December is here, which means the arrival of National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, as well as the launch of several holiday pop-up bars/menus. And we take a deep dive into both in this week’s episode, alongside a few restaurant reports and some news.
You'll get the lowdown on the NFR festivities at Easy’s in Aria’s Proper Eats, Gilley’s in TI and Emmitt’s at the Fashion Show Mall, thanks to interviews with Chef Antwan Ellis, TI’s Paul Reams and Clique Hospitality’s Ryan Brunty. If you’re looking for some holiday offerings, we have interviews with representatives of The Sand Dollar Lounge, Flanker, Stray Pirate, The Silverton, Dom DeMarco’s, Rouge Room, and Easy’s. And you’ll hear about what Al and Gemini have been eating at places like Bramare, Archi’s Thai and the Bagel Café.
