Here is our ROTW on Channel 8, which allows you to hear me extol the virtues of Los Molcajetes using the word “authentic” so many times that someone should’ve strangled me with some ropa vieja. Instead of repeating myself, I should have noted that the restaurant is CASH ONLY. So bring a small wad or be prepared to cross the street for the ATM at the 7-11.

UBUNTU
Posted By: The Food Gal®
Ubuntu is America’s newest, hippest, most publicized vegetarian restaurant for a reason, and that reason is: they don’t live by the soy and/or die by the soy. Tofu is barely seen on the menu, and chefs Jeremy and Deanie Fox are so creative with their ingredients that this is a vegetarian restaurant even carnivores can appreciate. Plucked right in the middle of downtown Napa, it is among many businesses that have turned this once abandoned area into a foodie mecca rivaling those found miles to the north on Highway 29.

Sushi, We Hardly Knew Yee – on News 88.9 FM KNPR – Nevada Public Radio
Click here to hear the first of our three-part series on KNPR on the sushi phenomenon in Las Vegas. We recently counted 10 sushi bars on a two mile stretch of West Sahara, and there seems to be no end to the proliferation of cheap, raw seafood being thrown on gummy rice. What has caused this race to the bottom of the ocean is for minds greater than ours…but an examination of two new, big, fancy, expensive and hyper-designed sushi restaurants in two of our biggest hotels might give a clue. We’ll be reviewing those venues next week (and the following week) on Nevada Public Radio and on this site.
