    Pastry Chef Stephanie Nikolic tells us the origins of Delmonico’s recipe for this Southern dessert staple are unknown, but it’s so popular, “it comes with the restaurant and no one would dream of taking it off the menu.” One bite past the crackling crust, bursting with pecan, butter, egg and sugar goodness and you will taste why. Nikolic says baking the individual pies in “old-fashioned, buttered, cast-iron pans” makes all the difference, giving it a “comfort food, homemade feel.” True enough, but we think topping it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, alongside some silky whipped cream, atop a perfect, sticky-sweet caramel sauce, is pure Big Easy.  While you are at it try the legendary prime hamburger and pan-seared fois gras.  Don't forget to ask Max Solano to mix you a drink from the Secret Cocktail Menu.  Winner of Desert Companion 2015 Restaurant Awards for "Bartender of the Year."

    Desert Companion Restaurant Awards

    Dec 01, 2014

    2014 was an anxious year for foodies — but a good kind of anxious. The kind of anxious that comes from maintaining a feverish, nearly athletic dining schedule to try to keep up with all the new restaurants that opened this year.

    Why we should be called Burger City

    Dec 01, 2011

    Does Las Vegas have an official food? It does now: The hamburger. Here’s why

    Many months ago, way before the popular food truck he created with his friend Robert “Mags” Magsalin blossomed into the kind of fresh, hip Hollywood eatery where Jim Carrey would pop in on opening night, Colin Fukunaga was talking a little smack.

    Summer Dining 2019

    Jun 24, 2019

    What’s a foodie’s summer frolic without that seasonal dessert mainstay, pie? Whether they’re bulging with fruit or laden with cream, pies are at once blamelessly domestic and shamelessly indulgent.
