Eating Las Vegas 4 [Joel Robuchon, Chada, Carnevino, Cut, BarMasa, Julian Serrano]

May 14, 2014

This year I’ve made two visits to Vegas, both trips for work related conferences, and both times I had friends in town so I could add a little fun to my days of seminars and product pitches. I am not going to describe everything I ate or each locale, but simply offer some lists, photos, and a few thoughts. The […]

Eating Las Vegas 3 (Chada, Jaleo, Lotus, Wing Lei, Public House, Milos)

September 10, 2013

I’m way behind on travel posts. I’ve been meaning to post Vegas pics since January, so that I can post Raleigh/Durham pictures from June, and eventually Japan pictures from May. It’s going to be tough to cover everything I want to say about Japan. For now, there’s Vegas, which the last few years has become […]

Only months removed from my previous epic eating trip to Vegas, last week I again ventured west, to the neon soul of the desert sands. My main purpose was to glean some knowledge at a distribution software user conference, which in Vegas is something like fight night, the super bowl, spring break, and the start […]

Eating Las Vegas (L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Lotus of Siam, Stripsteak, China Poblano, Julian Serrano, Sage, Mesa Grill)

February 2, 2012

“What time is our reservation?” It was the persistent verse echoing the walls of our swank and spacious hotel room at TheHotel at Mandalay. My first visit to Vegas was solely for gambling with college buddies. Our finest meal was at P.F. Chang’s. Make your own lettuce cups! I’ve been for a few software conferences. Buffets […]

SC Coast Trip 2012 – FIG, Trattoria Lucca, Next Door, Glass Onion, Louis’s at Sanford’s

April 17, 2012

Every year I visit a number of South Carolina cities in a dizzying week of work related ‘fun’. I make the most of the tedious travel and computer repair and asset depreciation reconciliation by visiting SC during its most beautiful season of the year. Naturally, I create a game with myself where I see how […]

2014 Favorites

January 2, 2015

2014 wasn’t my favorite year. It went by too fast. I didn’t cook enough, work out enough, get together with friends enough, enjoy my family enough, write enough, and drank too much. I’m a very goal oriented person, with written lists and I didn’t hold myself accountable in many areas. It will be improved upon […]

One Year

August 13, 2012

2008 was a notable year for me. It did not start favorably when a five year relationship ended, in quite poor form by yours truly. In Nashville I completed my first marathon, not quite breaking my goal of four hours, due to an untimely restroom stop. Later in the year I sampled my first taste […]
