Food is temporary. Like drinks. Better to spend your money on other things in Vegas.
JMHO
I have to agree with Todd on that one.
See, that was pleasant!

Kevin is a snake, yet he can't make money.

That is a fair point as well.

In Fieri's case, the places featured on his popular show, "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" aren't worth patronizing, either. At least in my experience--I've been to several, as I travel a lot. The first thing that happens after a restaurant appears on his show is that the menu prices increase by 40%. I can't say if the portion sizes get smaller or the quality of the food deteriorates as well, but none of those places I've tried has been worth the detour.
I tend to agree with you re "celebrity" restaurants. I mean, don't all good restaurants stand on their reputation, which is earned by their quality, rather than some gimmick? Just because the place is owned/endorsed by Bucky McButtface, who played the slime monster in "Indiana Jones Gets a Pedicure," that doesn't mean the food will be any good.
LOL, Kevin. Ya gotta believe that just having the celeb's name on a place will attract star chasers, at least for a long time until it becomes accepted that the quality isn't really there. The celeb just rakes in the money for lending his name, the ones who own and operate it are counting on that and don't struggle for quality.
BTW, and I never ate there but like his music a lot, does anyone know how Toby Keith is doing? Last I knew he'd been diagnosed with the big C, but more recently had put on a smallish performance someplace, then nothing more heard. I really pray for his healing, but I know what he has is pretty much fatal from the get go.

Oh? How do you know? You don't, of course.
You two are getting persnickety because I keep calling you out. Don't climb into bed with Boilerboob, Jerry. His beard scratches.

When did you call me out? :)
And how come it is Ok for you to bicker with David in non-kitchen sink posts but I can't bicker with Todd IN the sink? I'm going to lay off Todd for awhile though. Him and I are becoming buddies! I may buy him a meal in Vegas next time and make bygones be bygones.

Please post a video when that happens.
Just remember, it's apparently bad form to use an LVA coupon on a date :)
