Greek Food Festival Coming Up!

In two weeks, Las Vegas’s best Greek restaurant will open for only three days.

It’s about the only time all year ELV gets excited about Greek food (along with when he gets invited to a relative’s house)  and he will be tending bar (and over-serving ouzoritas to himself) next |Friday night if you’d like to drop by.

Speaking of getting excited, there is nothing, NOTHING exciting or interesting about the Vegas food scene these days — which is the reason our website posts have been few and far between. (When we can work up the enthusiasm to write about it, we’ll give you our less-than-enthusiastic take on Echo & Rig.)

In the meantime, we’ll look forward to gorging ourselves on  Las Vegas’s  best Greek cooking, Friday-Sunday, Sept. 27-29.

Kali orixi!

ELV Gets Roasted Tonight

In just a few hours — tonight at 7:00 pm — ELV (aka John Anthony Curtas) will get roasted by a bevy of local chefs.

It is my understanding that two fellows named Max Jacobson and Al Mancini are also set to be skewered.

Whether the barbs are piquant and peckish, or limp and lame, remains to be seen, but the proceeds go to a great cause (www.ThreeSquare.org), where, as a matter of fact, the festivities will be held.

Roasting Las Vegas: The Critics can DISH it out, but can they take it?
When: September 3, 2013 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Location: Three Square Food Bank; 4190 N. Pecos Rd. Las Vegas, NV 89115

October Fest-Guide: Into the Month of Madness

So unless you’ve been completely ignoring the media blitz coming at you from all angles, you’re at least somewhat aware of the Life Is Beautiful festival coming up in October.  While it’s been mainly billed as some kind of music fest, a showcase of a bunch of people I don’t know (plus Beck), they kind of buried the lead with a really cool selection of foodstuffs.  A lead even FURTHER buried is all the other really cool food events going on in the month of October!  Five BIG events, and luckily the much anticipated roast of John, Al, and Max will be a month before.  Need to plan a schedule?  Well, that’s why I bring you…

the font would not support an apostrophe, get over it.
