About this episode

The episode explores the appeal of steakhouses in Las Vegas with insights from various guests.

First up are Mark DeVol and Dr. Mike from the iconic You Can Bet on That podcast. While these two sensibly focus their time in Vegas on the important business of gambling, they also frequent a steakhouse now and again and today, they share their thoughts and picks. Dr. Mike also tells what I’ve titled “The Gravy Story” in my mind, a fantastic tale that inspired the title of today’s episode. Next you’ll hear from Adam Bauer , one third of the terrific Handy at the Chandy podcast and curator of Cheapskate Vegas . Adam shares my life experience of having worked in a steakhouse and he’s a Chicago guy to boot, which means he knows all about steak. Adam and I talk beef, mocktails and his pick for a Vegas outpost of a venerable Chicago steakhouse . Finally, I am delighted to welcome back to the podcast the talented and wonderful Chef Nicole…
