Salted Caramel Cookie

Self-appointed “The Best Restaurant in the Entire Galactic System,” this writer’s previous experiences tell a mixed story of SkinnyFATS – one of good Food and questionable catering that seems to be improving thanks to the recent involvement of Graffiti Bao’s Marc Marrone.

Debuted during summer 2013 right here in Las Vegas, and since expanding via franchising to Texas as well as Utah, SkinnyFATS promises guests an opportunity to “Live Healthy, Live Happy,” every item on the menu’s left half under 600 kcals while those on the right are more hearty.

Still a work-in-progress as relates to Chef Marrone’s ideas, owner Reed Slobusky’s Salads, Cookies and Sandwiches still comprising much of the menu, it was from the hands of a 30-minute-late delivery-man that ten items were delivered, “Yummus” a bit thin but paired to soft Pita while “Smoke in a Bowl” delighted those who sought Salad to achieve their “summer body.”

Next taking a bite of the “Meltdown,” a Patty Melt punched up by Provolone and Caramelized Onions, those familiar with Chef Marrone’s work at Locale Italian Kitchen will be unsurprised that Vegetarian Arancini titled “Balls” are exemplary while “Blaze of Thunder” takes aim at Nashville Hot Chicken before taming the heat with Slaw and a sweetened Bun.

Keeping things lighter with SkinnyFATS “Cranburky” Burger, half a pound of lean Turkey on a Wheat Bun with Holoday-inspired accoutrements, it was after two handfuls of Fries that three types of Cookie competed for the spotlight before finishing up with texturally-flawless Banana Pudding.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Chef Marc Marrone’s involvement at SkinnyFATS adds yet another concept to his cadre, and although the menu will continue to evolve there is no doubt every aspect of the Restaurant will benefit from the Graffiti Bao team’s skills and diligence.

RECOMMENDED: Meltdown, Balls, Salted Caramel Cookie, Banana Pudding.

AVOID: N/A.

Prawn & Pork Spring Rolls – Plum Sauce

Szechuan Beef Bao Buns – Angus Beef, Szechuan Peppers, Scallions

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

Nutella Bao Buns

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 on time Monday that a Graffiti Bao employee arrived with everything necessary, professionalism and safety never in question.

Opting for old favorites from a menu that offers far more diversity than its brevity suggests, the Graffiti Burger was predictably the first stop for many, and although the tender Meat and fresh Toppings were highly praised Graffiti Bao’s Chicken Fried Rice remains a fan-favorite thanks to toasted Chiles and bits of fried Skin on top.

Onward to Green Beans slicked with Honey, the quality of Graffiti Bao’s sourcing shows well from Protein to Produce, five styles of the Restaurant’s eponymous Buns satisfying diners on this day with the BBQ Pork a favorite for many but the Pulp Fiction referencing Royale with Cheese also pretty tough not to enjoy.

Neglecting White Rice to save stomach capacity for better things, at least three whole Scallion Pancakes devoured over the course of an hour, Marrone’s Braised Short Ribs with folded Bao saw a whole tray emptied nearly as quickly.

Rounding out the allotment with Crispy Wings and Spring Rolls, the latter often overlooked but amongst the best of their kind thanks to an oilless exterior housing plenty of meat and flavor, it was with plenty of Leftovers packed that staff was sated and already looking forward to the next time Graffiti Bao is ordered.

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 28 orders has been nicely presented, displaying “Fusion” without being compromised and appealing to a broad range of diners.

RECOMMENDED: Scallion Pancakes, Royale with Cheese Bao Buns, BBQ Pork Bao Buns, Chicken Egg Fried Rice, Braised Short Ribs, Sticky Green Beans, Prawn and Pork Spring Rolls, Graffiti Burger, The Bao Dog.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Southwest location is open Monday through Sunday from 11:00am to 8:00pm. Follow @GraffitiBao for specials including those at the re-opened original in T-Mobile Arena and up in Utah.

Carbone [2,] Las Vegas NV

Carbone

Pecorino Cheese

Prosecco

Spicy Pepperoni

Marinated Cauliflower

Semolina Sesame Seed Bread, Garlic Bread, Pizza Focaccia

Carpaccio Piemontese – Mushrooms, Chives, Arugula, Olive Oil, Walnut, Truffle

Tuna Calabrese – White Wine, Calabrian Chiles, Shallots, Lemon

Spicy Rigatoni Vodka – Onion Soubise, San Marzano Tomatoes, Calabrian Chiles

Gemelli di Rabe – Ground Pepper, Garlic, Spicy Sausage

Potatoes Louie – Olive Oil, Pickled Tomato, Scallions, Vermouth, Rosemary

Pork Chop & Peppers – Cherry Peppers, Garlic, White Wine

Veal Parmesan – Marinara Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Basil

Nutella Crunch Cake – Chocolate Cake, Hazelnut Cream, Chocolate Ganache, Candied Hazelnuts, Vanilla Gelato

Carrot Cake – Cream Cheese Frosting, Candied Pecans, Vanilla Gelato

Double Espresso

Tricolor Cookies

Now part of the Las Vegas dining landscape for seven years Carbone can safely be called an unabashed success, Rich Torrisi. Mario Carbone and Jeff Zalaznick’s homage to Italian-American Restaurants of the mid-20th century still proving a tough reservation thanks to classic Cuisine and tableside showmanship.

No doubt a splashy space, the Manhattan original channeled for much of the lavish interior that stretches from Bar to high-backed booths and velvet curtains in the dining room, service is highly polished yet friendly thanks to industry vets like James Muscaglione and bussers that are ubiquitous but unobtrusive.

Clearly trying to evoke a bygone era with Rat Pack classics playing a bit too loudly, the bar moreso than elsewhere, it is before menus are even delivered that complimentary bites begin to arrive, the acid-soaked Cauliflower simple yet refreshing while Cured Meat alongside three Breads were all quite delicious – the saucy Focaccia particularly quite addictive.

Unrepentant in terms of opulence, hand-painted plates and big chandeliers all part of the show, Appetizers were deferred to the captain who chose Carpaccio Piemontese and Tuna Calabrese instead of a Caesar or Clams, the former riffing on Giuseppe Cipiani’s original with added texture while cubes of spicy Tuna outpaced the quality of all but Sin City’s best Sushi bars.

Breaking the menu down into four-courses, though tableside presentations occasionally see things slightly more staggered, Macaroni recommendations predictably include Carbone’s heralded Spicy Rigatoni Vodka though thick double-stranded Gemelli di Rabe with housemade Sausage is actually even better thanks to Greens rendered to the consistency of Pesto.

Onward to Secondi, the Pork Chop & Peppers undoubtedly channeling Mario’s time with another Mario at Babbo, guests enticed by the famous fried Veal Chop will be happy to know that the substantial tab is justified by both size and peerless execution while Potatoes Louie take Anna a level up with crackling edges and a fluffy center.

Enjoying well priced Prosecco and Barolo with the meal and a double Espresso to finish Dessert at Carbone offers several choices, the Tiramisu and Cheesecake undoubtedly most popular but the Carrot Cake outpacing any other in terms of style and spicing while recently-added Nutella Crunch Cake should please Chocolate lovers before the arrival of complimentary Rainbow Cookies.

FOUR STARS: As it always has Carbone offers a rarefied dining experience well-suited to New York, Miami and Las Vegas where prices are often subject to tourists with deep pockets, but unlike many imports the focus on Ingredients, service and style is uncompromised to create a Restaurant greater than the sum of its parts.

RECOMMENDED: Pizza Focaccia, Tuna Calabrese, Gemelli di Rabe, Pork Chop & Peppers, Veal Parmesan, Carrot Cake, Tricolor Cookies.

AVOID: NA, though the bar area gets very loud.

TIP: 5:30p-10:30p daily, reservation required unless an hour plus wait for the bar is acceptable.

Wicked Donuts [7,] Las Vegas NV

Wicked Donuts

Original Glazed Raised Donut – Vanilla Bean Glaze

Bella Nutella Cake Donut – Nutella Icing, Toasted Hazelnuts, Chocolate Sprinkles

Maple Bacon Donut – Maple Icing, Crispy Bacon

Guava Cheesecake Donut – Pie Crust Crumble, Caramel Drizzle

Caramel Sutra Raised Donut – Salted Caramel Glaze, Caramel Crème Center, Caramel Popcorn

Mojito Lime & Mint Raised Donut – Lime and Mint Glaze

Maple Iced Raised Donut – Maple Icing

Pink Lady Raised Donut – Granulated Sugar, Hibiscus Icing, Hibiscus Crystals

Glazed Atomic Cherry Raised Donut – Cherry Filling, Pink Cherry Fluff

Sticky Sinn-a-Bun Cake Donut – Sticky Glaze, Pecans

Now serving Sin City for two years it was via online ordering that a dozen Wicked Donuts were delivered to the office on Thursday, execution fully dialed-in and the fact that many were still warm-to-touch attesting to freshness.

Already discussing Pastry Chef Robert Teddy’s background here, 5:30am daily openings doing nothing to diminish his joyous spirit, it was from the seasonal menu that ten styles were tasted, classics both Raised and Cake buttery with premium handmade toppings including real Vanilla Bean, fresh Fruit and rich Chocolate Ganache.

Offering roughly two-dozen flavors daily, in addition to freshly-fried minis available in a keto-friendly fashion, any discussion of Wicked Donuts should begin with the base, buttery Brioche or toothsome Cake best allowed to shine beneath tangy Buttermilk or Vanilla Glaze, though upgrading to real Maple or Nutella is advised.

Next indulging in old favorites, the Praline-esque Sticky Sinn-a-Bun continuing to occupy rarefied air as one of Las Vegas’ best Donuts, Chef Teddy’s new Guava Cheesecake delivers an abundance of filling while the stacked Glazed Atomic Cherry is also delicious.

Eschewing Artificial Colors or Preservatives, a fact pertinent to Cream-filled choices that may be left in a conference room or kitchen at room temperature, suffice it to say that most will not last long, nor did “Caramel Sutra” featuring soft Brioche and lightly salted Glaze wrapped around a creamy Caramel center.

Adding crispy Bacon to Maple Iced Brioche, a modern-classic rarely done better, “Mojito Lime & Mint” is best saved for fans of the Cocktail while “Pink Lady” upgrades the typical Sugar Donut with a gentle air of Hibiscus in both the Icing and pulverized Petals.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: An experienced palate will immediately notice Wicked Donuts quality matches or out-performs anyone locally from Toppings-to-Base, though Pink Box still sets the bar high for variety.

RECOMMENDED: Sticky Sinn-a-Bun, Caramel Sutra, Pink Lady, Bella Nutella.

AVOID: Mojito is an acquired taste not developed in this writer.

TIP: 5:30am until sold-out daily. Check the website for online ordering and follow @wicked_donuts and @wickeddonutsusa on Social.

Metro Pizza Catering [16,] Las Vegas NV

Metro Pizza

Chopped Italian Salad with Ranch Dressing and Italian Dressing

Meatball Sliders – Melted Provolone, Fresh-Baked Garlic Knots

Spring Street – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Meatballs, Ricotta Cheese, Roasted Peppers

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

Pantheon Pizza – Garlic Cream Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Chicken, Spinach, Feta Cheese

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

Pepperoni Pizza – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni

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

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

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

Mini Cannoli – Ricotta, Confectioner’s Sugar, Chocolate Chips

Serving Las Vegas for over forty years one might well assume Metro Pizza has the delivery game down to a science, and even now with more competition than ever John Arena and Sam Facchini’s Pizzeria remains irreproachable in terms of customer service and quality.

Featuring locations North, South, East and West, with another soon to come at the Convention Center, it was minutes prior to 11:30am that delivery arrived porting Food, utensils, plates and condiments, each carefully packaged such that Salad and Dessert were chilled with everything else piping-hot.

Suitable for almost any budget, it was focused on old favorites that eight Pies plus the rest were received for under $15 per guest, the all-inclusive cost yielding enough for all plus an assortment of leftovers.

Now the 23rd time delivering to this office, in addition to myriad 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 Old New York, a classic trio on voluptuous Crust, several staff took a chance on Metro’s “Spring Street” while the “Pantheon” with Chicken and Goat Cheese stood no chance as crispy triangular Slices were quickly devoured.

Onward to a “Triple Play” of Sausage on crispy rectangles, the cold-fermented 86th Street remains defiantly light despite its thickness even after traveling ten miles whether topped with Cup n’ Char Pepp or Mushrooms.

Not forgetting Meatballs, the combination of Pork and Beef with almost no binder sandwiched between fresh-baked Garlic Buns, Dessert comprised two dozen filled-to-order Cannoli effortlessly pairing creamy sweetened Cheese to Chocolate Chips in a crunchy golden Shell.

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, Zamboni, Spring Street, Triple Play, Chopped Salad, Meatball Sliders.

AVOID: N/A.

Milpa Catering

Cilantro Lime Rice

Adobo Chicken

Cilantro, Cabbage, Radish, Pickled Onion, Lime

Guacamole

Handmade Corn Tortillas

Romaine & Jicama Salad – Romaine Lettuce, Jicama, Cucumber, Red Onion, Radish, Cranberry, Pepitas, Pomegranate, Queso Fresco, Jalapeno Vinaigrette

Tortilla Chips

Corn Esquites – Roasted Corn, Jalapenos, Cotija

Arbol Potatoes

Mexican Chocolate Chip Cookies

Vanilla Conchas

Debuted in early 2021 Milpa took over the former Elia space at 4226 South Durango Drive, its off-kilter location unfortunately easy to miss despite the fact that Chef DJ Flores is cooking some of the best contemporary Mexican Cuisine in Las Vegas.

Part Molino and also a sit-down Café, with stone-ground housemade Tortillas a point of pride, Milpa’s focus is a healthier sort of Mexican Fare built largely from local Ingredients, and although not everyone will appreciate that difference the ones that do will be rewarded by every bite.

Ordered for delivery on Monday, a Milpa employee arriving on time with plenty of serviceware and utensils, it was not long before staff piled their plates with everything from fragrant Rice to spicy Spuds, while Corn Esquites channel Elotes minus all the Mayonnaise.

Raised in Vegas with skills developed under thinkfoodgroup and Too Hot Tamales before staging at Quintonil in Mexico City, Chef Flores created Milpa after time at Chica in The Venetian, though the authenticity of this project far outpaces anything from Lorena Garcia whether it be Salad or roasted Meats.

Well-priced for the quality, roughly $15 per person providing more than enough of everything to go around, Guacamole, Chips and Salsa are all praiseworthy and made fresh daily, as are Concha served during early hours and Cookies featuring Chocolate Chips, Granulated Sugar, Cinnamon and Abuelita.

Further making fans with a Romaine & Jicama Salad, whether eaten as intended or using its constituents as Taco toppings, Chef Flores’ handmade Tortillas are medium-thick, soft and with the perfect amount of flex such that one is enough to support tender Short Ribs, plump Shrimp or juicy Chicken plus accoutrements.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Milpa achieves the rare trifecta of healthy, affordable and delicious, all while utilizing time honored techniques plus largely local Ingredients to produce Mexican Cuisine that outpaces places deemed “Fine Dining” on The Strip.

RECOMMENDED: Corn Esquites, Tortillas, Guacamole, Romaine & Jicama Salad, Short Rib Barbacoa, Mexican Chocolate Chip Cookies, Conchas.

Metro Pizza on Sky Pointe [17,] Las Vegas NV

Metro Pizza

Bread and Butter

Specialty Pizza – Fennel Sausage, Pickled Peppers, Mozzarella

Detroit Red Top – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Basil

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

Specialty Pizza – Creamed Corn, Jalapeno Honey, Pancetta, Baby Arugula

Specialty Pizza – Ricotta, Mozzarella, Provolone, Black Pepper, Roasted Tomatoes

The flagship of John and Sam’s family of pizzerias since November of 2012, with an expansive floor-plan including room to experiment with new Dough, it was alongside six others that Metro Pizza on Sky Pointe was entered at 11:30am on Saturday, Pizzaiolo Chris Decker already hard at work baking Las Vegas’ best Crust and Toppings.

Dubbed “America’s Neighborhood Pizzeria” since the early eighties, though past and present Metro is so much more, it was after choosing from a multitude of tables and booths that a server approached with Beverage options including Beer, Wine and Soft Drinks.

Not overly busy just an hour after opening, though doing brisk take-out and delivery, lunch began first with Bread, two piping hot Loaves proving entirely irresistible before diving into a Pizza made by John Arena featuring Fennel Sausage and Pickled Peppers surrounded by a buoyant Cornicione.

Offering generous portions and prices far lower than Ingredient quality or craftsmanship might dictate, Chris’ Detroit Red Top came next, the simplicity of Mozzarella Cheese and Tomato Sauce gracing fermented Dough with unprecedented lightness bordered by a crispy Cheese lattice.

Asking Chris for one of his #instagramworthy masterpieces, and seeing Chef come through with a pair, the “better” of Creamed Corn with Hot Honey versus creamy Ricotta and Roasted Tomatoes 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: 11:00a to 8:00p Tues through Thur & Sun, until 9:00pm Friday and Saturday.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Company [9,] Las Vegas NV

Chocolate Chip Cookie Company

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie

Pecan Brown Sugar Cookie

Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie

Sugar Cookie

M&M Cookie

Reese’s Pieces and Cup Cookie

Cinnamon Sugar 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 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 three-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 M&Ms, followed by Reese’s Peanut Butter, the addition of Cups plus Pieces to Mrs. Mesa-Glennon ‘s Batter proves predictably delicious while Chocolate Chip Walnut offers a balanced bite with oodles of nostalgia.

Prioritizing customer safety by individually bagging each Cookie at no extra cost Pecan Brown Sugar wins guests over by way of crunchy sweetness over toasty spots in comparison to Toffee Chocolate Chip that is slightly salty and heterogeneous from bite-to-bite.

Not forgetting a Sugar Cookie, simple but splendid, Chocolate Chip Cookie Company’s version of a Snickerdoodle lives up to its title of “Cinnamon and Sugar Cookie” thanks to a granulated top plus plenty of Butter making each mouthful aromatic and anything but dry.

FIVE 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, Pecan Brown Sugar Cookie.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Currently open 10:00am to 6:00pm daily and taking orders 24/7 via the website. Available via delivery with GrubHub.

Bronze Café

Arugula Salad, Strawberries, Goat Cheese, Pecans, Strawberry Vinaigrette

Fatoosh Salad

Four Bean and Corn Pasta Salad

Pesto and Parmesan Cheese Potato Salad

The Tapatio Fried Chicken Sammich on Pretzel Bun

The LGBTQ Sammich – Housemade Bacon Jam, Maple-glazed Bacon, mixed Greens, Tomato, Cucumbers, Basil Aioli, Lemon Vinaigrette, Brioche

The Barbecue Beef Ciabatta Sammich

The Chai Spice Cookie

The Rocky Road Cookie

The Strawberry Cookie

The Raspberry Scone

The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle

The Loving v Virginia Brookie

Always on the move, both the Restaurant’s physical location and their health-conscious Cuisine, it was for Catering that David and Peter Mozes were again called upon Wednesday, the owners of Bronze Café again offering to prepare a special menu instead of the usual delicious Salads and Sandwiches.

Located near Desert Shores in Summerlin, the former home of Beau Monde Bakery providing turnkey access for a Restaurant now offering Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, it was from Chef Mozes’ home recipes that Lunch consisted of several trays, Fatoosh and Arugula Salad making fast fans of those who opt to eat light while Potatoes and Pasta were hearty yet seasonal and delicious.

Complete with plates and utensils, Bronze Café’s LGBTQ Sammich always earning praise as it updates the BLT in a big way, Barbecue Beef also performed well but found itself lost in the wake of crispy Fried Chicken heated by Mexican-style Hot Sauce.

Happy to receive a glut of Desserts, all Vegan and The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle still Las Vegas’ best Cookie despite mounting competition, The Strawberry Cookie remains soft and almost Cake-like while a Rocky Road round riffs on Ice Cream with a rich Cocoa crumb despite the lack of Butter, Milk or Eggs.

Continuing strong with the cleverly titled Loving v Virginia, a Brookie that sees both halves nicely textured, Chai Spice Cookies earn their stripes thanks to bold aromatics while the Raspberry Scone eats far more moist than the typical British version.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, no matter where Chef Peter and David are set-up the quality has never declined, lunch on Wednesday continuing to show quality and creativity bound to please those with and without dietary restrictions, whether they want to be gluttonous or eat light.

RECOMMENDED: Pesto and Parmesan Cheese Potato Salad, The LGBTQ Sammich, The Tapatio Fried Chicken Sammich, The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle, The Loving v. Virginia, The Raspberry Scone, The Strawberry Cookie.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: 8a-8p daily at 2380 N Buffalo Drive, Suite 110. 702-852-2830. Online ordering via all the usual apps but catering best coordinated by contacting the Restaurant directly.

Big Chicken

Uncle Jerome – Nashville Hot Chicken, Lettuce, Mayo, Pickles

Big Aristotle – Organic Muenster Cheese, Crispy Fried Onions, Bacon, Sweet & Smoky Memphis BBQ Sauce

BC Fries

Chicken Tenders

Lucille’s Mac n’ Cheese – Cheeze-It Crust

Big Chocolate Chip Cookie

Already celebrating three years serving Las Vegas, with a second location in Glendale, Big Chicken navigated its way through the pandemic thanks to leadership including General Manager Trisha Durham and Chef Matt Piekarski who each assisted with a memorable lunch on Thursday.

Still surprising fans as well as skeptics with Food far better than the typical “celebrity” Restaurant, Shaquille O’Neal’s involvement seeing talented locals tapped from the start, it was via ezCater that delivery was seamlessly coordinated at a budget well-within guidelines and timely delivery.

Using sturdy exterior packaging to protect product freshness, several boxes arriving temperature appropriate from 4480 Paradise Road, it was not long before staff dug in finding Sandwiches perfectly textured thanks to vertical presentations that keep seasoned Poultry crunchy and Buns fluffy.

Opting for one Sandwich Package plus fifty Strips, the former offering 30 Sandwiches, Fries and two Cookies, it was with Lucille’s Mac n’ Cheese that many attendees opted to start, the creamy-crunchy combo a big hit while Tenders also disappeared fast dipped in dueling Sauces.

Moving next to Big Chicken’s eponymous item, the Breasts from Naked Truth brined and cooked crisp with plenty of moisture locked beneath well-spiced Breading, it was with some added to Salads and others used simply as Dippers than Tenders were gone quick while the Bird on Brioche saw Nashville-inspired Uncle Jerome earn high marks in a market quickly becoming over-saturated.

Creating additional fans by way of BC Fries, the thin and crispy Spuds eating more like seasoned Chips than actual French Fries and thus traveling well without sog, The Big Aristotle Sandwich also earns high marks thanks to melted Muenster Cheese, battered Fried Onions, Bacon, and smoky BBQ Sauce.

Not forgetting Uncle Jerome, Breasts from Naked Truth brined and cooked crisp with plenty of moisture locked beneath spicy Breading, it was with amusement that many posed for pictures with a Big Cookie before finally dividing and devouring, the Dough from Crumb Fairy Bakery in Van Nuys California chewy from edge-to-edge with Organic Dark Chocolate helping to keep sweetness in check.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there is no doubt that Chefs Matt Piekarski and Silverman have created something far better than expected at Big Chicken, and whether enjoyed on-site or at the Office the product outperforms the competition at a fair price considering Ingredient quality.

RECOMMENDED: Uncle Jerome, Big Aristotle, Chicken Strips, Shaq Sauce, BC Fries, Lucille’s Mac n’ Cheese.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Open 11a through 10pm daily.

Pucks Cookies & Treats [2,] Henderson NV

Pucks Cookies & Treats

Vanilla Icing

Peanut Butter

Chocolate Chip

Cookies and Cream

Creamsicle

Peanut Butter Cup

Taking inspiration from the Vegas Golden Knights locals Jenny Lynne and Mark Edington opened Pucks Cookies & Treats in February 2022, premier positioning inside the District at Green Valley Ranch offering an opportunity at success selling 3-ounce rounds, Ice Cream and cleverly named combinations of both.

Smartly branded in the era of Instagram, signage and décor just begging for a picture behind scratch-made Cookies baked from good Ingredients, Pucks menu currently consists of seven or eight flavors including a “Gluten-Friendly” option, first bites of sugared-Dough beneath white Frosting impressive from crisp edge to soft center amidst bold notes of Vanilla.

Delivered as a 32-count “Mother Pucker” for $88, prices comparable to crumbl, additional highlights include rich Peanut Butter and a version surrounding Reese’s iconic Cup that gets even better with a quick trip to the Microwave.

Open at 11:00am daily with fresh bakes to replenish supply it should come as no surprise that best-selling Chocolate Chip features hints of Cinnamon in the heterogenous matrix while the Hostess Orange Cupcake-like base to Buttercream Icing is nostalgic in all the right ways.

Finishing up with Cookies and Cream, Oreo bits far more enjoyable than vulcanized rubber but less than the Peanut Butter or Iced Cookies, with Summer on the doorstep a trip to Henderson for an Ice Cream Sandwich “Clapper” or Meringue-topped “Barnburner” seems likely sooner rather than later.

FOUR STARS: Unlike DeBoeur, Stone, Lehner and pretty much everything after year one for VGK the team at Pucks gets it right with their clever branding, fair prices and quality.

RECOMMENDED: Vanilla Icing, Peanut Butter, Creamsicle, Peanut Butter Cup.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Mon – Wed: 11am – 9pm, Thursday – Saturday 11am – 10pm, Sun: 11am – 7pm. Online Ordering available.

PB Kitchen Sink – Chocolate Chip Cookie, Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Brownie

A one time a Cannery West kiosk now turned online business The Cookie Bar continues to march on, Wendy Baumgartner’s passion for baking undeterred by the pandemic and her current collection full of kitschy yet delicious creations.

Available via online apps, Food Truck or at Special Events, the options easily customized online, Friday featured a dozen options delivered to the office with individual packaging quickly discarded and a bag of buttered-sweet Booze Munch quickly gone in a few handfuls.

Featuring both virgin and kicked-up riffs on classic American confections, Big Ohh adding granulated Sugar to the top of an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie for texture, both ”Kitchen Sink” cubes deliver about 6oz of decadence with a Cookie and Brownie sandwiching Oreos or Reese’s.

Adding Wedding Cake Vodka to Tipsy Velvet and a heart-shaped “Twisted Krispie,” the later a masterpiece thanks to Sea Salt and soft notes of Cocoa, The Cookie Bar’s Sugar Cookies eat like crisp Shortbread with nuance added by Citrus in the case of Limoncello and torched Sugar atop Crème Brulee.

Going classic with Buzz Kill while S’more Love’s bright Baking Spices shine beneath Marshmallows and Chocolate Drizzle, “The Nookie” stuffs soft Caramel into a Pecan-studded Chocolate Chip round for just $3 – the same bargain cost charged for “Turnt Up Banana” with a chewy Banana base infused with Rum and topped with Vodka Buttercream Frosting.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS: As homegrown (or perhaps homebrewed) as it gets, the Baumgartner’s Cookie Bar should be on any the short list for anyone with a sweet-tooth and all the more so for those looking to #supportlocal.

RECOMMENDED: Booze Munch, PB Kitchen Sink, Twisted Krispie, Turnt Up Banana, The Nookie, Crème Brulee.

AVOID: The Buzzkill was a bit pedestrian compared to the rest, but even then it was still a really good Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Crumbl (UNLV), Las Vegas NV

Crumbl

Milk Chocolate Chip – Milk Chocolate Chips

Pink Doughnut – Vanilla Cookie, Pink Vanilla Glaze, Rainbow Sprinkles

Lemon Crinkle – Lemon Cake Cookie, Sugar Crystals, Powdered Sugar

S’mores – Graham Cracker Cookie, Milk Chocolate Chips, Toasted Marshmallow, Chocolate Drizzle, Graham Cracker Crumbs

Walnut Fudge Brownie – Brownie Cookie, Semi-sweet Chocolate, Creamy Chocolate Glaze, Walnuts

Cookie Dough – Brown Sugar Cookie, Cookie Dough Buttercream, Cookie Dough Pieces

Debuted in Logan, Utah, Crumbl took the city by storm, their Instagramable Cookies offered in thirty stores across six states by 2019 and now easily 100+ with six in Las Vegas including the Maryland Parkway location opened in November 2019.

The brainchild of Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, rapid expansion through franchising yielding mixed results from store to store as evidence by Social Media, it was after a few improving experiences that the UNLV storefront proved competent with the staff exceedingly pleasant whilst describing each $3 round.

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 weekly flavors, four or five specials alongside Sugar slathered in seasonal 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 weekly specials that included Lemon Crinkle plus S’mores bolstered by a good amount of Cinnamon and toasted Marshmallows.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that Cookie Dough impressed thanks to diverse tastes and textures while Walnut Fudge Brownie was decidedly rich and would have benefited from a little more Nuts or darker Chocolate.

THREE STARS: With Cookies currently seeing a surge in popularity Utah-brand Crumbl lures guests in by rotating flavors weekly, this collection successful with a few flavors but otherwise a mixed bag that still sees the consistency too “cakey” at times.

RECOMMENDED: Lemon Crinkle, Cookie Dough.

AVOID: Chocolate Chip, Sugar, Walnut Fudge Brownie

TIP: $3 each or $10 for four. Delivery range and offerings found at www.crumblcookies.com/order

Historically the first Restaurant ever selected to #supportlocal with lunch at the office, and reprising their catering role several times since, it was on Wednesday that Naked City Pizza delivered from the Blue Diamond Road “Express” location approximately ten minutes away.

The 24th time bringing Christopher and Michael Palmeri’s Pizza Shop off-site, indoor dining now reopened brand-wide, it was minutes prior to 11:30am that Michael arrived with a glut of items, easily enough Food for twice the number of guests with plenty of leftovers for later.

Presenting everything temperature appropriate it was not long before first-shift lunchers called dibs on Slices, Cup n’ Char Pepperoni predictably proving popular atop melted Mozzarella and housemade Sauce with plenty of Herbs, as did Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives famous Guinea Pie featuring White Garlic Sauce and Grandma Palmeri’s Meatballs.

Slinging Sin City’s best Chicken Wings, a few dozen devoured in minutes, Salad again proved popular with those seeking something lighter while the Buffalo 22 Pizza continues to make waves with dueling Meats, White Sauce, Crispy Garlic and Mike’s Hot Honey.

Continuing with Garlic Buns, slices continued to be enjoyed alongside Pasta, Sausage & Meatballs while Dessert consisted of housemade Brookies impregnated with Oreos that taste great warm, cold or even a few days later.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there is a reason Naked City Pizza has been serving Sin City for over a decade, and so long as Christopher and Michael continue to work as hard as they always have there is little doubt that any order will delight a crowd whether at the Shop or delivered.

RECOMMENDED: Guinea Pie, , Guinea Pasta, Buffalo 22, BBQ Wings, Oreo Brookies with Walnuts.

AVOID: N/A.

Wicked Donuts [6,] Las Vegas NV

Wicked Donuts

Caramel Sutra Raised Donut – Salted Caramel Glaze, Caramel Crème Center, Caramel Popcorn

Maple Iced Raised – Maple Icing

Cookies & Cream Raised – Vanilla Milk Icing, Oreo Crumble

Sticky Sinn-a-Bun Cake Donut – Sticky Glaze, Pecans

Apple Crumble Donut – Apple Glaze, Apple Chunks, Graham Cracker Crumble

Original Glazed Raised Donut – Vanilla Bean Glaze

Pink Doh’Nut Raised – Pink Vanilla Icing, Rainbow Sprinkles

Chocolate Iced Raised – Chocolate Icing

Bugsy Bullseye – Vanilla Glaze, Raspberry Compote

Blue Suede Banana Donut – Peanut Butter-Banana-Crème Filling, Chocolate Ganache, Toasted Bananas

Wicked Boston Crème Donut – Chocolate Ganache, Pastry Crème Bullseye

My Favorite Martian Strawberry Green Tea – Matcha Maple Icing, Strawberry Pieces, Strawberry Compote

Apple Pear Fritter – Spiced Apple Pear Vanilla Cardamom Glaze

Maple Bacon Donut – Maple Icing, Crispy Bacon

Pink Lady Raised – Granulated Sugar, Hibiscus Icing, Hibiscus Crystals

Blueberry Fritter – Blueberry Vanilla Glaze

Now serving Sin City for two years it was via online ordering that two dozen Wicked Donuts were delivered to the office on Wednesday, execution now dialed-in and the fact that many were still warm-to-touch attesting to freshness.

Already discussing Pastry Chef Robert Teddy’s background here, 5:30am daily openings doing nothing to diminish his joyous spirit, it was from the seasonal menu that sixteen styles were tasted, classics both Raised and Cake buttery with premium handmade toppings including real Vanilla Bean, fresh Fruit and rich Chocolate Ganache.

Next indulging in old favorites, the Praline-esque Sticky Sinn-a-Bun continuing to occupy rarefied air as one of Las Vegas’ best Donuts, Chef Teddy’s Fritters deliver a good amount of Fruit while the Apple Crumble Donut is also delicious.

Eschewing Artificial Colors or Preservatives, a fact pertinent to Cream-filled choices that may be left in a conference room or kitchen at room temperature, suffice it to say that Blue Suede Banana, Wicked Boston Crème and “My Favorite Martian” did not last long, nor did “Caramel Sutra” featuring soft Brioche and lightly salted Glaze wrapped around a creamy Caramel center.

Adding crispy Bacon to Maple Iced Brioche, a modern-classic rarely done better, “Bugsy Bullseye” outperforms the competition thanks to housemade Raspberry Compote while “Pink Lady” upgrades the typical Sugar Donut with a gentle air of Hibiscus in both the Icing and pulverized Petals.

RECOMMENDED: Sticky Sinn-a-Bun, Caramel Sutra, Bugsy Bullseye, Pink Lady, Blue Suede Banana, Apple Crumble Donut, Blueberry Fritter.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: 5:30am until sold-out daily. Check the website for online ordering and follow @wicked_donuts and @wickeddonutsusa on Social.

Relocated to Miracle Mile’s Harmon Corner Retail Center on September 1st 2021 Sugar Factory continues to outperform expectations, Chef Bryan Ogden and Michelin-starred father Bradley overseeing a kitchen that executes both showy sweets and traditional plates with good attention to detail.

Born out of Las Vegas and now a global enterprise built on gigantic bubbling Goblets, fun Food and celebrity-spotting, it would be impossible to say Sugar Factory is not one of the most successful concepts to ever spawn from Sin City, owner Charissa Davidovici somehow managing to turn $30 Lollipops into high-fashion frequently spotlighted in Social Media feeds of everyone from 50 Cent and Nick Cannon to a disproportionate number of Jenners and Kardashians.

Originally launched in 2010 where HeXx now resides, locations at Town Square and Fashion Show Mall also opened and shuttered in the interim, it is across three stories that the current Sugar Factory spreads with indoor and outdoor seating including everything from booths to tables and dueling bars to high-tops.

Ever an eye-catching space from flowers to neon, disco-ball ducks greeting guests beneath crystal chandeliers, it is while iHeartRadio hits play that severs bustle to-and-fro with pleasant attitudes and a good understanding of how to sell various items to an equally diverse crowd.

Without doubt a grand spectacle, the sweet theme dominating an otherwise “American” bill of Fare, it was after some Q&A that Brunch started with Cocktails, three Goblets poured tableside with a smoke-show eventually yielding Fruit-forward flavors that likely won’t amuse purists but work perfectly well in terms of Sugar Factory’s target audience.

Family friendly with eye towards #instagram, four children nearby barely making a dent in their rainbow Pancake Tower, Drinks continued with an indulgent fresh Strawberry Milkshake alongside the “Lucky Charms Latte” and “Pink Unicorn Hot Chocolate,” each ridiculous yet enjoyable for what they are – same as Sugar Factory’s iconic Rainbow Sliders.

Not forgetting a family-friendly Sampler Platter starring Mac & Cheese Pops, nor what might just be Las Vegas’ best Chicken & Waffles thanks to Bone-in Bird on a Liege-style backdrop, Breakfast offered from 10:00am until 2:00pm on weekends also includes a respectable Benny and Steak Hash utilizing Prime Tenderloin.

Not yet allowing guests to attempt the candy dots rock climbing wall, but happy to offer roughly 10,000 calories in the form of Strawberry Cheesecake Overload Pancakes, suffice it to say that despite the audacity this $25 plate features everything one might love about Strawberry Shortcake “Supersized” while the King Kong Sundae further ups the ante with song, dance, sparklers and smiles aplenty.

FOUR STARS: Judged for what it is, a celebratory spectacle that has never pretended to be a “serious” Restaurant, Sugar Factory currently hits all the marks for experience and customer safety while acclaimed Chefs and Ingredients such as USDA Prime Beef suggest ownership actually cares about the Food even though the plating is clearly built for Social Media.

RECOMMENDED: Mac & Cheese Pops, Chicken and Waffles, Steak Hash, Strawberry Milkshake, Strawberry Cheesecake Overload Pancakes.

AVOID: Portions are extreme, so all but the largest appetites can get away with sharing most items.

TIP: Parking at Miracle Mile is cumbersome, so consider Cosmo where locals get 3 hours free and walk across the second floor pedestrian bridge over Las Vegas Boulevard.

Fortunate to have tasted every new plate at Carson Kitchen since summer of 2015, Chefs Harwell, Simon and team forever rethinking even longtime best-sellers, it was with greetings from GM Ethan Asch that six diners were seated at a familiar table, Friday at 6:00pm seeing every seat occupied throughout a two-hour meal.

Still DTLV’s best Restaurant since its inception, a team of talented servers providing faultless service while music plays overhead, it was alongside paired Cocktails that dining began shortly, Choose Joy smooth yet poignant in a manner well suited to iconic Chicken Skins, warm Oysters with bursting Fruit bubbles and fried Crawfish Tacos topped in piquant Ham Slaw.

Continuing with more Skins, equally enjoyable today as in 2014, Tempura Green Beans remain similarly crave-worthy thanks to crisp coating ready to support Pepper Jelly Spread while “Devil’s” Eggs use Pork and Caviar to elevate each mouthful.

“What is that, Velvet?” as asked in Coming to America poured next, an herbaceous sipper befitting Summer-favorite Watermelon & Feta, Cory’s love of Pasta Salad takes flight with “Cold Carbonara” while Vegetarians can also treat themselves to bitter yet balanced Swiss Chard or Korean Fried Tofu topped in Zucchini Noodles.

Bringing a little extra heat via “Dodgy Bastard,” its Bourbon backbone and Ancho Chiles softened by Citrus, Oxtail Risotto remains a menu classic or good reason while Burnt Ends built from Hotdogs make a strong case for Summer’s best new item thanks to both taste and texture close to the real deal.

Always happy to split a Flatbread, this season’s Mushrooms tossed in BBQ while a “BLT” is rethought via Wasabi and Arugula, “Smoke on the Water” uses utilizes Mezcal carefully mixed with Cointreau to create depth befitting Salmon or Short Ribs presented like Steak beneath vibrant “Pesto.”

Adding another for Vegetarians with Cauliflower, a generous portion matched to dueling Hot Sauces and ground Nuts, “Between Bread” is enlivened by a Chip Butty receiving a serious promotion from Soft Shell Crab and HP Aioli.

Never less than “one of each” at Dessert, Las Vegas’ best Brownie and Donut Bread Pudding previously discussed at length, Carson Kitchen’s Berry Posset is perfect for warmer weather thanks to Greek Yogurt and Blueberries while “Shandy Cheeks” is exactly the sort of Cocktail one can imagine being sipped poolside or at the beach.

FIVE STARS: Ground-breaking since opening Carson Kitchen’s excellence has seemingly become so expected that locals are prone to overlook it, but with the current menu as innovative as ever Cory Harwell, Scott Simon, David English, Rachel Tate and Ethan Asch continue to run Downtown Las Vegas’ most important Restaurant.

RECOMMENDED: Choose Joy, Crawfish Tacos, Crispy Chicken Skins, Tempura Green Beans, Cold Carbonara, Hotdog Burnt Ends, Chip Butty, Cauliflower, Bourbon Fudge Brownie.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Full Menu 11:30 to 10pm Mon-Thu and till 11pm Friday as well as Saturday. Brunch is offered 11:00am until 4:00pm on Sundays, with the whole menu also available then and up to closing.

WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.

Big B’s Texas BBQ Catering [18,] Las Vegas NV

Big B’s Texas BBQ

Side Salad

BBQ Beans

Creamed Corn

Mac & Cheese

Corn Bread

Onion Rings, Potato Skins

Lean Brisket, Fatty Brisket, Smoked Turkey

Beef Hot Links, Jalapeno & Cheese Hot Links

Pecan Pie

Banana Pudding

Chocolate Cake

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 Henderson original debuted in January 2016, it was just prior to 11:30am that the smell of Big B’s Texas BBQ began to drift down the hallway, staff quick to arrive for an abundance of smoked Meat, Dessert and Sides.

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.

Available for dine-in, take-out, catering and delivery, all presented by staff rather than a third-party, it was really no surprise when Macaroni and Cheese as well as Hot Links were quickly depleted, with slices of gooey Pecan Pie, Chocolate Cake or freshly made Banana Pudding soon to follow.

Texas through and through, the aforementioned wood 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 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 Bread was underutilized with loaves 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.

Adding on Creamed Corn, plus thick-cut Onion Rings and “secret menu” Potato Skins, a second helping of everything proved mandatory, though even for someone with a decidedly large appetite it might be smart to stop a bit short of stuffed next time to avoid wanting an afternoon nap instead of four more hours of work.

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, Creamed Corn, BBQ Beans, Onion Rings, Potato Skins, 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.
