Make sure we got everything on there [Music] super excited today back in my hometown
00:00:11
las vegas nevada things are definitely a lot different but that doesn't mean the city can't
00:00:16
reinvent itself joining up with our friends over at lip smacking foodie tours they
00:00:20
actually have a new self-guided tour called the finger licking foodie tour we chose one of three options which is
00:00:26
the off the strip version some of the best hidden gems in las vegas are the restaurants and strip
00:00:32
malls i know i said it strip malls so we're going up to one of the first places here atop a spot
00:00:38
espana gotta mask up what do we have here it's the hendrix gin and tonic
00:00:52
nothing like a gin and tonic on a hot summer day so edo gastric tapas and wine is a
00:01:04
barcelona themed spanish concept it's from around the world as well but focusing on
00:01:09
barcelona and focusing on spain where chef oscar amador is from hi i'm chef oscar amador from india
00:01:16
tapas here in vegas we are serving tonight for the finger licking tour montanito de jamon we are serving
00:01:22
to a green tartare with a pistachio vinaigrette and some rice crackers
00:01:27
and then our special croquetta of the week that this week is porcini mushrooms and lobster and then
00:01:33
to finish we're gonna fill it with the bikini one of the staples of the house that is a
00:01:37
breast sandwich with soda salad and munchies my favorite yeah so the first dish
00:01:45
montadito of hamoni bariko the hamoni bariko straight from spain all acorn fed
00:01:59
already one of my favorite things i have and this is spectacular ready for the ball of deliciousness
00:02:10
[Music] i can't wait to come back here and uh also excited for the rest of the
00:02:17
restaurants on the tour wow that was incredible i can't believe i have
00:02:27
two more places to go uh uber's right here included in the tour so you don't even
00:02:33
have to think about anything let's go [Music]
00:02:41
on to stop number two the finger licking foodie tour going to a local favorite lemai this is
00:02:47
a restaurant i've actually been too incredible very difficult to get into which is why
00:02:53
you need to do the tour [Music] very light fresh hint of garlic
00:03:28
perfect little seasoning on top of it got a little bit of a kick but not enough to force you to go to the
00:03:34
tequila drink [Music] oh wow this pad thai crispy prawn with
00:03:41
rice noodles have been sprouted green onions crushed peanuts
00:03:47
with the tamarind sauce with a nice little flower [Music]
00:03:55
[Applause] such a difference when you actually have real prawns not like this tiny little
00:04:00
shrimp you're sprinkling the infield with but like the real props like you know the ones that
00:04:05
sitting on top of the whole pad thai that's when you know you've come to a legit place who'da thought inside of a
00:04:11
strip mall oh that was some of the best tie i've ever had
00:04:17
you're gonna have to wheel the hotel boss home still got one restaurant to go yeah i've never been here before excited
00:04:23
to taste the cuisine tough to get in here especially now with all the social distancing requirements
00:04:28
but excited to be able to go on the tour and be able to check this place out [Music]
00:04:52
spring mountain sour as you can see here these aren't your normal drinks beets inside of a cocktail i said the
00:04:59
same thing but you gotta trust the owner when he says this is one of their signature
00:05:04
cocktails cheers free korean short ribs this is not
00:05:11
fusion here it's sort of the bad f word you call it more borderless chef really does steel flakes i like that i like
00:05:17
that really bad and i finish off with some great crunchy stuff ferrari sesame seeds
00:05:21
scallions in the middle is jowl zhao is a thai steak vinaigrette
00:05:26
the idea is it's a hit all points of the palette sweet salty spicy a ton of umami like tickles on the back
00:05:31
of the neck so this is gonna fall off the bone with a dirty look the knife is simply to intimidate
00:05:36
other people i'm going in [Music] [Applause]
00:05:43
[Music] all right put you right here back on the neck
00:05:50
all the different flavors little crunch my ribs at home don't taste like this for our coup de gracie this is sparrow
00:05:58
almost honey toast the only dessert that's been on our menu since we've opened the restaurant
00:06:02
and it's a tribute to being in chinatown uh this'll make you feel like you did something wrong but i believe that
00:06:06
guilt and good food go hand in hand brother so i hope you've enjoyed it no thank you so much we genuinely
00:06:12
appreciate no thank you so much your hospitality you know i really appreciate it
00:06:16
food is incredible dig it in make sure you got everything on there this shouldn't be legal amazing
00:06:32
finger licking foodie tour pro hack pace yourself i got a little aggressive once i saw the
00:06:38
jamon one of my favorite dishes boom jumped right in i ensured that i walked around a little bit did a couple
00:06:44
laps around the building let it flush let it flush my point is there's a ton of food
00:06:49
this is such great value i can't even imagine the price point to be honest with you add the drinks on top of it
00:06:55
there's no better deal in vegas three restaurants you get to taste everything within that
00:07:00
type of cruising totally different cuisines today you saw it i went tapas all the
00:07:05
way out to espana then i had thai food yes next to it macy's home furniture store bet you would have never gone
00:07:12
there and then came to one of the most eclectic restaurants here in las vegas
00:07:18
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
