October 6th, 2011
If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll discover a neighborhood eatery that you frequent so often that it feels like a second home. That was the case for Rhonda and Jeff Wyatt, who fell in love with Marché Bacchus, a deli and wine market, that opened across the street from their Desert Shores home. In 2007 when their beloved restaurant went on the market, the Wyatts jumped at the opportunity despite having no previous restaurant experience. Read more »

Swan’s new song, beef to beat all, Café de Japon and Jean-Louis remembered
September 29th, 2011
Mark Oct. 16 in your calendar for the 10th annual Jean-Louis Palladin Foundation Fundraiser, this year held at Alizé (951-7000), Andre Rochat’s restaurant at the Top of the Palms. Proceeds from the dinner benefit the James Beard Foundation. This is, by my lights, one of the most impressive dinners anywhere, with more than a dozen of our star chefs contributing to a seven-course dinner, which includes spectacular wine pairings such as Emil Beyer ’09 pinot gris from Alsace, and a Broadbent Malmsey Madeira.

Turning Over New Leaves
Light summer salads that go beyond the traditional
May 26th, 2011
Vegas chefs do a number of wonderful salads simply based on leafy greens, such as the red leaf lettuce-based salad served by chef Geno Bernardo of Nove Italiano, sourced from his own farm in Pahrump. I recently set out to find five great summer salads, and purposely did not include anything too common, although the Caesar at Hank's Fine Steaks in Green Valley Ranch gets a special nod for being my favorite in the area. Here are five that won't weigh you down, nor lighten the pocketbook. Read more »
