Las Vegas — Pink’s Hot Dogs

The Showgirl Dog

Relish, Tomatoes, Onion, Sour Cream, Bacon, & Sauerkraut

Yeah, we know… it’s a weird and unique combination.

Surprisingly, this was the best of the Pink’s Hot Dog bunch. (To clarify, we mean out of the hot dogs that we tasted.) We […]

In-N-Out Burger

In-N-Out Burger — The Double-Double

Aren’t they just demanding to be eaten?

And, the fries? They simply can’t be ignored. As a matter of fact, they deserve almost equal attention. They’re delicious.

(Psst… Be sure to ask for […]

Pandan Cakes

Honestly, we weren’t expecting much. So, we were very happily surprised with these. They’re a bit like a Twinkie.

Pumpkin Pie Spiced Donut

So, let’s say you stop visiting a place for a very long time. You know that it’s a place that you don’t enjoy it. But, you forget exactly why. This “creme” filling was an instant reminder. They can’t call it buttercream. Why, you ask? […]

Paris Baguette — Liege Waffles

Paris Baguette’s Liège Style Waffle

Liege waffles, Belgian sugar waffles, gaufrettes, gaulettes, gullets,

or …

Gaufres de Liège

Paris Baguette — Mont Blanc

Paris Baguette’s Mont Blanc Pastry

Incredibly rich with a piping of dense chestnut paste on top and stuffed with two little roasted chestnuts under the paste, these were divine. We both love just about anything and everything with chestnuts. Yes, the chestnut paste might be […]
