We’re not saying the Mandarin Oriental is classy, tasteful, rich and elegant in a way Vegas has never seen before…but it makes the Bellagio look like the Excalibur.

Vegas Uncork’d Salmon Smackdown on The Early Show
It may be a bit early to be thinking about your plans for Mother’s Day 2010, but if you’re Brad Ogden, Paul Bartolotta or Rick “Fishboy” Moonen, Christmas time is the right time to promote their restaurants, their hotels, and Las Vegas’s biggest and best culinary event.
And there’s no better place to do so on the food-friendliest network (CBS) morning news show, where these uber-chefs got a full ten minutes to strut their (and Vegas’s) stuff (an eternity in TV time).
Harry Smith and his gang gave the nod to Moonen’s salmon with fennel with blood oranges, but we at ELV thought the schoolboy bickering (Ogden to Bartolotta: “You need help with that?” Bartolotta to Ogden (dripping with sarcasm): I’m sure (yours) will be okay…”) made the segment worth watching.
So bicker on boys!
It’s a lot more fun than watching Rachel Ray make a Velveeta cheese pie with Triscuit cracker crust.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
Our staff was too busy eating and drinking over the past four days to post anything, but we dug up this nugget of historical accuracy and thespian excellence, just to remind everyone what makes this country so great.
Pillaging from the natives and casino gambling.
