[imagebrowser id=2006]

If you want to know what’s wrong with the Las Vegas restaurant scene, look no further than the unexplainable, head-scratching popularity of SkinnyFATS — an office-park, hole-in-the-wall, “concept” operation off Dean Martin Drive that serves junked-up, under-seasoned and over-thought food that mimics the faux-industrialized interior and fake tastes of its customers.

Greek Food Festival on Wake Up With the Wagners

Looking transplendent in his all-white attire — and bedecked with the de rigueur Greek fisherman cap — ELV put in his annual plug for the Greek Food Festival this morning on Wake Up With the Wagners — at the ungodly hour of 6:15 am.*

The festival begins this afternoon at 3:00 o’clock on the grounds of the St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church,** where ELV will be working at the bar and serving up ouzoritas*** all night long.

Kali orixi! (“bon appetit” in Greek) to all, and see you at the bar!

* There are only two things a gentlemen should be doing at 6 o’clock in the morning: sleeping….or coming home and getting ready to go to sleep.

** located at near the corner of Hacienda and south Jones Blvd.
*** like a margarita, only made with ouzo….and seriously good.
