Vegas Days 3 & 4: Picasso, The Cook Off & Grand Tasting, "Love," Daniel Boulud Brasserie, Craftsteak
If you go to www.endoftheinternet.com you reach a page that tells you "sorry, but you've reached the end of the internet." I bring this up because on Saturday night, at Craftsteak at the MGM Grand, I received a message from my stomach that said: "Sorry, but you've reached the end of eating." It waved a white flag, as did the stomachs of my companions, and by the time we left Vegas on Sunday morning we vowed never to eat like this again....
The Big Event: Me vs. Lorraine Bracco, Caesar's Palace, Friday 5/9
This is probably the strangest news I've ever reported on this blog; but, it is with great pleasure (and disbelief) that I tell you, my readers, that this Friday, at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, as part of the Bon Appetit Uncorked Festival, I will be going head-to-head with Lorraine Bracco in the Masters vs. Rookies Culinary Pro-Am on the DCS Stage. Specifically, I will be paired with master chef John Church while Ms. Bracco will be paired with master chef Todd English and then we will do battle. The ticket information is here, but I am inquiring about getting some of you who left comments on my Vegas post in for free to root me on. Either way, this is going to be an exciting day in the life of an amateur food blogger. Could my life get any stranger? Wish me luck! By the way, we leave tomorrow for Vegas; thanks to all of you for your tips on where to eat. I'll be liveblogging the trip from my hotel room, so stay tuned for updates the rest of this week....
