Tuples and Attributes

I’ve now been here in Henderson about seven months and am still searching for “go to” restaurants to replace my Palm Desert favorites. It’s a tough thing having to try out all these different dining venues!

We do have a terrific Greek restaurant: The Greek Bistro. The gyros are marvelous, they have pistichio on the menu, and they have a fabulous desert called namoorah. But my favorite, so far, is Shrimp a la Greek: shrimp cooked in garlic sauce over Spanish rice with almonds and raisins. It’s also good with falafel in place of the shrimp.

Still haven’t found any place with pancakes as good as The Palms, but mom and I are both willing to keep trying. We have had much better luck with replacing The Palms chocolate chip waffle. We found a little place called Coo-Coos that makes the best waffle I’ve ever had.

It is surprisingly hard to find a breakfast place here that has muffins or cinnamon rolls or the like. I usually like to support local places rather than chains, but went to Mimi’s this morning to try their pastries; best we’ve had so far. We’ll have to try their French toast yet as we still haven’t found any place to match Don and Sweet Sue’s.

Also still looking for a non-chain restaurant that serves an Impossible Burger. Went to Red Robin for one the other day, but it didn’t hold a candle to the one at Paradise Cove.

We do have several really good lunch and dinner restaurants right here in the Village. It’s fun to take the golf cart down and pull up to the front door. We have French, American, Mexican, and Italian gelato among others.

Haven’t tried much in Vegas itself. Did go to Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill; outstanding! From the margarita to the appetizers to the New Mexican Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin, everything was absolutely perfect. I’d go back anytime.
