Hash House A Go Go


Hash House A Go Go is hands down my favorite place to go in Vegas. It has the remedy for hangovers and gambling busts. The food is great and the price is right. The portions are large but more importantly the food is fresh. Homemade bread for sandwiches, homemade biscuits for sopping up gravy or golden egg yolks from farm fresh eggs. 


This last time I tried the chorizo hash. Housemade chorizo piled on top of crispy fried potatoes with onions and peppers, all nestled under two eggs over easy (or any way you want them), and a biscuit snuggled into a skillet (instead of a plate). It was absolutely delicious! I've also had the biggest BLT ever (I'm pretty sure there was a pound of bacon on the bread) and the chicken and waffles. Don't go to Vegas without stopping here! Oh and now its 24 hours!!!!

P.S. I've only gone to The Quad (formerly Imperial Palace) location.

Delicatessen


Carnegie at the Mirage

For some reason I can't find any decent delis with great pastrami in Baltimore. (Note to self: ask around). In Long Beach there's a no name, hole-in-the-wall place on every corner that serves pastrami. Anyway the pastrami was absolutely delicious here. It is rather pricey though. The sides cost extra and they charge to share.

Hot Dog!


Pink's did not get very good reviews on Yelp; I'm glad I read the reviews after I went. Even though I'm from Long Beach I've never been to the world famous Pink's in LA. I've been to Vegas countless times and have never been to the one in at Planet Hollywood either. A friend from Florida wanted to go so we did. I had the Brooklyn Pastrami. It was a classic hot dog with a slice of swiss (I think, I can't remember; some white cheese), pastrami and mustard. It was good. The pastrami did not compare to Carnegie, but it was tender. The hot dog was better than what I make at home and definitely not the most expensive thing I've eaten on or off the strip. I'd totally go back!


Six Feet Under

No this is not a morbid post! Six Feet Under is a seafood restaurant in Atlanta. There's two locations: the original on Memorial Drive in the Grant Park Neighborhood and the 11th Street location on the Westside just off Northside Drive. I always go to the 11th St location.

Whether you're with one person or 20, this is a great place to go. The atmosphere is energetic and the service is great. I've never had anything I didn't like. This time I tried the oyster po' boy and I sampled my friend's calamari tacos. Both delicious! Try a po' boy, some fried green tomatoes, and a Cabo Wabo margarita! Stay for a while, have some drinks, and thoroughly enjoy! One day ill get to the memorial drive location ;)
