What Did Santa Bring?

Treated myself to a KitchenAid mixer finally. Only other thing was my wife bought me Barefoot in Paris as a stocking stuffer.

Pizza in Charlotte

Talk about bringing back an old thread!

Anyway, my favorite pizza in town comes from Intermezzo.

Las Vegas - Mexican for a group

Lucky Peach - Issue 2 - The Sweet Spot

Philly Hound Looking for Good Beer and Grub in Downtown Charlotte

Take the light rail south a couple of stops and try The Liberty. Always a great beer selection and the food is pretty good too in my opinion.

Need Recs from Wynn afficionados

I really enjoy The Country Club for lunch. We also we really enjoy Society Cafe. The only other restaurant we have been to at Wynn/Encore was Switch and it was just ok. The restaurant "switching" was kind of cool but the food was pretty generic.

Coke for breakfast?

I don't drink coffee but I can't function without my morning Dr Pepper.

Man V. Food - I don't get it.....

that nails my feelings exactly

have key limes.....now what

ah, gotcha...

have key limes.....now what

why not go get some condensed milk and do the key lime pie you mentioned?

Charlotte Hounds

my only beef with Customshop is they are sooooo slow. Food was really, really great but for what we ordered it should have been an hour and a half meal from sit down to out the door. We were there for almost 4 hours. I don't know if that particular night they were short staffed or what but it was not busy (only 5 tables were occupied) and in fact, one of those tables got up and left because it was taking so long. On the way out he told the guy running the front of the house that this was the 3rd time they had been in and service had been slow every time and they would not be back.

I would definitely go back because the food was great (and they served up one of the best whiskey sours I've ever had!) but only if time is not a factor.

What Food Thing Are You Currently Craving--Like Right Now!

right now I'm watching football so beer. and a burger.

Dinner with a view - Sunday night

MIX at Mandalay Bay perhaps? I've not been but heard good things and it has great views from the pictures I have seen.

The Deen Boys

wow, bringing back a thread from 2008. way to go!

Slow but sure

i'm a fast eater and despite what people may think, I do enjoy my food. i like to say I'm efficient at eating.

Charlotte, NC - Guys weekend ...please help

The Liberty perhaps?

Tasting menu w/ wine -100 and under?

pretty sure it was this PAST march... i guess what I am getting at is why did a thread from January get revived?

Tasting menu w/ wine -100 and under?

i think the OP said their trip was in March...

Best Wolfgang Puck Restaurant?

I really enjoyed the food at Spago so I'd vote for that.

Brand Steakhouse at the Monte Carlo- Anybody know about it?

we ate their late night on time during our trip last year and it was great. it is right off the casino but we could care less about the view. we didn't notice the smell of smoke coming in from the casino either. is it better than say CUT or some place like that, no, but if you are staying at Monte Carlo or next door it is a great option

White Pies in Charlotte?

Intermezzo makes the best pizzas I've had in town.

The Best Thing you Ever Ate at Lunch at....................................................?

My favorite in Vegas for lunch is The Country Club at the Wynn. I always get the open face french dip.

Mediterrean in Vegas

I think your pictures pretty much sealed the deal that I will be giving them a try next time I'm in Vegas.

Mediterrean in Vegas

There is a Greek restaurant at The Cosmopolitan, Estiatorio Milos. Never been but I've read good things.

Comme ca` v. Sage and STK v. Carnevino? Help!!

of those options, Sage no question.

At a loss...

I'd have to recommend Sage as well.

Wolf Brand Chili Clone

I like how every time someone mentions Wolf Brand Chili, STPP is brought up like it is the only food in the world that contains it... what about all the other foods that have STPP in it? preservatives are used in A LOT of foods, especially canned.

Please help with my restaurant itinerary ...

awesome, i hope you enjoy it!

Please help with my restaurant itinerary ...

I always get the open face french dip with fries which, in my opinion, is the best thing I have ever eaten. I just love that sandwich. My wife has had several other items from the lunch menu and has really enjoyed them all. Sitting outside is always a treat for me if the weather is nice. Their patio overlooks the waterfall and 18th green. We are headed back for lunch during our next trip in June.

Please help with my restaurant itinerary ...

The Country Club is one of my favorites in Vegas so I'd recommend them for lunch, especially if you are staying at the Wynn.
