January – you came at us hard. This has been a difficult month for my family and for our AAPI community. So, I waited a bit before I posted food pix from Mesa’s lovely Lunar New Year party.

Tasty good times with food trucks at last weekend’s Lunar New Year celebration at the AZ International Marketplace.

One of My Favorite Food Spots in Las Vegas

This is truly one of my favorite food spots in Vegas.

Rabbit Boudin at Main Street Provisions

Rabbit boudin swimming in English pea butter sauce. Served with potato dumplings. The meat tasted tender, juicy, and a touch gamey. In a good way.

Flashback to dinner at Main Street Provisions in downtown Las Vegas. My favorite spot is at the bar, sipping an Old Fashion.

Australian wagyu beef sliders at Main Street Provisions in Las Vegas
Sliders made with Australian Wagyu beef. I added foie gras. I couldn’t eat this with my hands because of the juicy meat and cheese sauce. So it turned into a delicious burger salad with fries.

Charcoal fry bread at Main Street Provisions in Las Vegas
Charcoal fry bread with two delicious dipping options: charred carrot hummus and pickled asparagus and herbs in olive oil.

In My Belly: Small Bites

Download In My Belly: Small Bites. My ‘Small Bites’ are quick, flavor-packed videos on my culinary adventures. I don’t think I will be doing fancy editing with these pieces. I simply want to shoot the foodie segment with my Droid X and then blast the video via Twitter and this podcast.
Sound’s good?

The other day, I did lunch with my hubby in Sacramento and we stopped by Gunther’s for dessert.

It’s my first trip to this 70-year-old icon.
My co-workers have been raving about this place for the last year. The ice cream tasted amazing! I don’t have a sweet tooth, but I was in heaven with the Root Beer Float ice cream. Yum!
