Too sweet to handle?...Jean Philippe Patisserie

I have a confession. I am in love with Jean Philippe Patisserie. I don't know if it's the artistic genius of Chef Jean Philippe Mary displayed through the creation of his pastries, baguettes, candies, and crepes, or it's just because I'm a sucker for pastries. But either way, I really enjoy all this place has to offer. There are honestly

An Intense Treat of Near Perfection

After a long exhausting day of traveling, I decided to end my night on a good note by making a pit stop at my favorite patisserie, Jean Philippe Patisserie at the Aria Resort Las Vegas. Although this patisserie displays the artistic mastery of world pastry champion Jean Philippe through the creation of his pastries, cakes, baguettes, gelato, and chocolate candies, I personally feel that the highlight of this establishment is their freshly made warm crepes.  After trying to resist the temptation of buying one of everything at this shop, I decided to settle one of their famous chocolate crepes. Now I must say that this chocolate crepe is a very luscious treat. From the first moment you sink your teeth into this warm crepe, your taste buds are greeted by an intense chocolate tang. Complimented with the chewiness of the crepe, and the cold sweetness of the whipped topping, you will find this dessert to be at its finest. Now the crepe itself is quite chewy and almost essentially tasteless, with just a small hint of vanilla. The crepe serves primarily as a base for this dessert, while the chocolate sauce, brownie pieces, and chocolate flakes truly adds the kick that this dessert needs. But with the artful combination of all these elements, this dessert is on the threshold to perfection. 

It's Been A While

I hope you guys have had a happy holiday because I know I sure did. As you can probably notice by the "deadness" of the site, I haven't been really posting anything new. Well that's probably because I haven't tried any food worth writing about....which is oddly strange because I can't seem to stop myself from going out and trying some crazy new dish that everyone is crazing about. But hopefully that will change very soon because I will be going to possibly my favorite vacation destination, behind Disney World of course, Las Vegas! This is my favorite food destination because I can basically put myself into a food coma with all the selections of fantastic restaurants, unique patisseries, and of course my fave....buffets. Now besides hitting up the famous pastry shop by renowned pastry champion Jean Philippe, or checking out the famous Frozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity 3, I am gonna do something I like to call the Las Vegas Buffet Challenge. I am going to try to eat at a buffet for all three meals for one week. Plus, depending on how far my wallet can carry me, I'm gonna make it my mission to try all the best buffets on the strip (last I checked, the "Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas" rated 10 of their best buffets found on Las Vegas Blvd). This will be a delicious adventure that just might kill me.  But hey, I don't care because to me, enjoying a succulent and delicious dining experience for 3 hours a day is something worth dying for. So just be on the look out for my Las Vegas Series during the next two weeks...if of course I am not in that food coma. Thanks!

The Best Restaurants and Buffets in Las Vegas

If you are like me, then you are probably a huge foodie. And in my opinion, there’s no better place to experience some fantastic dishes and unique cuisines than in the dazzling city of Las Vegas. “Whether you love the traditional burgers and fries or you prefer the Wagyu Beef and caviar, Las Vegas has it all.  From casual and quick eats to buffets and fine dining, there’s a place for you.  Carla Pellegrino, Charlie Palmer, Wolfgang Puck, Joel Robuchon, Michael Mina, Bobby Flay and Batali Bartollota- you name it and Vegas has it. This is possibly one of the greatest places for foodies and gourmet indulgers.  So don’t be shy, go ahead and try it all!” – Under 21 Guide to Las Vegas

Well in case you were wondering, you can find the best buffets, casual restaurants, fine dining establishments, and more, all in my new eBook, the Under 21 Guide to Las Vegas. In this guide you will find the best attractions, restaurants, shopping, spas, outdoor activities, and shows that are great for those less than 21 years old.  You see, I understand that there are many guidebooks out there about Las Vegas, but unfortunately they truly only focus on the people who can gamble, party, drink, etc…Some guidebooks do talk about kids in Las Vegas but they are missing that one particular group, the 18-20 crowd.  That’s why it is my goal to provide you with the best information to help you make the most out of your Las Vegas trip.  From little kids to young adults, this book is the ultimate guide for the under 21 crowd. I even hid a few little surprises and secrets. So let’s find those surprises. Come on in!

This is the perfect travel companion for those who are looking for a different perspective of Las Vegas, as well as a nice listing of the best casual, themed, fine, and all-you-can-eat restaurants. To enter this food haven, click HERE (of just click on the picture of the book)
