@jwalkermobile@JohnMFodera@Primo_Levi I follow the Marcella Hazan recipe and this is pretty close. The milk is essential and often omitted by the short-cutters. 🇮🇹🍅🥩🐷🥓
This is supposedly the authentic Bolognese recipe. One of my absolute favorite dishes, certainly top five things I order. What do you think, is this the real deal?
5 places you should be eating at this week in NYC (in no particular order)
1. Cuerno Mexican Steakhouse
2. Bangkok Supper Club
3. Apollo Bagels
4. Il Corso
5. Aces Pizza
@jacksdiningroom Unequivocally THE best in NYC. Honest, professional and amazing staff. The integrity of the product speaks for itself self. Expensive yes (and worth every penny!!!) but not a money grab like Sho.
Checked out Sushi Noz on the UES, genuinely one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had. I usually don’t even love omakase because I leave hungry, but this completely changed my mind. Felt like I got transported straight to Japan. Couldn’t recommend it more.
@jacksdiningroom Not all Tal bagel shops are the same. I will die on this mountain, Tal on 88th and Lex makes the best everything bagel in NYC. Utopia in queens 2nd. Mofeez is the master bagel maker.
Just had Apollo bagels for the first time in a while…still elite. Although it’s almost like its own category of bagel, it taste like high end sourdough bread in bagel form, which I guess it is lol.
That being said def top 5 in the city no doubt. Their tomato bagel might be my favorite.
@eatinglasvegas God I hope the old kitchen can reawaken the magic it once was. Flamingo has gone waaaay down hill. Put mom in the kitchen and bring Bank back!!!
The wait is over! 9 years after closing because of rain/water damage, the one and only ORIGINAL Lotus of Siam will reopen its doors tonight! 🥳🍾🎉🇹🇭👏
Bigger, better and more brilliant than ever, and brimming with a bold, beguiling and beautiful wine cellar …that has barely been broken into since 2017. 😍🤯🤩
Basically a bounty of boffo vintages, waiting to be beheld. We’re beside ourselves with bliss. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🥂🥂🥂🥂

Unpopular opinion: the only thing that could make me even less interested in going to The Sphere is a series of Phish concerts there. 😣🙄🤣

@VivaMattyVegas@eatinglasvegas Mon Ami Gabi at its best was ok. Lived in Chicago for 15 years and LVMAG was never as good as the Lincoln Park version. What LVMAG did have and still does, is its patio on Las Vegas BLVD and the freak show and the Bellagio Fountains. That’s what makes it “good”.
@eatinglasvegas Doesn't soulless, corporate cash cow apply to 90% of the restaurants on the strip in 2026? I remember when Mon Ami Gabi had decent value and now everything is $25+
People are going to ask me what I think of LE CIRQUE’S closing (happening this summer), so here goes:
Sirio Maccioni and family helped put Las Vegas on the world’s gastronomic map when they opened in Oct. 1998. For 15+ years it was one of America’s greatest restaurants, and gave me some of the most memorable meals of my life. But the family-run Le Cirque I fell in love with died many years ago, and watching its devolution into a soulless, corporate cash cow has elided many of my fond memories into shrugs and sighs of days gone by. Le Cirque began with the biggest of bangs and will end with a whimper, raising barely a tear for what it once meant to our town.

@ashtheattorney Been going there for 26 years. Commercial Center was a different world vs Flamingo. Even the early iteration at Flamingo was good but still paled in comparison. But I have given up on it. No more soul, it’s all about the $ now. Very sad. Met the amazing QAW there, may he RIP.
@eatinglasvegas@EatTalkRepeat I swore off going back to China Mama after our last trip. “Back in the day” they ripped the cover off the ball. Since they went and Lotus of Siamed themselves their food has been a train wreck, almost inedible at times. However that crispy beef looks like “the days of old”.
No. 52: #HĂOCHĪ - Crispy beef 🥩 and crusted eggplant 🍆 and 🐖 🥟 — at the only Chinese restaurant on W. Charleston Blvd (excluding Panda Express 😉). 🤔

@ashtheattorney@LasVegasFill Food is so subjective but…

I’d say Genting and Wing Lei are interchangeable for the best Duck. And I really don’t think it’s close. Mott’s atmosphere is great. Chyna Club is meh all around minus the duck wonton consummé, that stuff is righteous.
This shop isn’t for everyone but was a once in a lifetime experience for me. The gentleman making the sandwiches at the other counter was such a delight! I cannot wait to go back and enjoy his expertise!
2026 Restaurant No. 24: the incredible, inimitable, indelible Mr. B’s — a classic that never goes out of style, right in the heart of the French Quarter, with (still, after all these years) the best goddamn gumbo in New Orleans.
@realwinwithryan@VladTheInflator Couldn’t be more wrong. When HIS resorts were under his control places were immaculate, prices were inflated due to quality which nobody on the strip matched. As one poster said above, private equity was the devil.
@vegasstarfish@JetBlue Just had the same experience. Was brutal. And to top it off I was in a Mint seat, the flight that was “delayed” got canceled and no Mint on the flight they rebooked me on. $255 refund!!! WTF, the price of Mint far exceeds that $255. Complained to customer service and zippo.
Flying @JetBlue and they’re delayed 3 hours taking off, so we lose our broadway tickets for tonight. No apology or explanation. Cool. Screens don’t work on the planes. They’re out of 80% of the onboard food offerings for purchase. I remember this being a good airline? What good airlines are left? You’d think at $500+ per seat for a domestic flight it would be at least decent. I could have flown Spirit or Frontier and had this experience at half the cost.
