Pioneer Saloon

If you're interested in exploring other parts of Nevada or just want to get away from Las Vegas, Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings is the place to visit!  This saloon was built back in 1913 and is full of history:


Gate to the outdoor dining area

Just walk on over to the general store next to the saloon
and order your food.

I got the Alaskan Salmon Burger.  The patty was grilled just right!  It came
with addicting kettle chips and I got to choose my toppings.  The owner
recommended me to try the ghost chili sauce with my burger.  I was
hesitant to get it because I can't handle very spicy foods, but he assured me
it wasn't that spicy... He was right, the sauce went great with my burger!

Outlaw Chicken Nachos

If you want to cook your own food instead you can rent a grill and they'll
supply the food!

Fire pit

Loaded Gun Baked Potato- I was still hungry and got this HUGE baked
potato, I think the owner was shocked that I was still ordering food!
This potato is topped with a generous serving of chili and cheese, it was quite a
(second) hearty meal.

Pioneer Saloon is fairly easy to find.  Just take the I-15 South from Las Vegas to Exit 12, turn right, next you'll see the road that leads to Goodsprings, drive 7 more miles and you'll see the saloon on the right side.

Japan Trip '16: Sushi Bar Yasuda

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 ...

Stockholm Trip '17

Over a month ago, my husband and I embarked on our first trip to Europe!!! We were there for a couple weeks and spent our time exploring the capital cities of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.  The two things I found most captivating was the art, especially the architecture, and the food!  Our trip started in Oslo, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark (check out the links at the end of the post for more details) and ended our Euro trip in Stockholm, Sweden: AB Café Never in my whole life did I eat pastries and drink coffee every morning until I arrived in Europe! A lot of pastries I had were hearty which left me wanting to have at least one daily.  In the neighborhood near where we were staying at was  AB Café .  This is a small, cozy cafe where you can have a small bite to eat and drink before you start your day.  Pictured below is their Key Lime Sandwich, latte, and a bullar (sweet bun).  It was a nice fika ! AB Café Valborgsmässov...
