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.

RAO’S – KLAS TV (CBS) Channel 8 Restaurant of the Week
This week on Channel 8 we feature Rao’s in Caesars Palace. It’s the toughest table in New York and the best Italian-American food in Las Vegas. Shhhh…but here’s a tip: the food here is identical to that on 114th Street in Manhattan. So save yourself the trip (and the aggravation) of trying to score a table there, and just stroll into Caesars here, and enjoy the best meatballs in town. Buon gusto!
L’ATELIER DE JOEL ROBUCHON
ELV has sung the praises of L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon so many times (KNPR, KNPR, JohnMariani.com, KLAS TV et al), another rave review seems redundant. It was our Restaurant of the Year in 2006, and Chef Steve Benjamin, Pastry Chef Kamel Guechida (Bon Appetit Magazine, KNPR and KLAS TV’s Pastry Chef of the Year for 2007), along with General Manager Emmanuel Cornet, run such a tight ship that updating any of those past reviews is unnecessary. But we cruised by there last week and were as impressed as ever by the food, so we thought we’d feature some tasty snaps to inspire some serious salivatory stimulation.
