Fans of RAKU have probably poured over my previous posts, watched me sing its praises on Channel 8, and eaten there multiple times already. But if you’re a newbie to the site, or don’t like to read, or have been living under a gastronomic rock; here is my broadcast review of RAKU for Nevada Public Radio. Kanpai!

CAN’T STOP THE MUSIC!
One of the ways a guy knows he’s middle-aged is when he sees a woman walking with her daughter and they both look good to him. And a sure fire way to tell if you’re too old or jaded to worship at a celebrity chef shrine is whether you think basking in some Food Network God’s absentee aura is worth the price of his ruining your meal – with things that have nothing to do with his cooking. Take that chef’s taste in music for example…PLEASE!

Ask and you shall receive. And so ELV did, from a number of KNPR listeners recommending places we should try and review. Dangerous business this, as ELV knows not from whence your motivation comes. Is it validation for your own tastes you seek? Or perhaps a little game of mock the critic and watch him demean himself, and get heartburn to boot!
It was thoughts such as these that occupied me as we crept way down Las Vegas Boulevard South to a place near the South Point Casino (a side of town where gourmands fear to tread, and where you’ll find ELV as often as you will at a bowling alley.) But promises had been made and gauntlets thrown; so follow through we must.
