I read an article in USA Today awhile ago stating that Kobe beef was a product that only could be raised in a specific part of Japan and was only licensed to be sold in two countries outside of Japan. The article stated that the USDA has not licensed Kobe beef in the US (health standards?) and therefore it's not available to be sold or purchased here, hence, anything sold here as Kobe beef is therefore an imitation. But I see it advertised and offered here all the time and have even purchased a Kobe burger. You mention it often in the LVA in your reviews of restaurants (last issue on the sushi place, for example). So, what's up? Are we being ripped off with high pieces for fake product?

Can you please tell me when the new Beach Boys-themed "Good Vibrations" restaurant will open at Bally's?

My friends and I have been going to the Envy Brunch on Sundays to enjoy Wes Winters and his gifted piano playing with his songs. There were many tables of regulars for that brunch. It was very affordable making it a wonderful afternoon after church, etc. Many of these regulars were seniors. They would get up and dance between the tables enjoying Wes. Wes is not performing there now and there is talk he will not be back. My group has been Sunday brunching for years - we loved the brunch at The Steakhouse, Circus Circus. When it closed, we found Envy. Now we are looking for a location again that is relatively easy to access and not over-the-top expensive. Any ideas for us?

At one time, places like Casa di Amore used to offer a family-style menu option for groups, but I do not believe they still do this. Are there any Strip or local restaurants that offer a "family-style" menu option for a large party (20 people)?

How has Las Vegas changed over the past 15 years? The conclusion to yesterday's answer.

I just moved here and it's hot out! I love my cherry-lime slushies from Sonic but I'd like to try some new things. Do you have any recommendations for homemade ice creams, or other unique - and cold! - foods?

I read chef and TV host Gordon Ramsay opened a restaurant in a "Las Vegas casino" in May. That was pretty much all the article said. Where and what casino?

Are there any restaurants in the area that serve organic or all-natural meals?

A recent question had to do with doughnuts and bakeries, so now help out those of us who also desire baked goods, but are on gluten-free diets. Are there any gluten-free bakeries in Las Vegas?

Coming to Vegas soon. Can you recommend any outstanding donut shops/bakeries?
