Maine lobster with cajun spices, seasoned mayo, spicy butter and fresh lemon on toasted New England-style split-top bun served with Cajun garlic fries. $21
Lobster ME, Las Vegas NV
Sadly, this lobster roll didn’t have a lot of the cajun flavor that was advertised in the menu description. The fries tasted ok but were limp and greasy.
Caesars Palace from the Bellagio lagoon.
Ramble: gin, sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, muddled raspberries, crushed ice.
Comme Ca, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, I LOVED the cocktails at Comme Ca! There were plenty to choose from and they were all deilcious and very different. AND during happy hour they are half off – SCORE!
Sazerac: rye whiskey, sugar, peychaud bitters, absinthe.
Hemingway Daiquiri: silver rum, maraschino liquor, fresh lime juice, grapefruit juice.

Shimmy Flappers: vodka, aperol, fresh lemon juice, sugar, red wine float.
Beef brisket, tendons-spiced herb broth, udon noodles. $18.50
Noodles, Las Vegas NV
Meh, this soup tasted fine but I don’t think it was special enough to warrant a $18.50 price tag. Gimme a five dollar bowl of tasty pho any time!
Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel.
Chinese sausage, greens, ginger, brown butter.
Joule, San Francisco CA
Noms, I really liked this dish! But then I’m a huge shrimp and grits fan anyway. This was different from any I’ve had previously though because of the non-traditional ingredients like the Chinese sausage and purple greens. SO good!
Seattle Space Needle.
Maine lobster served with a touch of mayo and lemon and topped with secret spice blend on toasted New England-style split-top bun. Medium $17
Lobster ME, Las Vegas NV
This sandwich was just OK. The lobster quality was marginal, definitely from previously frozen lobster since it had a squishy texture. The spice blend they used was tasty, but the sandwich did not have enough lobster flavor. You mostly tasted butter.
Purple Petunia flowers (Solanaceae) in the Flamingo courtyard.
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!
Restaurant storefront.
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.
Father and Son fountain, 2005, Louise Bourgeois, Olympic Sculpture Park.
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.
