All I have to say is "She betta have my Money!"

On the Street....Shinsa-dong, Kangnam-gu, Seoul

posted by The Sartorialist at 8:41 AM

I've walked down fremont street East past the El Cortez at 1am.
I've walked down the strip passed flamingo at 2 am.
I've walked by the main bar at Red Rock station at 3am.

But I have yet to see in Vegas the style of this guy from Seoul Korea. or should I say "Soul, baby"

May all your rolls come up 11 and all your horses win.

Great Las Vegas food only one click (or block) away

a href="arthurpeterson.com"> Las Vegas Food from the side of the road has changed.
For the better

via Eating Las Vegas by John Curtas on 1/12/11

They had us at “Cincinnati Chili.”

As many of you might know, ELV is no fan of food trucks. They’re just a trendy way to eat cheap (and standing up) whilst feeling good about doing so. Ya gotta hand it to the people behind these traveling taco circuses though, they’ve figured out a way to get office workers eating something other than Subway, so for that we are thankful.

But we also expect them to turn up any day now on the website: Stuff White People Like. Because essentially food trucks are simply white people eating the way Mexican day laborers have for decades. And for decades white people felt sorry for all those poor working stiffs who had to eat food standing up…out of a truck!

But we don’t anymore….feel sorry for them or mind eating out of truck…so that’s a good thing. Right?

Regardless of his general feelings about these rolling “restaurants,” ELV specifically found the ‘cue being put out by James “Jimmy” Cole from his Top Notch Barbecue truck to be all that its name promised.

It scored points right off the bat by not being made by white people. Good, meaty beef ribs, properly smoked, tender (but not too tender) with a nice rub and a nice bite to them. Cole’s homemade sauce is a not-too-sweet-tomato-based-winner too. As were his spicy baked beans and the very sweet sweet potato casserole. (Just the way ELV’s mammy used to make it.)

As good as those were, though, it was his $6 pulled pork sandwich topped with Cincinnati chili that grabbed our attention. This slightly spicy meat bomb might be the apotheosis of protein, and is worth seeking out for its quirkiness as well as its flavor.

FYI: Our barbecue trail led us from the parking lot of Plant World on West Charleston (where Top Notch parked) to downtown to sample another recent entry into Vegas’ barbecue sweepstakes. It was no contest. The recently-opened downtown joint (which shall remain nameless) was so bad, ELV and his ‘cue companion were speechless. Tough, undercooked and un-seasoned ribs, were only half the problem. The pulled pork had not a hint of smoke to it, and could’ve been steamed for all it looked and tasted of.

But Cole’s meat is so good we didn’t mind a bit eating out of the back of Bruce “Barbecue Boy” Bloch’s SUV, and we plan on finding Jimmy for some more Cincinnati-style ‘cue no matter where he’s parked…or where we have to stand.

Las Vegas Neon Bone Yard

Las Vegas Neon Bone Yard Park.

 
My cousin Nichole took her wedding pictures with Jeff in the old storage area where the signs where just dropped by a crane for storage.  It was a great place to take beautiful pictures.

Loved those pics by the way.  I wish I would have thought of that 18 years ago when I got married.

The old boneyard was a dirt lot next to Cashman Field, with a chain link fence and do not trespass signs all over it, But not anymore.

Now its a full blown park.  The La Concha ,the shell shaped building that used to live by the peppermill restaurant  is now the parks main building.

I wonder if the new pics there will be as cool?

What Old Famous Vegas Casino Signs would you like to see in the Park?
Make sure and leave some comments below.
