One of My Favorite Food Spots in Las Vegas

This is truly one of my favorite food spots in Vegas.

Flashback to dinner at Main Street Provisions in downtown Las Vegas. My favorite spot is at the bar, sipping an Old Fashion.

Sliders made with Australian Wagyu beef. I added foie gras. I couldn’t eat this with my hands because of the juicy meat and cheese sauce. So it turned into a delicious burger salad with fries.

Charcoal fry bread with two delicious dipping options: charred carrot hummus and pickled asparagus and herbs in olive oil.

NOM!

I like grocery shopping in other countries. It’s always a treat to see what other folks eat outside of the tourist zone. In St. Petersburg, I have learned to skip the extra fee for a plastic bag and use my backpack for shopping.

After class, I treat myself to a culinary adventure.

I enjoyed the savory sauce over the noodles, beef and white mushrooms at Terrassa.
