Or at least I think that’s what happened, because after a few shots I’m not sure if I was just fantasizing about him “checking in” with me or it was really happening. Also exceptional? Our waiter who was so gluten knowledgable he kept checking in with me throughout the night. (You will be excused for never, ever, never, having that desire.) Chef Stephen Hopcraft, of “Top Chef” fame, clearly loves to cook within an environment that encourages table side grinding and sex in the bathrooms, because the food at STK is exceptional. If you’ve ever thought, hey, I really want to enjoy my high-end dinner while right in the middle of a Vegas nightclub, STK is the spot for you. I’m on a mission to recreate that business in my house, because coconut rice makes me feel all warm inside. As if that didn’t make me happy enough, I stole coconut rice from my dining neighbor and I wish I’d ordered five bowls of that lusciousness for lunch. But you know what? They totally had wheat-free tamari ready to go as well. I ordered the Green Envy rolls without the wasabi pea crust (sharp eye, waitress!) but with aji amarillo-key lime mayo, which meant I didn’t even need the devil soy sauce for dipping and instead could enjoy the gluten-free accoutrement without fear. Maybe it was the waitress who was so on top of this gluten-free business that I felt like I could just tell her to bring me out plates and I’d chow down with confidence, but I was in sushi heaven at the Samba. I’m now wishing I could go back in time and remedy that situation because it was super fun times. Sick!Įven though I used to cruise by it all the time, I never dined at Sushi Samba when I lived in New York. Also a fact? I ate at all of these restaurants and I was only in Vegas for about 24 hours. I happily got my gluten-free eat on at these restaurants, and all of them were ah-mah-zing. Which is how we found ourselves at Sushi Samba, STK and brunch at Bouchon. You’re welcome, Rebecca.Īlso luckily, I travel with people who have incredible taste in restaurants. (Me and Grandma raked it IN.) For that kindness I will not post any photos of any of these lovely women in compromising positions. Or at least had the courtesy to talk about me behind my back while I was away, killing it at the slot machines. Luckily I traveled with a group of accommodating ladies who didn’t seem to mind me quizzing the wait staff when we sat down to eat. For those of us with Celiac, however, no matter how many martinis are tossed back we’ve still gotta’ check the menu for gluten. How much cash you can lose and still pay the mortgage, how many free vodka gimlets you can score from the casino waitress, and how much does a hooker cost, anyway? These thoughts will take up much more of your head space. Let me just go out on a limb and say if you’re traveling to Vegas, your main focus isn’t sticking to your diet.
