Slow cooked peppers, Primetime Farms tomato, nicoise olive, goat cheese, white anchovies, basil. Happy hour $7
Comme Ca, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, I loved the food at Comme Ca! We went during happy hour so the menu items at the bar and lounge were half off – score! This tart was very tasty and the ingredients were great.
Bellagio Hotel at night.
Cruzan “Junkanu” rum, rock candy syrup, fresh squeezed lime, tangerines and mint. $14
Noodles, Las Vegas NV
This a little on the tart side for my taste. I guess at fourteen bucks I was expecting this cocktail to be more balanced.
Shops as you enter the Bellagio Hotel.
Rhubarb chutney, walnut, whipped cream.
Joule, San Francisco CA
I liked the combination of slightly savory and sweet in this dish, and the texture of the buckwheat pancakes was great. I would say that was a pretty successful plate!

Java Detour, Las Vegas NV
I attended another conference in Vegas and always had to run to the coffee shop downstairs to grab food beforehand. None of it was really that good but it kept my stomach at bay during sessions. 🙂

Banana. $1.50
Statues facing the Flamingo.
1/3 pound beef patty, jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, and spicy sauce, served with fries. $10.95
Johnny Rockets, Las Vegas NV
Sheesh, these burgers look much more substantial in the pictures! This tastes pretty good, but the patty was perhaps a little dry. The French fries were delicious!
Walking the Strip near Paris Hotel.
Sauza and mango mix blended. Happy hour 2 for 1, $15
Carlos’n Charlie’s, Las Vegas NV
This was SO frickin’ disgusting!!! There was almost no alcohol in this drink and the mango mix was super sweet and syrupy. I felt sick just drinking this ridiculous drink so I definitely didn’t want to finish it. Don’t waste your time ordering their weak, overpriced drinks! Actually, their food is marginal too.
Flamingo Hotel courtyard.
Beef, tofu, shrimp tempura, seaweed, udon noodles, scallions. $13.95
Wakaba Sushi and Noodle, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
This udon noodle soup was pretty good for airport food, but then most of the restaurants in Terminal 2 are better than most. The bowl looks small but there was surprisingly a lot of good! 🙂
Miso soup. $2.45
Diet Coke.
Chopsticks cover.
Maple syrup, whipped cream, cilantro.
Joule, San Francisco CA
I ordered this as a side because I was really craving carbs. I’m glad I did since these were delicious. Nothing on the plate was overly sweet so I appreciated that.

American rye. A clean, crisp and refreshing rye based brew. Light in color and hazy, this brew has an aroma of citrus and tangerine compliment a smooth body and a crisp finish. $5
Wheat IPA. $5
Reuben’s Brews, Seattle WA
This was a randomly located brewery where we met my brother for drinks towards the end of our Seattle visit. The atmosphere was young and fun and the beer was delicious!

Pork, black beans, cheddar, sour cream, chives, bbq sauce. Happy hour $5
Bitterroot BBQ, Seattle WA
Noms, these nachos were super tasty and I loved the bbq sauce they drizzled on top. The pulled pork was also delicious and flavorful.
Decorative sidewalk cover, Pike Place Market.
A great way to end a dinner – with not too-sweet ice cream with a thick, creamy texture. Noms! Tasting menu

Large elephant ear leaves (Alocasia ‘Portora’, Araceae), Castro.
This breakfast sandwich was barely edible, but it was served warm and I was starving. SEA definitely needs better eateries throughout the airport. $4.49
