this came on the heel's of a tasting we went to in Temecula. the owner of the Briar Rose Winery was telling us that is reserve Cabernet, which is like $40 there at the winery, was currently being offered exclusively by two restaurants on the West side for over $150.


eesh!

I was invited to go to a show earlier this year downtown.

We ate at a decent restaurant that had the wine I mentioned above, for retail price.

It just depends on the place, if they want to try to F U in the A or not.

Ping Pang Pong really is excellent and most of the customers are Asian. The English menu shows only a small percentage of what they serve. Get help from your server and definitely check out the food at the other tables. We had a great dinner and nothing we ate was on the English menu.

IF I go, it'll be the usual breakfast at the Original Pancake House @ the Green Valley Resort in Henderson. Possibly a lunch or dinner at Chipotle.

Spice Market Buffet (Planet Hollywood)
Liquid diet the rest of the time of course!

I know the head chef at the buffet (from him being a former co-worker of mine at the Aladdin...before the PH merger)...and you can't go wrong if you eat there... The same food at the employee dining room is the same served at the buffet... I believe that was one of the few highlights of me working there...

We'll have to remember to ask for the Chinese menu for translation next time we go. The food from the English menu was excellent! I've never had such good Chinese Food!

:grin:

I just saw the prices for Craftsteak...HOLY S***!
