There are only two things a man should be doing at 6 am: sleeping…or coming home and getting ready to go to sleep. – ELV
Merci beaucoup to Kim and Dana Wagner, and to Gina Vereb (their producer), for helping us promote Restaurant Week 2001!
And for teaching us there are actually things worth getting up that early for.
ELV’s staff thought you should know he’s working hard and hard at work these days on the 2nd edition of EATING LAS VEGAS – The 50 Essential Restaurants, along with co-authors Max “Slapsie Maxie” Jacobson and Al “Mad Man” Mancini.
He’s also busy getting ready to launch the next big thing in the Vegas restaurant world (interwebs/publicity-wise anyway)…and should be making an announcement within the next week or so.
In the meantime, it’s back to the salt mines.

Two recent stories in the national food press have given ELV pause.
Both concern the attitudes and arrogance of “hot” restaurants when it comes to serving the public.
One, called Rogue 24 in Washington, D. C. serves 24-course “journey” menus (taking over three hours) and requires its patrons to sign a two-page contract.
The second concerns a service nightmare endured by Alan Richman at a hot New York hipster hangout, which led to a laughable, illogical allegation by the restaurant that he had harassed a waitress by firmly patting her ass during his visit. (ELV will believe Richman goes around swatting waitresses’ asses when he sees Michelle Obama in a porn film.)
