Keller Does Breakfast

I claim to be a foodie, but I've yet to make the true-foodie pilgrimage to The French Laundry in Napa. While I've yet to have the opportunity to enjoy a Thomas Keller lunch or dinner, ut I have, however, enjoyed a Thomas Keller brunch at Bouchon. Everything on the menu is delightful, but what I find most pleasing are the fresh complementary baguettes and the cinnamon beignets with Nutella. What one might "order as a part of his/her last meal" good according to Pammy's cousin, Susan. Perfect when paired with coffee...

Move Over Wetzel

The Venetian Las Vegas has a great little food court for those incapable of coughing up crazy dough to pay or celebrity chef fare. Luckily, their food court offers some really wonderful won't-break-the-bank alternatives. The day of Pam's wedding, Emily (another wedding goer) and I stopped by the New York Pretzel for a lunch of pretzel and lemonade. Emily paired her original pretzel with a honey mustard dipping sauce. I, on the other hand, ventured and chose a jalapeno Parmesan version. SO-VERY-GOOD. Warm, chewy, and cheesy with a kick. Mmm, mmm, mmm! Too bad New York city pretzels don't actually taste like these!

Gobble, Gobble

Thanksgiving meal (Vegas-style) with Pammy, Mr.Debs, and the gang at Stratta, a chicly casual Italian eatery in the Wynn. There wasn't a single item on the menu that we ordered that I wouldn't order again. But in an effort to be helpful to those of you who do decide on going and can't order "everything," I highly-recommend their Bosco pizza (mushroom and truffle thin crust pizza) and short ribs. To die for!

And ooh, our party ordered one plate of Stratta's Thanksgiving special just for all to share. I don't usually do white meat, but when we're talking turkey prepared by Alessandro Stratta and his crew, how could I say no?

Thank God for good food!

Number One

The Coral Cafe has got the most fantastic red velvet cake EVER. EVER, EVER, EVER. And trust me, I've had my fair share of cake! Jennifer and I shared a delectable slice while at the Century City Mall. We had hoped to limit our caloric intake that fateful evening by sharing a cupcake, but when we were rang up, and the cashier uttered the words, "That will be $6.45," I couldn't help but go, "WHAT?!" Yes, The Coral Cafe wanted to charge me over six bucks for a single cupcake. While most folks probably would've walked away, Jen and I went ahead and asked, "How much for a slice of cake?" And that's how it happened. $6.75 bought us a massive slice of pure happiness. THE BEST EVER. I mean it!

Can't Get Enough

Of Clementine...

Photos taken during two separate trips to the cafe (once with Josh and once with my cousin, Jennifer). Pictured: autumn chicken salad (it's got apple slices and a handful of grapes mixed in!), brussel sprouts (sweet red onions complement the bitter sprouts perfectly), salmon edamame salad (never again), shrimp-calamari-lentil salad (must-have), broccoli-cauliflower salad (okay), smoked turkey sandwich (so-so, buttersquash soup (felt sooooooo good going down), German chocolate cookie (the caramel got stuck in my molars), chocolate chip cookie (oh-boy!)...
