We’ve already sung the praises of Louis Osteen’s low country cooking on these pages….but now you can watch us do so on this week’s Channel 8 Restaurant of the Week segment, seen every Friday on the KLAS TV Morning News, with my good buddies Denise Valdez and Dave McCann.

Listen for Dave’s revulsion at the very mention of a crab cake, and please know that it is my sworn and solemn duty to someday, somehow get the McCann Man to actually taste a piece of seafood on the air, and say that he likes it.

DJT shoots….and scores!

DJT

Trump International Hotel

2000 Fashion Show Drive

Las Vegas, NV 89109

702.476.7358

DJT in the Trump International, is the most important restaurant to open in town since Guy Savoy flew across the pond in 2006. Unlike Savoy and Joel Robuchon-two culinary masters revered for their art and lifetimes of craftsmanship-DJT has burst upon the scene like a child prodigy at a fancy new piano who rips through Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto without missing a beat. Yes, it is that good.

Credit goes to Executive Chef Joe Isidori and Chef de Cuisine David Varley for aiming for the stars and hitting their target. No food network celebrity, no jet-setting “consultant” chef, no micro-managed tourist-friendly menu; just two young guys cooking finely-tuned food with the best ingredients money can buy. And unlike too many young chefs (and incorrigible piano prodigies), never do they stray into the land of the overwrought or the over-thought.

My two minutes of local media fame is hardly enough to do justice the exquisitely rendered food, but click below to view our Restaurant of the Week on KLAS TV Channel 8 (CBS), featuring DJT.

KLAS TV Channel 8 (CBS) Restaurant of the Week, BISTRO DIVINO

This week’s video review is of Bistro Divino (reviewed on KNPR yesterday). If you think I’m heaping all this love on a modest, Italian place as a way of helping to revive the moribund downtown dining scene, you would be right.

And if you think I’m overcooking my enthusiasm for the neighborhood Italian restaurant scene….Well, you’d be right about that too.
