ELV Haikus!

Eating Las Vegas note: We just jumped off the plane from New York, after unexpectedly taping two* Iron Chef America episodes, and are filled with melancholy for more than one reason, morosely making us manufacture another malcontent-ed haiku:

ELV returns

From Iron Chef adventure(s)

To depressed home turf

* Only one was scheduled. The crazy, delicious details of how we came to judge another episode will be provided in a post later this week.

ELV has posted a ton of stuff today — from the sad (Rosemary’s closing) to the sublime (Manon’s ham and cheese croissant) — because within minutes, he will be off like a prom dress to New York City for Friday’s taping of another episode of Iron Chef America at the Food Network studios in downtown Manhattan.

Au revoir mes amis, and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the next four days as we eat (and judge) our way through the Big Apple!

Happy Bastille Day!

In honor of Bastille Day and Manon Patissierie and Bistro‘s being featured in today’s Las Vegas Weekly, we thought a few more tasty snaps from its pastry cases were in order:

HAPPY BASTILLE DAY from ELV and his staff!
