The official CitySpoon website will be up and running on June 1st. What better way to kick off the site than help support No Kid Hungry in Nevada at Taste of the Nation inside Rain at the Palms. It was a wonderful even filled with great food, great chefs, mixologists, and non the less great supporters all for a great cause. One hundred percent of funds raised went to local Las Vegas beneficiaries Three Square Food Bank, Project Mana, Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, and UNCE Chefs for Kids 
Las Vegas is the home of some of the best restaurants in the world, and many of them were at the Palms that evening showcasing their exquisite recipes for food and cocktails in which CitySpoon will share the hottest deals and places throughout Las Vegas for the benefit of the people.
Restaurants including Alize, Island Sushi and Grill, Bradley Ogden, Union Steakhouse, Bar Masa, Roy’s, N9NE Steakhouse, TAO, NOVE Italiano, BOA Steakehouse, Nobu, LAVO, Sushi Roku, Holstein’s, Wazuzu and many more contributed and created the most mouth watering dishes I have ever been in the presence of in one area. 
Above is Executive Chef Drew Terp with Bar Masa, which offers a Modern Japenese Cuisine, located in the ARIA Resort and Casino. Chef Terp had prepared Australian Kobe Beef skewers with a yuzu spice among a other flavorful dishes that included the highest grade beef you can get in the United States. Thanks Bar Masa, Delicious!
The pool outside the Palms was surrounded by aroma’s of mojitos, food trucks, and an overwhelming amount of 5 star dishes.
Inside Rain Nightclub, many other unique dishes were being created by a whole bunch of creative and hard working chefs. If I only had enough room in my stomach to try it all, trust me I would have. From dishes that I could not pronounce to red velvet mini cupcakes with cream cheese frosting as well at mini meatball sliders with fried mozzarella and pepperoncinis from Simon’s Restaurant Lounge inside Palms Place there was nothing that I would eat five of.

In 2010 came the vehicular culinary extravaganza which changed the culinary world of Vegas. It’s funny because all these other cities are already ahead of us with these amazing trucks. This brings us to the topic of the day. With shows like “Chopped” or “Hell’s Kitchen,” even the “The Great American Truck Race” reminds us that this is the time for the “Foodie” or self proclaimed “Foodies.” These food trucks that are popping up all over the Vegas Valley are out and ready to cash in on this glorious concept!
For instance, on April 2, 2011 there was a Food Truck event with some of the local big boys like Slidin Thru, the LBS Patty Wagon, the snow cone ppl, plus some new ones like BBQ Boy and Sweet Bunz, Lulu’s , Curbside Cafe.
What made this cool was there were a lot of people there. It was like 200 an hour from just watching. It was nice to see droves of locals come out and support the local businesses. Even though there were some corp guys there, its the mom and pops that make it worth it.
It was cool because BBQBoy was the first Filipino Truck out. There was actual taco trucks there…OH Yea H & H BBQ was ridiculously off the hook! You need to check out the bohemeth they came with….one of the biggest smokers I’ve ever seen. It just gave me an idea to do our own CitySpoon sanctioned event with the trucks even from other cities….It would be amazing! Check out the video here!
Yes this is my cheesey attempt on Videography…but hey I tried!
How rad is it to have that many people show up and all that good food go out! With so much to try I hope people will come out and support more. Watch out big guys! Because the little guys are putting up a fight!
