Gold Spike Grill

By Unknown
If you haven't heard the news lately, Gold Spike is under a new ownership.  It is no longer a casino,  and has re-opened into a non-smoking bar and restaurant for the time being.  When I scanned through the menu while I was waiting to be seated, I saw some typical diner foods and breakfast offered 24/7:


When we were seated, our waitress gave us a separate notebook-like menu saying there were 100 hot sauces levels 1-10 (!) for us to choose from:

The heat chart

Level 10 hot sauces - I don't think I can ever handle this
level especially the feeling the day after! 

Level 1-3 hot sauces - Now these are hot sauces I can
handle haha

My bestie chose Crystal Hot Sauce and I got the
M&D's Ring of Fire.  Their
flavors and consistency were unique from each other.
For example, Crystal is a thin sauce and Ring of Fire is a thicker
 sauce with tiny chunks of pepper.

I chose a simple three egg omelette with spinach and mushrooms,
hash browns, and wheat toast.  Adding the Ring of Fire hot sauce to my meal enhanced
it quite nicely.

I really like this concept of 100 hot sauces to choose from.  For every time I go to the Gold Spike Grill, I'll level up and see what's the highest level I can handle!

Japan Trip '16: Sushi Bar Yasuda

By
I had to save my best dining experience in Japan for last at  Sushi Bar Yasuda !  When my husband and I entered the small, intimate restaurant, we saw Chef Yasuda standing alone at the bar.  He had no facial expression (maybe he was getting into the zone?).  As everyone sat down, he was preparing our foods and began talking to us in a calm, friendly manner.   As the night progressed, we all were having interesting conversations with Chef Yasuda from his life back in New York (he was the former owner of Sushi Yasuda ), sushi making techniques (and secrets!), him getting to know a bit about his patrons, and so on. I had told him that we were from Las Vegas, NV and he made fun of how it was impossible to get great sushi to the desert.  Well, after eating my omakase meal, I would have to agree with him! Now onto the food, if you haven't recognized him yet, Chef Naomichi Yasuda is featured in CNN's Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown  episode ...

Herbs & Rye

By Unknown
After driving pass by  Herbs & Rye  for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time!  I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !
