Restaurant Week!

So when my Bestie Auntie K mentioned Restaurant Week was upon us, I was elated! There is no one is this whole world I would rather get fat with than K. During restaurant week, the menus are pre-fixed, but more importantly, Restaurant Week benefits Three Square, a charity that feeds the hungry right here in the Las Vegas Valley. I was shocked to read on the Three Square website that over 140,000 children in the Clark County School District receive “Free and Reduced Meals”. If you’re interested in events that benefit Three Square, they do a great job and its a wonderful cause.

So… On to the food!!! Our schedule of gluttony was as follows: Monday – Morel’s French Steakhouse; Tuesday – Postrio; Wednesday – Simon’s; Thursday – CraftSteak; Friday – Bradley Ogden; Saturday – Olives. Highlights? The bread at Bradley Ogden was amazing, Olives’ Calamari was delightful and CraftSteak has fantastic sides. Simon’s was probably my favorite entire meal, the lobster sushi roll was made with tempura sweet corn which were little bursts of yumminess!!

The Lioness did quite well, I must admit, she had her moments but she did seem to enjoy her beautiful surroundings. Even Trouble felt like a king the couple times he ate with us. It was also a great opportunity to explain to him how lucky he is to have three meals a day, every day. Unfortunately, not every child has the same. I would also like to give a shout out to all the restaurants who participated in this event, it shows a dedication to our community and a soft spot in their heart, two things I truly respect.
