A relative newcomer described as “progressive kaiseki” Terroir Restaurant sources almost all of its ingredients from Thailand, it’s soil and farmers the focus of Chef Hao’s cuisine.

Mostly Japanese with French technique, just 15 guests partake nightly in eighteen courses featuring smart cooking full of nuance and creative flavor pairings that shine through their precision.

Housed on the second floor, diners greeted with a table featuring the night’s ingredients on entry, it is after warm welcomes that dinner begins with a progression of small bites including Dashi Jelly with Caviar followed by smoky Pea Soup and a Scallop lent texture by Jicama.

Next offered skewered Madai then Hamo, the salted Plum adding an exclamation point to each bite, Mud Crab Custard excels thanks to Coconuts and Caviar before the delicate Tiger Prawn “Salad” eaten as a single bite.

On this day offering an off-menu special, handmade Noodles with spicy Hairy Crab hot on the heels of an Onion stuffed with Eel, Chef Hao pulled the reins with a peeled Tomato before progressing to peppery Karei and silky Tofu treated like a Bagel might be stateside.

Cleansing the palate with Mangosteen, a trio of Pork presentations soon to follow, savories concluded with perfectly steamed Rice speckled with Corn and a generous piece of A5 Miyazaki Wagyu on top.

Not slowing down with Dessert, textures of Muscat reminiscent of a dish from Jordi Roca years ago, Mango comes far more complex than the usual sticky Rice before a finale of Miso Ice Cream and self-made S’mores fortified by Chestnut and eaten between Meringues.

Drawing from classics, but incorporating their own experiences, each dish utilizes excellent seasonal ingredients prepared with precise techniques both modern and traditional.

Housed in a 1970s villa that seems far from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok this is a Michelin 2* on the verge of three, with beautiful plating and gracious yet professional service.

Canele

Cashew Butter & Jam Croissant

Pain au Chocolat

Shokupan Honey Toast

Maldon Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie

Tucked away on an alley in Bang Rak Sarnies Sourdough is the bakery behind a popular Coffee Shop in Bangkok, the majority of their products coming from a single starter including everything from Pizza to Pain Au Chocolat.

Pricey by Thai standards, that is to say half-priced in comparison to the USA or Europe, guests can expect English fluency and friendly servers who offer to warm up each item for on-site or takeaway consumption.

Fast paced and busy, the Canele a miss with flacid outsides, better bites come from crispy Honey Toast and a Chocolate Chip Cookie with Sea Salt, though the best item by far on this morning was the laminated Croissant split and slathered with Cashew Butter and Fig Jam.

Casa de Raku, Las Vegas NV

Casa de Raku

2021 Celeste Verdejo Sur Lies

Head Cheese, Olives

Devils on Horseback

Patatas Bravas, Poached Egg, Ham

German Sausages, Mustard

Bone in Jamon Iberico

Pan con Tomate

Croquettas de Jamon

Foie Gras Pincho, Jam

1/2 Artichoke, Olive Oil, Aioli

Iberico Katsu

Basque Cheesecake, Shaved Cheese, Jam

Baked Churros, Chocolate

In limbo since Sweets Raku closed in June a new concept called Casa de Raku took its place early November, a focus on “European style” Tapas seemingly out of place for the icon of Japanese charcoal-grilled Meats though the experience early on shows signs of promise.

Located at 5040 Spring Mountain Road, a counter plus tables to the back creating an intimate experience despite fairly basic décor, it is on the heels of Chef Mitsuo Endo’s travels abroad that Casa de Raku’s menu focuses on cured Meats including exclusive Bone in Jamon Iberico for $30 an ounce.

Well-price across the Wine List, a Spanish White well-matched to most of a curated plates, Devils on Horseback prove competent while boiled Sausages with Mustard and oily “Patatas Bravas” without their signature Sauce are both forgettable, at best.

Open 6pm to 2am for walk-ins, the staff friendly but still green, Pan Con Tomate at $5 a slice is laughable with EDO just down the way while Ham Croquettas and fried Iberico Katsu are both beautifully executed.

Impressing with an Artichoke, simple yet flawless for $6, seared Foie Gras hits the mark next to the same Berry Jam as Burnt Cheesecake brightened by Shaved Cheese while “Churros” made from baked Choux may leave purists craving the real thing.

Nomad Donuts, San Diego CA

Nomad Donuts

Cinnamon Sugar Cruller

Cream Cheese Guava Donut

Cranberry Orange Almond Donut

Maple Bacon Cinnamon Roll

Located in North Park and known for Vegan Donuts plus Montreal style Bagels Nomad Donuts has earned something of a cult following, the shabby-chic design coupled with friendly service often seeing sell-outs prior to closing time.

Founded by Brad Keiller, his creations frequently featured as pairings to Beer by local breweries, it was midday that Nomad’s racks were found somewhat picked over, though several unique ideas still remained.

Priced on par with similar spots in San Diego, four Donuts around $18 with tax and tip, Nomad’s Cruller unfortunately lacks the eggy-interior usually associated while Rings are fluffy but compromised by Frosting with a granular consistency.

Fortunate to snag the last Cinnamon Roll, a baked spiral that is loose and moist despite a good amount of Cinnamon, Maple Icing is still more gritty than preferred but finds itself balanced out by crispy Bacon crumbles.

Morning Glory, San Diego CA

Morning Glory

The Socialist Republic of Coffee Cocktail – Dry Rum, Coconut Cordial, Corn Milk, Cold Brew

Baked Blueberry Skillet Pancake – Blueberries, Butter, Pure Maple Syrup, Whipped Cream

Souffle Pancakes – Butter, Pure Maple Syrup, Whipped Cream

Quesabirria – Corn Tortillas, Oaxaca Cheese, Guacamole, Salsa, Red Onion, Cilantro, Consomme

Crispy Hashed Potatoes – Potatoes, Cheese, Chives

As the only Michelin Bib Gourmand breakfast joint in America Morning Glory has definitely earned its accolades, though for those interested in a peaceful Brunch the space known for two-hour waits and n-bomb laden music at high decibels may not be worth the effort.

Owned by Consortium Holdings, a no reservations policy and central positioning in Little Italy creating a scene each day, it is after a line up stairs to put one’s name on the list that guests are free to wander until texted, the same staircase eventually yielding access to a second story space lined in pink and kitsch.

Purporting “breakfast dim sum,” the cart barely ever moving through tightly-packed tables, diners are invited to select from a supersized menu full of odd fonts and globally inspired fare ranging Fried Rice to Japanese Pancakes and Georgian Boat Bread.

A difficult decision for just two, Souffle Pancakes an obvious choice that compares favorably to those found in the San Gabriel Valley, it was at the bar that Quesabirria proved competent despite lacking the complexity of many while the Skillet Pancake is shareable by a family and loaded with good Ingredients.

Devil’s Dozen Donut Shop, San Diego CA

Devil’s Dozen

Vanilla Old Fashion Donut

Devil’s Chocolate Donut

The Homer Donut

Blood Orange Pomegranate Donut

Cosmic Brownie Donut

PB + J Donut

Owned by the SDCM Restaurant Group behind Kettner Exchange Devil’s Dozen debuted in 2015, a Little Italy address predictably generating lines that the shop’s limited size continues to struggle with now.

Narrow across the alley from KEX, a single window beneath the rooftop patio in charge of selling fried Dough plus elaborate Lattes to the Soy or Oat Milk crowd, guests can expect to wait, wait and wait some more while one guest has their whole six-drink order prepared even though others just desiring Pastries could easily be addressed in the meantime.

Thirty minutes to move three orders, the online ordering system never once operational across two days, those with persistence will find the Donuts themselves mostly-well constructed, the raised options light and springy regardless of toppings while the Old Fashioned is unfortunately a bit dry.

Prone to frequent change, Gluten-free choices available on weekends for those feigning an allergy, do consider the “Cosmic Brownie” if available as the Brioche ring marries semi-cooked Batter to airy Whipped Cream and Sprinkles.

SZECHUAN FROG LEGS, bang bang sauce, QP mayo

DUCK MEATBALL, anson mill grits, heirloom tomato, parmesan

BRENTWOOD CORN ICE CREAM, corn streusel, pastry flake, popcorn

BUDINO, caramel, crème fraiche, maldon sea salt

Dubbed Kettner Exchange, a Little Italy address and flowing indoor-outdoor environs prone to youthful crowds fueled by fancy Cocktails, Michelin’s idea of “Bib Gourmand” gets pretty convoluted in a setting where small plates top $25 and entrees for two include a $110 Steak.

Named in honor of San Diego founding father William Kettner the Restaurant from Chef Brian Redzikowski focuses on bold global flavors while a two story space with views of the Pacific deserves the architecture awards it has won.

Lined with glass, fireplaces and driftwood adjacent dueling bars, the upstairs approximating a Las Vegas club complete with cabanas, guests are invited to indulge in complimentary Popcorn while waiting for drinks that include a spicy Tequila “Dirty Verde” or smoother “Miami Slice.”

Self-described as “Contemporary American,” though Redzikowski’s fondness for Asian flavors is evident across everything from Mapo Tofu to “Spicy Shrimp” with Shitakes, Birria Wontons come three to an order with bold Consomme further fortified by caramelized Bone Marrow.

Not holding back with Garlic Noodles slicked with Chili Oil and tossed with Royal Red Shrimp, nor fried Frog Legs in Szechuan Glaze, Kettner Exchange’s Duck Meatball is a signature for good reason thanks to a loose grind and good Tomato Sauce atop creamy Grits.

Increasingly a “scene” as the night goes on, though service is cordial and efficient, Desserts include a riff on Nancy Silverton’s famous Budino plus the more impressive Brentwood Corn Ice Cream from a mold with textural accoutrements.

Mazapan Donut

Mi Rey Donut

Cocada Donut

Located in Diane Village towards the northern end of San Diego Barrio Donas “represents the multilayered cultural experience that comes with living in San Diego,” and now with a second location in Old Town one might say Jonathan Garcia and Janet Martinez have earned a place amongst the best fried Dough south of Los Angeles.

Started in the Garcia family bakery pre-pandemic and still going strong guests are encouraged to arrive early as favorites frequently sell out, Martinez’s culinary skills on display across Brioche that harness childhood memories from Pan Dunce and the flavors of Mexico.

Also offering Deli favorites, best saved for another time, it is inside branded boxes that Donuts are carefully packed in flavors ranging from toasted Coconut and Fruit-filled Bismarks to “Mi Rey” with Ferrero Rocher and Macadamia Nuts.

Comfortable for dining in, whether with Jamaica or Café de Olla, Barrio Donas’ best bites come from glazed rings featuring Horchata Glaze or sticky Mazapan that comes flavored with Vanilla or Chocolate.

Cocina de Barrio (Fifth Avenue,) San Diego CA

Cocina de Barrio

Popsicle Margarita – mango popsicle, tequila blanco, agave, fresh lime juice / La Tia Chata – rumchata, vodka, horchata, creamer, lime, coconut popsicle

Enmoladas – corn tortillas, braised short ribs, queso Oaxaca, mole coloradito, fried eggs, potatoes

Mango-Habanero Aguachile – lime-cured shrimp, red onion, cucumber, cilantro, radishes, blood orange, mango-habanero sauce

Arroz con Leche Pancakes – arroz con leche, raisins, cinnamon, arroz con leche cream

Churros & French Toast – churros, banana, berries, caramel sauce, dulce de leche ice cream

The product of years of work from Chef Jose J. Flores Cocina de Barrio can rightly be called a San Diego success story, three locations starting in Hillcrest all considered not only great for brunch but also as a place to enjoy Oaxacan classics.

Home to bottomless Mimosas and walls built for the #gram, a youthful crowd of mixed races populating every patio seat and most of those inside, it is after friendly greetings that guests are seated in an open-air room where music plays loud and service is great.

Perhaps best described as Modern Mexican, though plates such as the Tlayuda and Enmoladas made with hand-pressed Corn Tortillas and earthy Mole suggest a strong background in classic cooking, most tables will begin with Cocktails that range from Palomas and Mules to fanciful Popsicle-topped options including La Tia Chata.

Faring well with Ceviche, local Shrimp standing up well to winter Citrus and Habaneros, items “From the Griddle” veer towards fun in the case of French Toast with Dulce de Leche or fluffy Flapjacks under a ladle of Rice Pudding made right.

Currently open from 10am until 8pm daily at 3620 South Jones Boulevard Ppang Co is Las Vegas’ newest Korean Bakery, and based on an early look the sizable space is looking to make an impact in terms of variety and comfort.

Part self-service Bread Bar, but also with a case of Cakes and Pastries, guests are invited to select amongst a wide range of sweets as well as savories including everything from Hot Dogs to Olives.

Not too busy yet, staff proving pleasant and well-informed, it was across a dozen choices that Breads proved soft and springy – the Kugelhopf an early highlight thanks to subtle sweetness in comparison to a Coconut Croissant that was both poorly laminated and heavy.

More impressive with a Fig Danish, likewise the Blueberry version, pastries centered on Cream Cheese are a little too plain and should be avoided in favor of items like the caramelized Almond Cookie and delicate Blackberry layer Cake.

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

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

Seasonal and rustic in a good way, Esther’s sizable Charcuterie Board best shared by a group, Meatballs remain the city’s best whether atop Noodles or on their own while Cauliflower Alla Romana remains just as it has been since day one for good reason.

Adding Gnocco Frito for Autumn, the dough fried and filled with Ricotta beneath Mortadella and Pistachio Pesto, Pizza sees a lengthy ferment yield crisp Dough with a moderate rise whether topped in Brussels Sprouts or creamy Squash Panna and Smoked Mozzarella.

Pasta-centric as always, iconic Ricotta Gnudi now found bathed in Truffle Fonduta, new items include ribbons of Pappardelle with Lamb and Tortellini matching Clams to Leeks with a good amount of Citrus.

Unfortunately sold-out of Goat, Branzino atop Harissa Farrotto standing in admirably, an off-menu special showed what the kitchen is capable off-the-cuff as Duck Confit, Liver and Skin all came together thanks to Huckleberries and Saba.

A lot of Food for not a lot of cash, all of it rooted in technique but never compromising flavor for looks, Dessert consisted of Esther’s forever refining Butterscotch Budino plus a seasonal Pavlova and bitter Chocolate Pistachio Tart.

Serving Las Vegas since January 2022 and now a James Beard Award Foundation finalist, Anima by EDO merges Italian and Spanish Cuisine into a whole new experience with several of Chef Oscar Amador’s signatures making their way over from the flagship.

Run by industry veterans from front-of-house to kitchen it is following warm greetings at the door that guests are led to a choice of diverse seating options, banquets in the back most quiet with a full view of murals from local artist Apolo Torres.

More “approachable” than EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine per General Manager Roberto Liendo, though certainly never lacking for creativity, Dinner at Anima begins with Appetizers ranging from Olive Oil Gelato with Caviar to briny Oysters following Baby Scallops topped in Thai-influenced Sauce.

Serving Charcuterie from the former Barista station near the door, top tier Iberico perfect alongside “Catalan Olive Oil Bread,” housemade Pastrami now arrives atop Croquettas while Hamachi unveiled in a swirl of smoke takes flight thanks to Duck Liver and Apples.

Focused largely on new items, though the Bikini Sandwich cannot be forgotten, Anima’s Black Mussel Tostada packs a lot of punch prior to Brussels Sprouts charred in a pile with Corn Nuts, Hummus and Chilis.

Going all-in on Pastas, three recently added, the “best” of Squash Caramelle and Crab Culurgiones with Lobster in Absinthe is a toss-up as each are marvelous in Sauces that accentuate the protein while simultaneously adding nuance.

Not forgetting tender Short Ribs in Vodka Sauce the night’s entree consisted of Iberico Pork alongside Oscar’s famous Patatas Bravas before rounding out the night with Passion Fruit Creme Brulee and all-new Pistachio Tiramisu from Tayden Ellamar.

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

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

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

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

Las Vegas Pizza Festival 2023, Las Vegas NV

Las Vegas Pizza Festival

Founded in partnership with the Las Vegas Pizza Alliance, Novmber 4th marked Las Vegas’ third Pizza Festival, and with participants including Good Pie, Pizza Rock, Metro Pizza, Superfrico and others the event at The Industrial Event Space was a tremendous success both for vendors and those fortunate enough to attend.

Truly a showcase for local talent, and well-spaced across the outdoor venue downtown, it was shortly before noon that VIP guests gained entrance to taste more than twenty different Slices, each place showcasing their unique signature style, from classic Sicilian and Grandma to modern and even Gluten-free or Vegan.

More celebration than competition, Metro’s John Arena having long-fostered collaboration amongst would-be competitors, which Slice was “best” became moot almost immediately, though truth be told that honor would be a two-way tie between Signora Pizza Truck’s Fried Pie and Superfrico’s Detroit with Mortadella.

Only $75 for all-you-can eat Slices plus a take-home box, VIPs also offered a lounge with Music, more Food from James Trees’ Restaurants and plenty of cold adult Beverages for $50 extra, it seems impossible to imagine that any guest left hungry or disappointed…except perhaps for the fact that they’ll have to wait twelve months for the event to (hopefully) take place once again.

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

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

Often beginning with a Fritter, this day no different and the resulting bite packed with Cinnamon plus Fruit, it was after others made selections that Purple Rain continued the gluttony, its Cake Crumble and base a 1-2 punch of textures.

Fully committed to clever nomenclature, “Cranberry Cutie” packed with juicy Fruit beneath Confectioner’s Sugar, “The Blow Torch” succeeds thanks to crackling Sugar over Custard while a Buttermilk Bar shows Roberto Armanino knew early-on to nail the basics.

Replenishing supply as necessary, high volume assuring everything is fresh, each “DoughCro” sees layers separate nicely beneath Frosting while specials including Gobble-Licious and The Mayflower are also highly recommended.

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

Previously offered for delivery or takeout only, but now brick and mortar at 6370 W Flamingo Rd #20, it was Thursday that twenty items were procured for tasting, savories skipped in favor of recently-added Donuts, Brioche and Cookies.

Never actually gone from the local food scene, the rebranding of Yonaka and Purple Potato followed by a consulting gig at McCarran, Chef DeCastro’s current lineup continues with Croissant and Polvoron Bismarck Donuts, this day featuring a dozen varieties ranging from Thai Tea to Pistachio and several styles featuring Flan.

Also adding Churro & French Maple Layered Donut for Fall, complete with Whipped Cream, the Salted Yema Polvoron Donut remains indelible though fans of Coconut should still head straight for lavish Young Coconut Pie or the daily-special Donut when available.

Scaling back “Monster Cookies” to approximately 4” Ube features a crisp rim and molten center while additional specials such as the French Silk-style Salted Milo Pie and Ube Brulee Cinnamon Roll sell out early for good reason.
