| |  Cooked, Jeff Henderson
Anybody familiar with Cooked by Jeff Henderson. From my understanding, it is not a cookbook, necessarily. Rather, it is Henderson's story of his journey from the streets of California to the kitchens of the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace (as exec chef!) I will be attending a conference where Henderson is the keynote speaker, so I am trying to get a little info on him/his book before the occassion. I have requested the book from my library, but I am still waiting.

You are only as old as you feel, young man!! Think of the culinary adventure... we could feast at Bellagio... MGM... we could go for steak at the Palm... pasta at the Venetian.... and the $1.99 buffets when we go broke at the roulette tables  We would have enough material to fill a whole ChefTalk blog for months!

Mohegan sun because my wife wanted to "experience" a casino. To both of us it was dreadful, people at the slots had looks of zombies, neither of us understood even how to use a slot machine  So, if I'm in Vegas, it's not going to be gambling.I will however eat my way through as many establishments as possible. Feast at Bellagio eh, I'm in.
