Free Bad Food! Oh, Joy!

 

 

MY ANTI-VALENTINE’S DAY ANTI-FEAST RANT:
FREE BAD FOOD…OH JOY!

Some time ago, I wrote and posted up a scathing restaurant review. The sad spot of my fury ended up being impossible for me to grade because, while the food was terrible, at least the portions were huge. I mean, ever had amazing service, but the food sucked? Or, vice versa? I feel kinda’ the same way anticipating today’s lunch destination for the partridge and matriarch of the Dalla family — Bucca di Peppo.

Give me my respect. I spent 25 minutes writing this.

Review: Brunello (Italian Restaurant — Sun City Summerlin)

 

 

Brunello is new. They opened about a month ago. We made a maiden visit to the nouveau-classic Italian eatery earlier this afternoon. Based on the high quality of food, reasonable pricing, and exquisite service, it will likely be the first of many more visits to come. Brunello was an absolute gem.

Restaurant Review: Smokin T’s BBQ & Bar (Las Vegas)

 

 

RESTAURANT REVIEW: SMOKIN T’S BBQ & BAR (LAS VEGAS)

I’m not sure what happened. This spot near the corner of Flamingo and Fort Apache used to be a Dickey’s barbecue joint. But it was renamed recently and many changes were made. However, the decor inside is much the same as before (there’s Oakland Raiders photos all over walls). So, I’m not sure what’s going on other than the old saying “just win, baby” remains a laughably bad joke on the fans. [Note: See updated info below]

I wasn’t a big fan of the old Dickey’s at this location, but the barbecue was always serviceable. Nothing fancy, but a good lunch spot. Decent value for the money. That was then. This is now.

Is the Glass “Half Full” or “Half Empty?”

 

 

IS THE GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY?

While dining out last week in downtown Las Vegas, I got into a friendly but serious discussion with someone about how cocktails are frequently served in many bars and restaurants. Bruce Kramer, my longtime associate visiting Las Vegas from Philadelphia was on the other side of the argument.
