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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ØØ Pie & Pub, Las Vegas NV

ØØ Pie & Pub

Prosecco DOC Vivissimo Frizzante

HOUSE PICKLES – Garlic Flowers, Dill Blossoms

BURRATA CON SPECK – Speck, Fresh Burrata, Lemon Oil, Maldon Salt

ACCIUGA PICCANTE – Roasted Red Peppers, Calabrian Chili Peppers, Capers, Preserved Lemon, Italian White Anchovies, Castelvetrano Olives, Pizza Dough

INSALATA – Arugula, Sherry Vinaigrette, Pistachio Pesto, Semi Dried Tomatoes, Balsamic Reduction, Focaccia Croutons, Fresh Mozzarella

SPECK PIZZA – White Sauce, Fior Di Latte, Mozzarella, Fig Jam, Speck, Saba, Candied Pecans, Micro Greens

MARGHERITA PIZZA – Red Sauce, Fior Di Latte, Basil, Sea Salt, EVOO

DIAVOLA PIZZA – Red Sauce, Fior Di Latte, Spicy Sausage, Pickled Vegetables, Roasted Peppers

BUDINO – Caramel & Sea Salt With Candied Nuts

TIRAMISU – “Don’t Mess with The Best”

BURRATA PANNA COTA – Melon Trio, Parsley Oil, Pistachio

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lawry’s The Prime Rib [3,] Las Vegas NV

Lawry’s The Prime Rib

Sourdough Bread, Whipped Butter

2020 Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Shellfish Tower – Oysters, Cherrystone Clams, King Crab Legs, Lobster, Mussels, Shrimp, Lemon, Mignonette, Tabasco

Golden Fried Calamari, Lawry’s Remoulade

Cheesy Onion Fondue – Gruyere, Sherry, Sourdough Toast

2020 Decoy California Cabernet Sauvignon

Lawry’s Famous Spinning Salad – Spinach, Romaine Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce, Beets, Croutons, Egg, Vintage Dressing

Lawry’s Fries, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

Mac & Cheese

Yorkshire Pudding

Iron Skillet Mushrooms, Garlic, Fresh Herbs

Medium Rare Lawry’s Cut Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Creamed Corn, Creamed Spinach, Au Jus

2021 Postmark Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Double Espresso

Sticky Toffee Pudding, Whipped Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream

English Trifle, Strawberries, Whipped Cream

Coconut Banana Cream Pie

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nutella Eclair Layered Donut

Red Velvet Cookies – White Chocolate Chips

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

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

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

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

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

The Banana Flax Cake

The Carrot Cake

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Fully committed to clever nomenclature, “It’s Ya Birthday” packed with Funfetti beneath lots of Frosting, “Raspberry Squeeze” succeeds thanks to housemade Jam while Lil Blue shows Roberto Armanino knew early-on to nail the basics.

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

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

Esther’s Kitchen [11,] Las Vegas NV

Esther’s Kitchen

VESTA COFFEE

PROSCIUTTO AND FONTINA BISCUITS, basil ricotta, chives

HOUSE MADE SOURDOUGH, good butter, olive oil, humbolt sea salt

MEATBALL HOAGIE, basil ricotta, provolone, basil, simple salad, chips

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

RIGATONI CARBONARA, egg yolk, house-made guanciale, peas

CHITTARA CACIO E PEPE, pecorino romano, tellicherry peppercorn

PORCHETTA BENEDICT, pepperonata, poached eggs, calabrian chili, hollandaise

ESTHER’S MONTE CRISTO, our brioche, prosciutto cotto, fontina, basil, raspberry jam

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

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

BUTTERSCOTCH BUDINO, whiskey caramel, honeycomb, whipped cream

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

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

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

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

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

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

crumbl (Durango) [5,] Las Vegas NV

crumbl Cookies

Chilled Sugar Cookie with Pink Frosting

Milk Chocolate Chip – Milk Chocolate Chips

Fried Ice Cream – Cinnamon Cookie, White Chocolate Buttercream, Fried Ice Cream Streusel

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

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

Waffle – Vanilla Cookie, Buttercream Frosting, Fake Maple Syrup

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

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

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

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

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

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

Farm Basket [2,] Las Vegas NV

Farm Basket

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

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

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

Chicken Fingers, Ranch Dressing

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

Mashed Potatoes, Gravy

French Fries

Country Rolls, Orange Butter

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

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

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

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

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

Makers & Finders (Downtown Summerlin,) Las Vegas NV

Makers & Finders

Short Rib Empanada, Chicken Tinga Empanada, Soyrizo Rajas Empanada, Garlic Shrimp Empanada

French Fries, Roasted Garlic Aioli, House Sauce, Ketchup

Caramelized Maduros, Pickled Red Onions, Baby Kale, Lechera

Rosé Tres Leches Cake – Chiffon Sponge Cake Soaked in a Rosé Infused Coconut Milk, Italian Meringue, Strawberries

Part of DTLV for nearly a decade Makers & Finders at Downtown Summerlin is one of four current locations in addition to Take It Easy Roasters, the brand’s expansion a result of hard work and aggressive advertising that has continued to adapt since day one.

Almost unabashedly targeting the hipster crowd with a clever name complete with ampersand, a menu featuring loosely defined “Latin” cuisine including everything from Chilaquiles and Arepas to Bennies and Omelets, it is inside a close space that Makers & Finders slings all-day options from 8am till 5pm.

Owned by Josh Molina, his Colombian-American background showing a good understanding of both traditional flavors and the sort of Brunch “Power Bowls” built for Summerlin Housewives, it is while music plays that servers navigate slowly taking orders and filling drinks.

A spot where many seem to stop for Coffee, though an order to-go can be accommodated almost as quickly, it was from the Happy Hour menu that four Empanada were selected with Pastry showing fairly well around fillings including spicy Soyrizo, tender Short Rib and Shrimp that was unfortunately chopped and mushy.

Urban-chic in décor, neon juxtaposing murals bathed in light from outside, Sides include crispy Fries and faultless Maduros meant to be dipped in Condensed Milk while fans of Tres Leches should absolutely save room for M&F’s version spiked with Rosé and lent texture by Meringue.

Still the West’s hippest place for a frozen treat the location opened Friday with ample nearby parking and friendly service inside the still developing space off the 215 and Durango.

Offering all the old favorites, plus fun specials such as “Day-Old Bread Pudding & Chocolate Ganache” or “Lemon Curd & Whey,” keep an eye out for remaining “Pots of Gold and Rainbows” that should most certainly be ordered on a freshly made Waffle Cone.

Butterscotch 80 Crème Brulee – Espresso Crisp, Candied Gooseberries

Already visited eight times since reopening under new ownership there is little doubt that The Palms is seeking to regain its title as Las Vegas’ best Off-Strip resort, a goal thus far successful in terms of dining thanks to Chef Marty Lopez, Tammy Alana and General Manager Jorge Pagani at Scotch 80 Prime.

Debuted late-Spring of 2018, stalwart N9NE Steakhouse making way for a room decorated in Basquiat and Haring, guests visiting Scotch 80 today will find much of the original aesthetic maintained minus paintings kept by past owners, the Bar still well-stocked with rare Whiskeys and service predictably impeccable.

Located at the resort’s east end with an entirely revamped menu, seasonal changes occurring alongside a Tasting Menu and Wagyu including A5 varieties straight from Japan, it was deferring Carte Blanche to the kitchen that Dinner began with Truffled Chips, Wagyu Carpaccio, Scallops beneath Uni plus Caviar and all-new Tuna Poke utilizing Kombu-cured Bluefin and Avocado dressed in Gochuchang.

Not forgetting delicate Milk Bread or Rainbow Tiradito nor creamy Fondue, the nightly Foie Gras special was omitted in favor of Bone Marrow with Beef Cheek Jam and Marty’s Hokkaido Snow Beef Burger now with Smoked Cheddar and seared Duck Liver.

Next up Crab Cakes without much filler, plus three Salads, it was en route to Chef’s Miso-glazed Chilean Sea Bass that guests were treated to a gold-flecked work in progress best described as Wagyu Empanadas, but so much more thanks to lightly-sweetened Laminated Pastry.

All-in for Beef, six ounces of A5 Kobe Beef Striploin from Hyogo Prefecture preceding a hulking Tomahawk, Aussie Wagyu and a Creekstone Farms’ Rib Cap, Scotch 80’s Sides all deserve attention whether French Fries, Forest Mushrooms, Creamed Corn or Famous Hash Browns.

Torn between saving room for Dessert or sampling all six Sauces on additional bites of Steak the decision to do both proved fortuitous, Marty’s Bordelaise made the right way as good as anything one might find in Paris before delving into Pastry Chef Tammy Alana’s delicate new Luxardo Cheesecake and world-class Creme Brulee.

Getting fancy for the #gram with Fireball S’mores, flaming Liquor poured tableside revealing Warm Chocolate Cake, Tammy’s Candy Bar riffs on Snickers via Salted Caramel and Pralines while the dish unveiled in a swirl of smoke now features a Peach Brandy Tart topped Cookies filled with Cream.

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

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

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

Friendly in terms of service, the owner touching tables full of regulars, Appetizers range from Spreads to daily-specials paving the way for spoon-tender Lamb Shanks or the Koobideh “Sushi Roll” that tastes great regardless of its name.

Not about to pass on Dessert after several helpings of Rice, Zereshk Polow with Barberries assertively cleansing the palate, Halva comes in several flavors with Pistachio popular for a reason while sugary Pastries compete for the spotlight with Ice Cream and Falloudeh.

Home to a rapidly expanding population with some 40,000,000+ yearly visitors it stands to reason that hundreds of millions of folks have tasted Carl’s Donuts since 1966, yet it was not until April 2018 that the supplier of untold numbers of Coffee Shops and Convenience Stores finally re-entered the retail arena with a store on East Sunset.

Last available direct-to-consumer over two decades prior, various middle-men including everything from Casinos to spots like Grouchy John’s offering Carl Sanders’ Pastries in the intervening years, 2023 finds Carl’s now fueled by #influencers and like-for-like promotions despite products that lag far behind local competition.

Officially addressed 3170 East Sunset Road, close to Wayne Newton’s Casa de Shenandoah, it is across several cases that Carl’s offers “Top Shelf,” “Classic” and “Fancy” flavors plus poorly-laminated Croissants and Danishes.

Me-too more than innovative, the “seasonal” menu featuring Ube Croissants and artificially-flavored “Strawberry” Shortcake, Carl’s Fritters are smaller and greasier than Friendly or Pink Box and more comparable to Winchell’s or Krispy Kreme.

Built for volume and better with classics like a Cinnamon Roll, though the version resembling a Persian with Granulated Sugar atop Cream Cheese is frankly awful, Lotus Cookies top “Gingerbread Cookie Butter” to upgrade a bland Cake base leaving only Heath Bar Crunch and a basic Boston Creme Bismarck as reasons to stop by if in the area.

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 lives on via Donuts, Cookies, Ube-based treats and Filipino Pastries.

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

Also selling Brownies and Monkey Bread, the later topped in Cream Cheese Frosting plus Dark Chocolate, fans of Coconut should head straight for lavish Young Coconut Pie while new additions including Basque-style Cheesecake and Salted Milo Pie are also built to please.

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

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

Fusing inside to patio through the bar, Cocktails built on Italian Spirits offered alongside regional Wines, service is convivial but polished while describing a menu featuring housemade Pasta, Pizza and the sort of starters prone to wow such as composed Oysters and a dainty Duck Tart.

More classic in terms of Pizza, the Tartufo following classic Gnocco Fritto, Dashi Braised Octopus shows Francesco’s willingness to explore flavors outside his motherland with precision; as does a dynamic combination of Uni, Bone Marrow and Chamomile Ice Cream.

Priced appropriate to what is offered, handmade Ravioli with Manilla Clams and Bottarga quite unlike anything else offered in Las Vegas today, Basilico’s duo of Duck works as well in the mouth as on Instagram whether creamy “Foiemisu” or the “Duck Cigar” unveiled in a puff of smoke.

Continuing with Ricotta Gnocchi in a medley of Lobster, Mushrooms Corn – no two bites the same – Beet Risotto looks like something one might find at Osteria Francescana with perfectly cooked Rice and Currants beneath a Langoustine veil.

Showing off an excellent piece of Branzino next, Citrus Sauce assertive yet not masking the Fish, it was with bellies already full that Di Caudo dropped dropped fried Veal stuffed with Ham and Cheese, and although Modern Italian will always be a polarizing subject there is no denying the meteor-shaped Exotic Fruit Pavlova and Liquid Nitrogen tableside Parmigiano Gelato each outpace “same ol-same ol” Tiramisu or Cheesecake.

The Box Donut (Teréz Korut,) Budapest HU

The Box Donut

Lemon Curd and Raspberry Donut

Peanut Butter Banana Donut

Lotus Donut

Pistachio Strawberry Donut

Although Donuts can be found by various names throughout Budapest only The Box can lay claim to all-natural squared Dough, prices considered “expensive” by Hungarian standards averaging far cheaper than spots across America or Europe using inferior Ingredients.

Free of additives or preservatives, each Donut hand-cut and fried in Peanut Oil, it is at roughly $2.50USD each that flavor come across pure, Lemon Curd and Raspberry tart yet nicely balanced by Raspberry Cream plus textural elements on top.

Advertising the use of 100% Callebaut Chocolate, though this was skipped over for Peanut Butter Banana plus a Lotus Donut topped and filled with Biscoff, the best of four proved to be Pistachio Strawberry thanks to the use of housemade Jam, nutty Frosting and dehydrated Fruit mingling with crumbled Pistachios added last.

Daubner Confectionery

Makos Kifli

Dios Kifli

Malnas Omlett

Dobos Torta

Esterhzy Torta

Hazi Sima Szelet

Somlói

Whether Daubner Confectionery is the best Bakery in Budapest can be debated, but there’s no denying it is the most popular, its location outside the tourist corridor doing nothing to shorten lines that require multiple registers but still require a wait of 20+ minutes.

Located in Szépvölgyi út with over one-hundred years of experience Daubner is where locals go to buy Cakes and Pastries for events such as Birthdays, the Dobos stacked with thick Chocolate in layers beneath a crunchy Caramel shingle.

Also offering oversized Kifli, both Walnut and Poppyseed flawless in terms of taste and texture, those seeking something lighter will find Malnas Omlett to their liking while the Esterhazy Torta carefully balances sweet Cream with Walnut Cake.

Not forgetting Somlói, prepared the old fashioned way and all the better for it, Daubner’s Krémes is sold as Hazi Sima Szelet with Chantilly and Vanilla Cream subtly sugared between alternating Puff Pastry layers.
