Eating Las Vegas Contest – that has nothing to do with Thanksgiving (applause applause)

First, to all of you — ELV’s faithful readers and post-ers: HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM EATING LAS VEGAS, and his entire staff!

Secondly, since we know you’re already tired of holiday quizzes and trivia contests, ELV thought he’d tickle your brain stems with a contest about something else. So, my fine feathered famously full food fact freaks:

Can you identify the origin of these quotes?*

“I don’t wish to address anyone by name who has had their finger up my rectum.”

“Take two stars from Chez Auguste. I ate there last night and generated more gas than an Arabian oil field puts out in a month.”

“It’s no more trouble to make a good omelet than a bad one.”

“…(you are) a fat piece of rancid headcheese!”

“Every fold of (my) skin is a sonnet…every chin, a concerto!”

“You don’t have to have laid an egg to be able to smell a bad one.”

“You may have had her body, but I’ve had her creams, her meringues, her breads and her cakes.”

“I will make love to you six times: primi, antipasti, pasta, pesce, carne….and dolce!”

“I have a fantastic body…you will love touching it.”

First prize: Lunch with ELV and a mega-babe of his choosing (assuming her 1-900 number still works)

* And no, the answer isn’t: Last night in ELV’s bedroom.

ELV Interviewed By Chicago’s Hungry Hound

In case you’re in love with ELV’s voice, and let’s face it who isn’t?, here is a recent interview of him by Steve Dolinsky (The Hungry Hound of Chicago), conducted as we were on our way to, and eating in, Lotus of Siam last week. Besides being a great guy and a man of impeccable taste (especially when it comes to dining companions and interview subjects), Steve is an official FOELV (Friend Of ELV), whose weekly broadcasts can be accessed by clicking on his name under ELV’s Friends In Food on the right.

And here are but a few of the dishes we shared at Lotus that night….along with some views of Dolinsky’s hand saucing a succulent red snapper.

ELV Taking A Break – The Food World Weeps

Yes food fans, for the next four days, ELV shall be attending the Mediterranean Flavor Odyssey at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa Valley. Therefore, because he’s not yet a laptop and Twitter kind of guy, he will not be posting anything until early next week.

Try to contain your sorrow, and look forward to my complete: Eating Napa Valley story, whence I return!
