Cordeillan Bages is a quaint, very elegant country restaurant owned by the proprietor of Chateau Lynch Bages, which is adjacent to the restaurant. The sophistication of the dining experience in the middle of Bordeaux vine country is a great surprise: CB is a Michelin 2 star restaurant, and everything it does it does well …
A spectacular dining experience atop THEhotel next to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, The Mix has been my best Vegas dining experience: the open glass kitchen is awesome, as are the panoramic views of the city from the lounge and dining room. The decor is sleek and elegent and overall the environment is just …
So today was kind of a good day. I had energy; I was teachin’ like I should, and then a kid made a wisecrack about my hair and got the whole class laughing at me. Didn’t really hurt, just kind of frustrating to have 30+ people expecting you to give a shit when you really …

But humanists have thus far failed the central challenge of filling the resultant void of meaning implied …
Nobu Las Vegas is Nobu Matsuhisa’s restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. I’ve only been there once and feel like I need to go back to do it justice, as if the restaurant is flirting with very good but didn’t quite get there on my first trip. The decor is very cool - …
White Orchid is the fine dining restaurant at the Peppermill Hotel Casino, which as you’ll know if you’ve ever been there is the gaudiest gaming property on Earth with bright purple neon that vomits onto your skin the moment you walk in the door. Having said that, WO is a nice, fancy escape from all …

Gary Danko is rated by foodies as San Francisco’s top restaurant. I was impressed by both the food and the service.
