Yukon Gold, but either way the Orange spears amongst Sin City’s best while the regular Spuds are available with a number of toppings, though it seems hard to believe any are better than grilled Mahi Mahi, vibrant Vegetables and Housemade Thai Sauce.

FOUR STARS: Taking all the necessary safety precautions for dine-in and take-out, Off The Hook remains a worthwhile stop for those looking for good fried Fish and French Fries while the menu offers enough variety that everyone can probably find something they’ll enjoy.

RECOMMENDED: Vegan Sweet Potato Fries, Hushpuppies, Loaded Mahi Mahi Fries, Cajun Catfish Bites, Wild Caught Alaskan Cod.

AVOID: Onion Rings were over-fried, White Fish was a bit limp.

TIP: Currently operating noon to 8:00pm Monday through Saturday, and until 6:00pm Sunday.

Pain au Raisin

Apricot Custard Danish

Unquestionably Las Vegas’ top choice for French Pastry over the past five years, Rosallie Le French Café is back operating with strict safety measures amidst Phase Two of Nevada’s reopening, and just like prior a #supportlocal Breakfast on Thursday saw Christophe assemble a remarkable spread of items both sweet and savory.

Easily arranged through owner Jonathan Pluvinet via ‘Le French Café’s’ e-mail, a budget of $15 per guest yielding enough quality cuisine to feed twice the office’s number of staff, it was by 7:10am that all items were delivered and carefully arranged, Sandwiches and Tartines still warm as were several Pastries.

Also serving Salad and Charcuterie, Rosallie’s Salade Fraiche an office favorite amongst those who strive to eat healthy, it was after indulging in dried Sausage, Paris Ham, and creamy Brie that Tartine L’Espagnole was split and traded for half of a French Toast Breakfast Sandwich loaded with Meat plus Cheese and dripping with Syrup.

Making short work of Jonathan’s World class Walnut Tarte, first the half served as part of the Country Plate and another whole one several hours later, there was no delay in devouring an Almond Croissant still-oven-fresh and better than most in Europe, while versions enhanced by Nutella and Raspberries are also delicious.

No Bostock this time, Blueberries instead found dotting an all-new Muffin that is also offered sporting Cinnamon Apples, Fruit is equally well utilized in Danishes ranging from Peach and Apricot to a truly mesmerizing version that eats akin to Cheesecake topped in Cherry Compote and Almonds.

Happy to share two more Tartes, both Nutella and Pear juxtaposing housemade Almond Paste inside a delicate Shell, Rosallie’s Cinnamon Roll continues to take the American favorite in an entirely new direction by making it light and airy via laminated Dough while two varieties of Madeline seem more worthy of Proust’s adoration with each visit.

Rounding out the afternoon with crispy layers of lamination, a lengthy Twist with Confectioner’s Sugar joining Butter or Cinnamon Palmiers, be sure not to sleep on Rosallie’s Raisin Snail that has emerged recently as one of the Café’s best items thanks to shattering edges surrounding a soft interior rife with Butter.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone,from the day Jonathan Pluvinet opened Rosallie on South Rainbow the need to visit Las Vegas Blvd for great French Pastry vanished, and although competition has sprouted up none are in the same class as what he and former Jean-Philippe maestro Christophe are baking daily.

RECOMMENDED: French Toast Breakfast Sandwich, Tartine L’Espagnole, Walnut Tarte, Pear Tarte, Almond Croissant, Cinnamon Roll, Pain au Raisin, Cherry Custard with Pastry Cream Danish, Almond Raspberry Croissant.

AVOID: N/A

TIP: Currently 7a-2p daily. Call or e-mail Info@rosallie.com ahead for pre-orders or catering and consider Yelp! (Grubhub) on-line delivery for smaller orders if you can’t make it to the store.

Locale Italian Kitchen Catering [3,] Las Vegas NV

Locale Italian Kitchen

Verde Pizza – White Sauce, Mushrooms, Pickled Peppers, Mozzarella Cheese, Pesto

Bianco Pizza – Charred Red Onions, Rosemary, Ricotta, Pistachio, Honey, Porchetta

Gem & Kale Chop Salad – Red Leaf Kale, Pickled Peppers, Cucumbers, Shallots, Roasted Tomato Dressing, Fontina Cheese

Oven Baked Garlic & Mozzarella Bread – Homemade Pomodoro Sauce (side)

Broccolini – Preserved Lemon, Garlic, Limoncello Vinaigrette

Sunday Sauce Gnocchi – Herbs, Olive Oil, Nana’s Slow Cooked Pork Ragu, Pecorino, Parmesan Cheese

Giant Prawn Scampi – Grilled Lemon, Escarole, Pinot Grigio, Garlic

Rigatoni Bolognese – Beef & Pork Ragu, Bianco Tomato Sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano

Seafood Fra Diavolo – ‘Nduja, Rigatoni, Scallops, Squid, Octopus, Calabrian Chili, Di Napoli Tomato

Anita’s Meatballs – Calabrese Peppers, Chris Bianco’s Tomatoes, Polenta

Housemade Bombolini – Cinnamon-Sugar, Nutella

With Graffiti Bao’s Marc Marrone now leading Locale Italian Kitchen for over a month, his previous #supportlocal lunch far outpacing that which was received in April, Tuesday’s delivery from partner Andy Hooper further raised the bar.

Now established as a cornerstone of southwest Las Vegas near Mountains Edge, an area long in need of culinary destinations, Phase Two of Nevada’s reopening sees Locale offering dine-in and take-away from Tuesday through Sunday, the menu further evolving and now “closer to the Restaurant’s original vision” according to those involved.

Again allowing Chef Marc and General Manager Paulo Duran to select the catering menu, a mix of regional Italian with family recipes at bargain prices considering both Ingredients and portions, it was at 11:20am that several trays and boxes were delivered, some new dishes alongside old favorites tallying eleven items total.

Professionally packed and temperature appropriate, Locale’s Chop Salad making Kale appealing via smoky Tomato Dressing plus Shallots and Peppers, suffice it to say that housemade Garlic & Mozzarella Bread went quickly while Pizzas achieved balance despite complexity, “Bianco” particularly delectable with added Porchetta in salty contrast to Ricotta, Honey and Pistachios.

Truly a pillar of the community, Marc’s involvement in “Delivering with Dignity” not slowing down one bit despite his leadership of three Restaurants, those who’ve tried any of Graffiti Bao’s Vegetables will be unsurprised that Locale’s Broccolini sees each piece snappy and full of flavor while U8 Shrimp atop Escarole rethink Scampi to let the Crustacean shine instead of being muted by Garlic.

Adding a trio of Pastas, spicy Seafood served on Rigatoni rather than Black Spaghetti for the sake of catering, fans of Gnocchi need look no further than Locale for the lightest Potato Dumplings in Las Vegas, their buoyancy a brilliant foil to slowly-simmered Tomatoes and Pork replicating Nana’s Sunday Gravy.

Giving Anita credit for one of Sin City’s most robustly flavored Meatballs, the thick bed of Fontina Cheese Polenta and Sauce with some Heat building a true “Secondi” out of something usually offered as a Side Dish, Rigatoni Bolognese thankfully appears unchanged from Nicole Brisson’s tenure while Bombolini with the lightness of Malasada are as delicious on their own as they are dipped in Nutella.

RECOMMENDED: Broccolini, Bianco Pizza, Rigatoni Bolognese, Sunday Sauce Gnocchi, Giant Prawn Scampi, Anita’s Meatballs, Housemade Bombolini.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Follow @localelv on Social Media for hours, updates and menu…and check out their July 4th Grill Kit for another way to celebrate at home.

Foretold by the drawing of eleven-year-old Jared Weiss in 1983, and a dream fulfilled alongside cousin Mitch Kane, Cousins New York Pizza & Pasta opened in early May, its location in the West Flamingo shopping complex just off I-215 providing convenient access to Westsiders who likely know the area thanks to LVAC, Starbucks or Target.

An area with no shortage of eateries, local favorites like Lindo Michoacan and Rollin Smoke alongside the likes of Popeyes and Cinnaholic, it is beneath a freshly-hung banner that guests will find Cousins, a well-designed space currently offering socially-distanced seating and friendly staff taking all the necessary Food and personal safety precautions.

A tribute to the Big Apple, Cousins’ story told on the walls surrounding checkered-tablecloth tables, it was with greetings and thanks from Jared that five boxes and two bags were picked-up, curbside or door-to-door delivery also an option for those still leery about dining in.

Thus far a concise menu, New York-style Pies and Italian-American entrées easily customized via Cousins website or smartphone app, lunch began with Garlic Bread and Knots with a side of Marinara , the homemade Loaf soft and splendid beneath dueling Cheeses while the six small balls were unfortunately under-proofed and thus a little tough.

Moving next to a pair of Calzones, both under $10 and stuffed to bursting, it was after a dip in vibrant housemade Sauce that taste and texture set a high standard, the “Classic” with added Pepperoni luxuriously creamy while a Vegetarian version requested without Olives was more heterogeneous thanks to a mélange of roasted Mushrooms, Onions, Artichokes, and bursting Cherry Tomatoes.

Not about to pass on Pizza, two rounds and a Grandma-style rectangle divided amongst seven hungry guests, it was on the word of a trusted local Chef that Cheese Pizza “well done” displayed a crisp base with developed yeastiness beneath nothing more than Sauce and Mozzarella, the “Sicilian” something of a misnomer but nonetheless delicious thanks to its balance of natural Sugars and fresh Basil while “Palermo” stole the spotlight with spicy Calabrian Sausage, sliced Tomatoes and Eggplant.

FOUR STARS: Referencing the 5 Boroughs in terms of name as well as style, Cousins New York Pizza & Pasta will surely please those who romanticize the late-night street corner “Slice,” and although the Ingredient quality may not match Las Vegas’ upper-echelon of Pizzerias the price is more than fair while customer service and safety are most-certainly priorities.

RECOMMENDED: Garlic Bread, Cheese Pizza, Palermo Pizza, Vegetarian Calzone.

AVOID: Garlic Knots.

TIP: Located on the South side of West Flamingo, at 9773 West Flamingo Road Suite 2. Call 702-333-0086, check the website or download their convenient App to order.
