Checking in as another Vegas local, that's a great list and a great write up. Happy to see our town really blow up in terms of killer food/drinks and going out spots. I live within walking distance of the Arts District and spend most of my time there. I heard Vegas Unstripped was a good time, I spent my night at Velveteen watching a friend play with her band instead but was watching friends on IG tear it up.

bartolimu posted:One bit of bad news: after seven years, Bob and Kristin of Valley Cheese and Wine are calling it quits. They've found a buyer for the store and will be leaving town after it changes hands. That's likely to happen around July or so, according to Bob. I'm having trouble with this one - I'm losing two friends and there's no guarantee the new owner will be as approachable or good at his job. Time will tell; for now, I'm leaving Valley on the map. Cross your fingers, everyone. drat, that’s a shame to hear. They were my favorite butcher in town for sure. Looks like a good steak dinner is in my future soon.

Dunno if anyone saw the RJ article about the Pizza Festival that Vincent Rotolo (Good Pie) and John Arena (Metro Pizza) are putting on this fall, but I'll be out there slinging my pies from my little pop-up. Seeing from the email list that I'm on right now, there should be a lot of the local names and faces in the pizza scene representing all kinds of styles. Vincent and I have talked about doing something like this for a while, so it's good to see he finally got things moving. https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/food/local-chefs-to-gather-for-inaugural-las-vegas-pizza-festival-1674262/

There's a secretburger.com event tonight at Rebar if anyone is around. I'll be helping Vincent make pizzas - it's a collab of a sour double IPA beer from 8 Bit Brewing and pizzas from Good Pie, should be pretty fun! I've got a pocket full of pizza stickers, holler at me and I'll throw some at ya.

I film all the Pour in the Alley events for Ferguson's and can attest to this - they're a lot of fun, really social, and a lot of the downtown who's who roll through. Still haven't made it to Hardway 8 yet, dying to try it out. Bryant and I talked about doing a pizza cook off competition with the Free Pizza DTLV guy and me out there, once it cools down that will be a cool event.

I know ReBar and Able Baker just got the go ahead for curbside liquor/drinks/beer pickup. As far as pizzas go, I know for sure John Arena and Chris Decker are still doing their thing at the Metro Pizza’s around town, and Vincent at Good Pie is doing a couple nights of pizza and family dinner curbside pickups as well. I’m also offering curbside pizza pickup as well, I’m a super small one man band operation and slinging pies every Tuesday now, pre-orders are every Friday - yukonpizza.com / @yukonpizza on IG. Hope everyone is hanging in there and making the most of quarantine <3

bartolimu posted:On a more hopeful note, Settebello's Henderson will be opening for dine-in starting today, reservation only. It's good to see them working away at the oven again via their Instagram! To that end, I'm still slinging curbside pickup pizzas every Tuesday, with a pre-order day on the previous Friday. Menu goes lives 5pm @ yukonpizza.com - 123 year old sourdough neo-Neapolitan style pizzas! I've added some staff and we're expanding the options slowly. Currently offering Margherita's and Pepperoni pies, w/ options: calabrian chili flake, ricotta whipped w/ pesto and lemon zest, and pickled red onions. I'm hoping to add a specialty pie of the week as soon as we lock down our local farmer for some weekly goodies. Been selling out about 40 pizzas every Tuesday, which has been a really awesome response from the community and people who haven't had a chance to try my pizza before. With my guy now at the table making way better pizzas than my hands could ever do and me working the oven, we're looking to do about 50-60 pizzas a night. Hope y'all have been staying safe, staying inside, and staying sane - to some degree. We've been putting away a lot of cocktails and getting good at backyard darts.

Carillon posted:What part of the city are you in? A friend of mine just moved to Vegas in the middle of this and would love to send him your way, but not sure if you're close enough for that to make sense. I checked the website but didn't see any location info that might help. I’m right downtown, near the Arts District. And thank you for pointing at the lack of that info - we’re tryna improve every week the whole process so these notes help a ton. We’re also looking at doing a delivery day as well for customers who don’t want to drive all the way downtown. Our Instagram @yukonpizza will have all the notices and updates as we do pre-orders and such.

bartolimu posted:So. This thread needs an update. Vaccines are rolling out to high-priority populations and will be widely available in a matter of months. The comeback is, we can hope, real (and in part subsidized by our administrations' willingness to stay open despite being a superspreader destination, but let's not litigate that here). Our restaurant scene has proven more resilient than I'd feared, to my great relief. We've had a few new openings as well. I'll highlight what I'm aware of. Other Vegas folks, please do the same. I'll update the restaurant list in the second post as much as I can. Thank you for the shoutout! It's been busy from day 1 and the space is finally settling into a good rhythm and groove. The Test Kitchen is a weird sort-of high end food court featuring 6 different chef's/concepts, some of whom will rotate out more often than others depending on their next move is. Everything is done via web menu ordering, so it's completely cashless and you can order from each concept under one ticket. Every day is a battle fighting the sushi chefs, the ramen chef, the banh mi mama, and the Bulgarians all trying to feed each other food without having to reorder bigger pants in a few weeks. We plan on being there for a while, the pizza concept is solid and does well there, and we're off the hot-line completely and out of the way of everyone so easy to operate without being the way. We have some low key plans in play for a space very close by but it's just prelim talks right now. I'm outside by the wood fired oven every day firing off the pizzas, whenever y'all feel up to visiting come say hello! Pretty much all the chefs from Bart's post come and hang at the Test Kitchen, not uncommon to see James Trees and Justin Hall and a few others hanging in the mornings there, good place to sit on patio in the sun with a bottle of wine and a friend.

Loved reading your adventures back out into the world, Bart. I get my shot on Tuesday and I'm excited to check out The Silver Stamp and finally go sit down at Main St. Provisions for a meal. The weather is finally turning for the better, despite the winds best efforts. Patio time at the Vegas Test Kitchen is pretty great when the sun is out and the wine is cold. We'll be there whenever y'all make it!

Mr. Wiggles posted:My favorite ramen shop is Fukumimi at Trop and Eastern. Super small but if there's a line it's worth the wait. Thank you for the heads up on this, definitely going to go check this out with my wife sometime! Edit: I dunno if anyone else went to the Chris Decker/Garagiste popup last week, but it was fantastic and the sunset was even better. Chris, John, Ismaele and Justin pumped out some killer pies, the Sundown mushrooms and squash blossom pizza was perfect. And all the glasses of wine sure didn't hurt.

And they got it right - the Ogopogo is a lake monster in southern BC. Will have to swing by there for some stickers and cider next time I'm in LA. In other news, we walked some spaces with a developer and the plans for our brick and mortar are coming along. Look for us early next year in the Huntridge Theater area...!

If you're gonna be that close, try and swing into Esther's for a drink at the bar, or Main St. Provisions across the way. Also I'd nix Halal Guys at Caesar's - maybe I'm jaded, but I did a long-term gig in the sports book at Caesars, and Halal Guys is in the food court next to it. And it is just food court level food there. Was never impressed by it, tried it a couple times to see if it was a fluke but it never rocked me as "worth it." You could do Hattie B's instead that day since you'll already be at Cosmo.

Posted in the pizza thread but it's pertinent to the local Vegas goons - just signed a lease on a commercial restaurant space in the Huntridge Plaza, going for my own brick and mortar spot featuring wood fired sourdough pizza and a small menu curated by our chef. Eyeballing spring 2022 for opening but things change and take forever. We've got a complete buildout to get through so the journey will be...fun.

Keep your eye on the Huntridge District area, a few things should be coming to light in the coming months about some new stuff going in the area. I've already mentioned I signed my lease to open up my pizzeria there, but that won't be until next spring. Fall time always meant retreating to my favorite dives, hanging at the end of the bar with some friends and staying warm. Posting up at Starboard Tack or Atomic is just as easy for me as anything, and during the winter that familiarity is nice. I miss when I lived literally around the corner from The Stakeout and Crown and Anchor - i've spent tens of thousands of dollars in both joints in the last 15 years, I love them so. I know I'll be hitting Main St. Provision's happy hour more when I can, Chef Justin is finally back there after opening Peyote, and I can tell he's happy to be back there. We just got adopted a rescue beagle and she's so sweet and lovely when going out. Andrew and Rose at Silver Stamp have demanded we bring her in so we'll be by there Sunday night.

bartolimu posted:Main Street Provisions got another accolade: Best Comfort Food from the Review Journal. RJ Best of Vegas stuff isn't necessarily always the best indicator of quality (for years, Red Lobster got best seafood because voters are...voters), but they got this one right. So stoked to check out Red Dwarf (even if it has no relation to the TV show), it’s literally down the street from me. A neighborhood tiki bar sounds a-ok to me. We had our one year anniversary at Vegas Test Kitchen on Saturday and goddamn it was slammed. We sold out after 150 pizzas made, just an all out great day and celebration.

bartolimu posted:For those unaware, Brian Howard (of Sparrow + Wolf) is on the cusp of opening his new restaurant, Half Bird, in Chinatown. The crew is doing a test run at Vegas Test Kitchen starting tonight, going through I think Sunday. Their Nashville hot chicken sandwich was one of the best bites at Unstripped last year, and their Instagram is full of great photos - including vegan-friendly sides and a whole rotisserie chicken if you're not in the mod for the fried stuff. Can confirm these are tasty as hell. We operate out of there and got to spend all day eating chicken sandwiches and fries. Chef Brian and the whole team (Chef Tony and Chef Richard on the line working hard) are really killing it. Brian said they’ve just been waiting on some licensing from the city, which is a drag (dealing with the same issues ourselves). Half Bird will be a fun spot, can’t wait. Edit: birds are chillin in the walk-in  Also bummed that we had to miss the lambic/gueze event Andrew and Rose at Silver Stamp were doing.

bartolimu posted:That event was loving amazing. I sat at the bar next to one of the owners of 5098 Bread. Stamp only had four of the twelve lambics being sampled by the podcast, but they supplemented with some bottles from distributors. After the podcast was over, we had a bottles share of Even More Lambics from our cellars. There was some pretty great stuff in that share, including a couple of Megablends from previous Tour events. I ended up spending about 12 hours at the Stamp that day, leaving only to have dinner with friends at Jammyland. That sounds loving awesome!! Kris and Ryan from 5098 are really cool too. Glad to see the Stamp hit such success right outta the gate in the first year. For the Gin event, you can use the this code IKNOWSOMEONE to get 10% off the ticket! And definitely come to VTK for some eats. Gonna have a good lineup in the kitchen this weekend - Winnie and Ethel’s diner and a Hawaiian food pop up among the pizza and sushi we’ve already got going!

This is like the one time they’ve put a Pour in the Alley on a Friday (first Friday, even) so who knows why. Should be really fun tho, looking forward to trying some of the cocktails. Looks like the new Sanddollar lounge location at The Plaza kicked off nicely. I know Jameson has been putting a gently caress load of time into it this last year, proud of him on getting it open. I had lots of friends who went there last night and said it was a great space. Excited to check it out when I get a night free!
