So we’re at a restaurant for lunch yesterday.
It wasn’t a location of our choosing, but at the behest of a regular lunchtime companion.
The name of the place isn’t important, but let’s just say we spent plenty of time and typing last year telling people how mediocre (or worse) it is.
We did not, however, ever call it “The Worst Restaurant In Town.” (The importance of this will be made clear below.)
In the plaza that is host to Lotus of Siam, about a dozen other pan-asian restaurants, and even a few places where you might find local politicians and religious leaders. But the newest opening isn’t a Thai place, a swingers club, or an alternative lifestyle independent theater at all! It is the first Las Vegas location and fourth overall location of Cornish Pasty Co.
Yes, once again the Brits have started colonizing, straying from their conquered home-turf of Arizona.

ELV note: We take a few weeks off and things start going to hell in a hand-basket. Not with the food being dished up by some of our favorite restaurants, mind you, but with their service. Submitted for your (dis)approval: three recent tales of woe….
Dear Eating Las Vegas,
Hello, we are from the Chicagoland area and enjoy reading your restaurant reviews. Since it’s late (actually early) I’ll get right
to the point. My wife and I ate at Estiatorio Milos this evening, we shared the snapper, the fried zucchini with tzatziki (the Milos Special) and a baklava.
As of this moment we are both currently in our suite at the Encore throwing up and dry heaving. The way I’m feeling right now, diarrhea is probably on the way as well. Hooray!
