Jo Jo at morimoto's
Morimoto has an interior - awash in glass and colors - that is both striking and serene in its design. INSIDER TIP. The mezzanine level lounge is a great spot to have a pre - meal cocktail while waiting for your table.

Tommy Gunns American Barbeque
Glad we went to this little gem. Jo and I had the opportunity to take our good friend and hostess, Rose, to this iconic bbq place. We shared pulled pork, smoked wings, brisket and last but not least, there deep fried mac & cheese.
Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse
By far, the best bbq I had in Philly.
Had to try the brisket, mashed sweet potatoes, baked beans, and bread pudding. We felt guilty Aaron and Rose worked that day so we brought some home to them. Guess what new item is going to be offered in 2013 ?

Firefly tapas kitchen & bar
The first restaurant stakeout was filmed here in Las Vegas at the Firefly. We had the paella for entree. ( saffron rice, clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, chicken, Spanish chorizo sausage ) Of the tapas side, we enjoyed the stuffed dates. ( bacon-wrapped, smoked almond, red wine reduction, blue cheese ) It was almost as interesting as the paella in Barcelona.

Wolfgang Puck Pizzeria and Cucina
We know his first major break was at Spago on the Sunset Strip in 1997. The Wolfgang Puck Companies encompasses over 20 fine dining Restaurants. We tried one of his wood fired oven pizzas,the Margherita, Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomatoes.Basil pizza.
Gordon Ramsey
We didn't eat here because Jo was concerned Gordon might be there and would make her do the dishes or mop the floor.
Pinks Hot Dogs.
Joanne enjoying their most popular item. Thanksgiving day in Los Vegas. Had all intentions to have the traditional dinner. These dogs were so filling that we skipped the buffet.

Fredericksburg VA
Cool nut store. 95 flavors, free tastings. We bought bacon salt, da bomb ghost pepper nuts, peanut squares and roasted almonds.
La Tienda
This store reminds me of Barcelona Spain when my son Alex and I stopped and ate at least 15 tapas bars over the week we were there.
