Eater LV:
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas goes all in on a fancy pants new eatery destination complete with celebrity chef names including Northern Thai fare from JBF Award-winning chef Andy Ricker and pork sandwiches from Rick Gencarelli, hot chicken, Japanese hand rolls, Mexican cocktails, and, of course, doughnuts.
Block 16 Urban Eatery & Bar heads to the second level of the Boulevard Tower in early fall with six quick-service restaurants.
Newcomers making their debuts in Las Vegas include the New Orleans restaurant District: Donuts. Sliders. Brew.; Ghost Donkey, a New York-born tequila and mezcal cocktail bar; Nashville’s hot Southern chicken joint Hattie B’s Hot Chicken; Lardo from Portland chef Rick Gencarelli with a menu of over-the-top sandwiches; Ricker’s Pok Pok Wing from Portland; and Tekka Bar: Handroll & Sake, an original Japanese hand roll and sake restaurant from Las Vegas restaurateur Takashi Segawa of Mon Restaurant Group fame.
AvroKO, which designed Rose.Rabbit.Lie at the resort, is behind the decor here that features corrugated metal and polished concrete framed by steel, giving the space the feel of a street food market. A graffiti wall art collage as well as neon décor accents mimic an alley. Diners can sit at booths, high tops, and counters overlooking the kitchen.
District: Donuts. Sliders. Brew. out of New Orleans serves a menu of more than 100 rotating flavors of doughnuts that include chocolate blackout and bananas Foster. A roster of breakfast dishes includes made-from-scratch biscuit sandwiches and kolache, a sweet pastry dough filled with sweet and savory ingredients. For lunch and dinner, visitors can pick up waffle cheese fries, pork belly sliders, and savory doughnut sandwiches. Of course, the specialty coffee and espresso from the original arrive in Las Vegas, as do nitro cold brew, Vietnamese iced coffee, and house-made chocolate milk poured on draft.
Ghost Donkey brings its smorgasbord of tasting flights alongside specially crafted cocktails made with traditional Mexican spirits. Hungry drinkers should order the truffle nachos, one of the bar snacks on the menu.
Hattie B’s Hot Chicken out of Nashville brings hot chicken, Southern sides, and local brews in a casual, counter-service eatery. Diners should order the hot chicken with its bath of hot melted spices, and served in a variety of heat levels from Southern (no heat), mild, medium, hot, damn hot, and Shut the Cluck Up. Pimento mac and cheese, Southern greens, and local Nashville favorite, banana pudding come along for the ride.
Portland’s Lardo specializes in pork sandwiches including the griddled mortadella, a pork meatball banh mi with pickled vegetables and Sriracha mayo, and Lardo’s dirty fries, coupled with a selection of chef Gencarelli’s favorite beers on tap from Portland.
Get very excited for the arrival of Pok Pok Wingfrom Ricker that has its own cult following. Ike’s Vietnamese fish sauce wings feature a sweet, sticky glaze with crispy bites of caramelized garlic, and steam buns in fried chicken, sweet pork and tofu, while Pok Pok Wing’s Som Soda combines fizzy, sweet, and tart flavors made with ginger, Thai basil, grapefruit and turmeric.
Tekka Bar: Handroll & Sake from Segawa of Monta Ramen, Kabuto, and Sushi Mon fame offers a riff on the ancient gambling destination in Japan that hails from more than 100 years ago, with “Tekka Ba” translating to “old gambling place.” Dishes here include the tekka tuna roll with a spicy sauce, alongside a sake collection, hand rolls made at the counter, and seafood dishes featuring blue crab, yellowtail, salmon, and more.
Earlier paperwork from the project referred to it as the Blvd Market with a revamp of the second-level former Race & Sports book to create a 3,160-square-foot dining section. The area located opposite China Poblano and next to the Marquee nightclub entrance features an early estimated construction budget of $2 million.
All joins Holsteins, Milk Bar, Momofuku, and the enormously successful Eggslut, which prompted the recent addition of a designated seating area for casual diners next to the Chandelier Bar.
Last month, the Cosmopolitan announced plans to open a new Chinese restaurant this summer. Red Plate plans to serve Cantonese dishes in the former D.O.C.G. space on the third level of the resort. The restaurant slots in between Scarpettaand Beauty & Essex. Chef Yip Cheung, who runs the kitchen at the resort’s Talon Club, takes over Red Plate with a menu of roasted meats, Chinese hot pots, and dim sum.

Still no Chris Warren III sightings I guess. Dude had burned his bridges at Texas (or failed all his classes) and took the only path open to him, and now what?
E-sports? Seems to be his main passion. Or maybe try at H-back? I dunno. Flip a coin and decide.

Awful news

Those dudes drinking too much Red Bull? That was wild. Crazy course. Also, how often is a guy crashing under yellow/safety car situation just trying to warm up his tires? Solid entertainment on this race.

Excited for him. Been a great story and hopefully he will win a Super Bowl someday.

It was on espn2 this morning. I got lucky flipping channels and caught the whole thing. Last year this is where Vettle and Hamilton had the dust up and they are 1-2 to start tomorrow should be fun.

Congrats to Malik. Looks like he lit up the club in Dallas last night with his crew including Heard, Shark, other players and Lil Wayne. Funny to see Malik chug some expensive champagne from the bottle.

Dr. Joseph Dolan: You know, it's a shame about Ed.
Fletch: Oh, it was. Yeah, it was really a shame. To go so suddenly like that.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: He was dying for years.
Fletch: Sure, but... the end was very... very sudden.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: He was in intensive care for eight weeks.
Fletch: Yeah, but I mean the very end, when he actually died. That was extremely sudden.

Well they were a 5-some according to the article. Just to add to the lulz.

Condolences pouring in

I never heard that the suspect was detained by the security guard at HD, only that he was spotted and known by the security guard to have a warrant out for him, so then the security guard called for the police.

One time
-
All started at the home depot on forest right?
Yes. Their security officer spotted a guy known to the police for theft and he had arrest warrant outstanding. Security officer called for the police to come arrest the guy. When the two officers showed up, the suspect shot all three of the officers and fled the scene. -
Female officer was shot in the face, the male in the back of the head. Various reports that he died or was being kept on life support until the family could get to the hospital.
Yep, local ABC reporter was quick on the scene and she was reporting that info. She said one officer would not make it. -
It’s the same incident yes. That’s why ROCC was locked down because it happened it that area and they had reports he might be still nearby. The police chase tonight stared when he was spotted south of town. Came thru Uptown and caught in West HP/Oaklawn area.

Walking around Rome today, the Liverpool supporters are out in force. Double fisting beers in the streets and signing their songs. Seemed like extra security around town today. I don’t know squat about either squad but will be watching because it’s kind of a big deal here. I left my Messi jersey at home.
