We at ELV know that most of you don’t sit around your radios at 10:40 am on Friday mornings wishing, hoping and praying that the programmers at Nevada Public Radio will give you another taste of Max Jacobson and John Curtas’ captivating, contumacious and condescending commentary about the Vegas food and restaurant scene.
