This being Eating Las Vegas’s fifth birthday* — hooray hooray! — our staff wanted to bask in some nostalgia and recount to you some of our trials and tribulations, victories and vanquishings over the past half decade, but instead we thought you should know that Charlie Trotter himself — that renowned chef, philathropist and humanitarian, went out of his way to e-mail us this morning congratulating us on being one of his favorite food/restaurant blogs and to tell us we are one of the reasons he misses being in Vegas.

Thanks, Charlie! It’s nice to be admired by such a famous, humble and fine man as yourself, and we long for the day when you will return to Las Vegas and grace us with your presence.

Happy Birthday….to us!

(Tip #1: The article is an easier read on Mariani’s Website.) (Tip #2: Our regulars will note that this article is a slightly truncated/slightly sanitized/better edited version of what we published at this address some weeks ago.)
