And in case you missed it…here is the video of our segment on Channel 8’s Dishing and Dining with Denise Valdez about the best seafood restaurant in town:
It will give you some edible, as opposed to visual, reasons to hightail it there tonight for some of the freshest fish you’ll ever taste.

Get the burger. Just get it. Don’t ask any questions. Don’t spend a bunch of time cogitating and contemplating the menu. Forget about conversing over what you want or what she should get…
JUST GET THE @$@%%^!@^&$ BURGER!!!!
Yeah, it’s that good.
Clean, almost sweet tasting, actually. It is burger perfection because it is good, Meyer Ranch beef, properly ground and seasoned, and cooked to a turn. It comes on a simple, white bread bun, with the onion underneath the bun….just like they do it on 3rd Avenue in the Big Apple. There is nothing fancy about it, and there is nothing especially beautiful about it.
Except the taste.
After that burger, get the eggs Benedict with country ham…another revelation in lemony hollandaise and tangy ham. ELV approximates his eating time of this dish at about three minutes.
Yeah, they were that good.
Skip the chowdah (ours was under-seasoned and sloppily made — uncooked potatoes anyone? Anyone?), and don’t waste your time or calories on either the under-dressed, bland Caesar or Waldorf salads.
Just get the burger! Got it?
Get it.

PS: The All-American desserts are equally @!$*$% fabulous, and the chili is pretty awesome too.

For the uninitiated, “sick” is chefspeak for outrageous, 0ff the hook, mesmeric, ethereal, celestial, canonical and/or mind-blowing.
In other words, it’s pretty cool.
Which pretty much sums up what José Andrés and crew are doing right now at their paella pit — a cylindrical fireplace in which individual wood* fires are built underneath huge paella pans — simmering and smoking this Catalonian classic, just like they do in the old country.
There’s nothing like in Vegas….or anywhere else in America for that matter….and the whole operation has to be seen to be believed.
And since ELV’s tasty snaps are often the same way, we thought we’d post these in advance of our full rundown/review.
That may take a little while, though, because we’ve been a little busy.

* Andrés tells us all the wood is local and purchased from a wood purveyor/broker near Nellis AFB. ELV didn’t know there were such things as “wood brokers.”
