5 foods and drinks in Las Vegas we can’t stop thinking about
Some foods just stick with you.
This isn’t about the ones that go straight to expanding your stomach or thighs — although some of these certainly will.
Instead, we’re taking a look at some of the foods and drinks covered here in Faves & Craves that we just can’t stop thinking about.
Whale Burger
A pound of Australian Wagyu beef is topped with a 6-ounce fried lobster tail, three slices of gold-dusted Billionaire’s Bacon, two slices of truffle cheese, housemade bacon jam, baby arugula and roasted garlic aioli. It comes with a 375-milliliter bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne.
$135; Slater’s 50/50 at 7511 W. Lake Mead Blvd. and 467 E. Silverado Ranch Blvd.
Cereal Cocktail
Sugary breakfast treats like Froot Loops, Cap’n Crunch and Frosted Flakes are muddled into milk, sugar and vodka before being shaken and strained into a glass with marshmallow fluff and cereal coating the rim.
$15; Early Birds — A Breakfast Spot at 5025 Blue Diamond Road
Death by Chocolate
Devil’s food cake is dressed up with a blood-red raspberry sauce handprint, shards of feuilletine crunch, a scoop of raspberry sorbet and cracked doll heads made of white chocolate.
