  • Hobak Korean BBQ will leave you full of happy!

    Off-strip Vegas gem Hobak Korean BBQ is a family favorite because we miss having access to Korean bbq in Wilmington, NC. Our years in SoCal and Virginia were filled with adventuresome Asian shopping and dining out. Sadly, the only BBQ in the south is Carolina BBQ, which is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s nothing like Korean BBQ! Korean BBQ is a communal eating experience right at your table, washed down with Soju or Hite Beer or..at least at Hobak… a beer and soju tower right at your table that is a ready-to-pour tap of goodness! The meats at Hobak are top quality Angus beef and pork sliced thin to cook quickly on the tableside grills while you and your companions enjoy the accompaniments of kimchee,daikon,pickled greens, steamed eggs, potato pancake and other house made goodies. There are marinated meats and pork belly and jowl to choose from as well. Let your server do the cooking while you enjoy your group and just TRY to finish all the food in front of you! The large family size combos will set you back about $95…but they will feed 6 comfortably. Dessert comes with the meal in the form of cute little ice cream sandwiches in a variety of flavors. This is another Vegas gem that’s great for a group! Don’t be shy…Hobak!

  • Sabor a Cabo Rural

    From the moment you enter the grounds of Restaurante/Huerta Los Tamarindos to the very last bite you are transported to the hacienda atmosphere of the true Mexico.   From the tacos de cabron to the tamales of sweet potato and pork in banana leaves to the oyster and fish roe shooters.  WHAT A TREAT!

    Muchas gracias a El Office!

    Tuna sopes were spectacular.
     Not to mention the tacos de res and the tequila tastings.

    Chef Silva and company have given the Cabo foodie community another reason to celebrate!

    There were also some homemade empanadas dulces and other posters and pastellitos to end the day.

     Muchas gracias a todos!

  • High “Steaks” at Red Rock

    Having a blast with family in Las Vegas and livin’ large in Summerlin.  An afternoon of gambling gave way to an awesome dinner at T-Bones at Red Rock Casino.   The beautiful entryway belies the extravagance within!

     
    A seafood tower of epic proportions whets our appetites for the main event. 

     Awesome!

    A 42 oz. bone-in T-bone steak a la Fred Flintstone is a real eye popper.   OMG! 

       
    Roasted veggies and a wonderful bread basket with house made goodies enhance our experience.   A big thank you to my dear cousin, Mike for showing us the real Vegas…..
