HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Our staff wishes all of you a happy and healthy 4th of July….

And we at ELV say screw the fireworks, go drink some (good) red and white wine, and we guarantee it’ll keep you from feelin’ blue.

To get you in the mood, click here and tell us if watching this movie trailer doesn’t bring a smile to your face….and get you thirsty.

Interestingly, after seeing Sideways one of ELV’s ex-wives commented that one of the characters (the super-needy stud) reminded her of you know who, while another ex- said she recognized us in the other guy (the nerdy, insecure drunk).

There’s a lesson in there which ELV prefers not to ponder.

Instead, it’s off to Marche Bacchus to get tanked…on anything but merlot.

PAYARD BISTRO $19 Lunch

For you cynics who carped about the $89 Joel Robuchon menu, try finding fault with Gregory Gorreau’s $19 Blue Plate Special at Payard Bistro.

Yes, for less than an Andy Jackson, you get a finely-tuned couscous or heirloom tomato salad, a nice block of snow-white, perfectly cooked halibut or a marinated skirt steak with foie gras jus, and a martini glass of the freshest strawberries topped with a chocolate tuile and pistachio ice cream.

Compare that to the fifteen buck microwaved mess you shoved down your pie hole at Marie Callender’s the other day, and you’ll see my point….

….This is the best deal in town right now.

Although it’s only available at lunch.

In Caesars Palace.

At a restaurant that’s admittedly tough to find.

But worth it.

Oh yeah, the banana-Nutella-chocolate crepe is….how has ELV and his staff said it in the past?….So good it will make you weep.

But it costs extra.

And is also more than worth it.
