First things first: This delectable hot mess has little in common with more familiar Texas-style chili con carne dishes. Egg Work’s 5-Way Cincy is a heaping mound of spaghetti slathered with Cincinnati, Ohio’s variety of chili — a fragrant, dark stew of ground beef and tomatoes with notes of cocoa, allspice and cinnamon. The unexpected spice mix comes from the Greek immigrants who developed the Queen City recipe in the 1920s. With the pasta and chili making two layers, strata of kidney beans, chopped onions and shredded cheddar cheese take the count up to five. Add obligatory oyster crackers (here from Westminster Bakers Co., the best on the market). Note: You probably won’t need to eat for the rest of the day after powering through this Midwestern specialty. — Greg Thilmont

Eat this now: Pizza and Hawaiian

Oct 01, 2013

Our favorite recent dishes that have us coming back for seconds Kalua Pig Burrito at Braddah’s Island Style You’re probably used to building your own burrito, but not with sweet and smoky meats these. The newly arrived Braddah’s combines the convenience of your favorite fast, fresh Mexican-American eatery with traditional island flavors, so feel free to customize as you wish, but we can’t help ourselves when it comes to tender, shredded kalua pig.

DEALicious meals: Rise and shine -- Vegas breakfast is served

Jul 01, 2012

Whether you love classic coffee, gourmet pastry or old-school eggs and bacon, there’s no better time to wake up to breakfast in Las Vegas Morning jolt Just coffee, thanks I’m a creature of habit, especially when it comes to coffee. For most of my adult life, Starbucks’ venti-skinny-extra-hot-latte has been my caffeine constant.

We just had to ask: The executive chef

Jan 01, 2013

“It’s like being a mason, building a house in one day, and then overnight someone comes and blows it up and you have to start from scratch the next day.”

Eric Klein, executive chef at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago

Desert Companion: When you meet someone for the first time and tell them you’re a chef, what’s the reaction?

Eric Klein: They say, “Where are you working?”

 

DC: And you say, “Wolfgang Puck’s Spago.

Earth angels

Apr 01, 2013

Get a chicken, grow some veggies, walk to work: These pragmatic Las Vegans show that it’s easy to start being green Las Vegas may be Spanish for “the meadows,” but “green” is not a word generally applied to the southern tip of Nevada — unless you’re talking about extremely controlled environments like Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden or a manicured golf course. But now that it denotes ecological responsibility instead of mere hue, “green” offers Las Vegas a fresh chance to claim it.
