Friday Quickies #73: Viva Las Vegas Edition

Dare I tackle Sensi's dessert tower this time around in Sin City?

When this gets published I'll still be in Las Vegas (making my annual pilgrimage since early Thursday) . . . wish I had more to say this Friday but frankly I can't think that far ahead! So anyhoo, here's a really quick foodie event rundown for this coming week . . .

Sunday, Sept. 13, 5 p.m. - AMMO Restaurant is re-doing their Farm-to-Table dinner with Windrose Farms & Tablas Creek Wine after the unfortunate incident last time around involving the sprinkler accidentally going off and flooding the restaurant midway through the meal. Hopefully no indoor rainy season this time around, especially with such a sumptuous menu highlighting the seasonal bounty. Again, $45/person and $30 for wine pairings.

Monday, Sept. 14, during "Monday Night Football" - new Studio City sporty gastropub Henry's Hat kicks off with "Halftime Hilarity" where during half-time comics will perform short sets and after the game the resto will offer rotating eats and select draft beer pitchers for half-price. The deliciously affordable items for this comic Monday includes North Carolina-style pulled pork sandwich w coleslaw for $4.50, Banana Split with housemade fudge and strawberry sauces for $3.50 and Chili Con Queso w Salsa for $4.25. Sounds like a reason to swing on by, even if you aren't into the pigskin!

Till end of November - Downtown's Nick and Stef's Steakhouse will be celebrating their 10th anniversary with a 3-course prix-fixe for $39.95. Selections include tomato salad with onion and baby arugula, oak wood grilled filet mignon, pan-roasted organic chicken and lemon meringue pie with blackberry honey. Sounds like a great opp to get your meal on before or after checking out a performance in the downtown theaters.

And those already with rezzies for tomorrow's White Trash Tasting at Colorado Wine Company, I'll see you there bright and early!
