For me it was <a href="http://www.foodhuntersguide.com/2016/06/clams-oreganata.html" target="_blank">Clams Oreganata</a> that made its way to our kitchen table most often. However, similar to Tucci's Nonna, my maternal grandmother was known for her juicy steaks flavored with oregano.</p><br /><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C20Q_s7oNvl/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

But somewhere in the<b> </b>early 90's - some say it was 1992 with the opening of Wolfgang Puck's Spago - the Las Vegas food scene undertook a shift. High-end celebrity-chef driven restaurants began popping up everywhere and crowds began flocking to the city not only for the gaming but the culinary experience they were promised. </p><p style="text-align: center;">

</p><p>These days fine dining establishments seem to dominate the culinary offerings of the city; making it hard to decide where to eat. Since it's impossible to list all the outstanding eateries in Las Vegas, I've chosen the 5 below which I think showcase well the diverse offerings when it comes to food + cocktails. Whether you're a
visitor or a local looking to explore, I hope these
suggestions will lead you to some tasty new adventures.<br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">1. The Mayfair Supper Club</span></b></p><p>You're invited to so much more than dinner at the fabulous Mayfair Supper Club. Set against the Fountains of Bellagio, the Mayfair is inspired by top supper clubs around the world. It promises not only a feast for the senses with impeccable presentations, flavor profiles and spirit selections, but also a return to the glamorous eras of Las Vegas and old New York.

Even better is that it serves all the delicious food you remember from the movie - Cubanos, grilled cheese, chocolate lava cake, beignets and more. <br /></p><p>During my visit I was also able to connect with Choi + Favreau to discuss. It was apparent that the bond between the chef and director extended beyond the movie. Both agreed it began when Choi persuaded Favreau to go
to culinary school for his acting role in “Chef." </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="439" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ivPcKJYnHOE" width="528" youtube-src-id="ivPcKJYnHOE"></iframe></div> <p>Favreau said he was appreciative of that and that it helped him a lot. When I asked Favreau if he continues to cook today he told me that he uses the skills he learned as an opportunity to bond with his son.

for a while and that he was grateful to finally get the chance at Park

Microwaved stuffing or dry turkey; didn't appeal to me. However, there was one item on our holiday table, that I could effortlessly eat over and over. The infamous sweet potato casserole, when spooned and added to pantry staples transforms nicely into an amazing, post-feast breakfast. <br /></p><p>If you find yourself with leftovers of this Thanksgiving side-dish give this delicious breakfast recipe a try. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Potato Casserole Pancakes</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicrjK2kAkBbd3H-uzUKxWXHaKuJVN2PmNN-7kqFbW7Lb3BepoEsITlg1Pto9bxwTbyAl5m5Kd5cU2rg2ai8aQgRpUX80cdJMfLr7iGHGb8q5h9Tfw1X3v-u2tCvnhEi9ZSYk2pXWzhIZg06WHZrpolFmpnoDvYSWHt-sX48qoTnQMsGkXY-W2fS-__YTs/s3380/IMG_1497.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2891" data-original-width="3380" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicrjK2kAkBbd3H-uzUKxWXHaKuJVN2PmNN-7kqFbW7Lb3BepoEsITlg1Pto9bxwTbyAl5m5Kd5cU2rg2ai8aQgRpUX80cdJMfLr7iGHGb8q5h9Tfw1X3v-u2tCvnhEi9ZSYk2pXWzhIZg06WHZrpolFmpnoDvYSWHt-sX48qoTnQMsGkXY-W2fS-__YTs/w640-h548/IMG_1497.heic" width="640" /></a></span></b></div><p></p><p>makes 6 pancakes</p><p>1/2 cup leftover mashed sweet potatoes<br />1 large egg, slightly beaten<br />1/2 cup milk<br />1 cup flour<br />1 tsp baking powder</p><p>Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

you find it difficult choosing wine for Thanksgiving - a meal with so
many flavors and people around one table - you've come to the right
place. What I've learned from hosting past holiday meals is that the
best wine is the one that makes the most people happy. At our house this
equals a nice elegant bottle of red - nothing to deep or to delicate. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Taking
it one step further I've tapped into a few expert wine makers for
advice on the best red wines to pair with turkey day foods. Below are
their choices. I hope you will give some a try.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Happy Thanksgiving!!!</b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">1.

this wine shows notes of black cherry and raspberry. On the palate, the
fruit remains the same and is joined by hints of black pepper and clove.
This bright fruit forward wine pairs gracefully with the many
Thanksgiving dishes on your table. It is delicate enough to not
overpower green beans while the acidity will cut through rich dishes
such as hearty mac-n-cheese. A winner at our house.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="line-break: after-white-space;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5YUPYtdywz3sMoLVGTX-nmDhIf7RLtB2t2N6S4hHgEYJJ1A9QuJn3Kck_X1rJULfn6N2Uefzkyc0DxYRqN16ZvBGYz6DoH4rfvp7skycWdSqWoQmaP0JMOdGrWTJ7A7LSXzmlIDRvQAyquxPkwqz-agihxxqjOInbdpKZes7hnHv-4YU5ECWz7IoYo90/s4032/IMG_1336.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5YUPYtdywz3sMoLVGTX-nmDhIf7RLtB2t2N6S4hHgEYJJ1A9QuJn3Kck_X1rJULfn6N2Uefzkyc0DxYRqN16ZvBGYz6DoH4rfvp7skycWdSqWoQmaP0JMOdGrWTJ7A7LSXzmlIDRvQAyquxPkwqz-agihxxqjOInbdpKZes7hnHv-4YU5ECWz7IoYo90/w300-h400/IMG_1336.heic" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">

It's a dish that is on on our table every
Thanksgiving and is enjoyed by all. This particular recipe includes sausage, onion, celery, mushrooms, lots of fresh
herbs and the star ingredient: rapini. </p><p>If you aren't familiar
rapini is a green vegetable that resembles broccoli but is more closely
related to the turnip. It has a peppery, slightly bitter taste that you
either love or hate. <br /></p><p>This stuffing is truly delicious and really easy to make! I hope you give it a try.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiQ6uLDUL_Dv5hi5qRfi8envVEOKg4qc3xjAyyI7Hhtg1Qm3zkaVUXBrAGKi58SyB7fwie1K-TdqdOABN1M_rfsCcsLb-n1a7ok8Wu9bYfAma9lnObFTl78tfl_vliW-hTm6IN0aRKgMVNzukvUUyiYY82LLXLdGMTctj1tfj9B3qUp9UEkMbPbYog4k/s4032/IMG_2508.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiQ6uLDUL_Dv5hi5qRfi8envVEOKg4qc3xjAyyI7Hhtg1Qm3zkaVUXBrAGKi58SyB7fwie1K-TdqdOABN1M_rfsCcsLb-n1a7ok8Wu9bYfAma9lnObFTl78tfl_vliW-hTm6IN0aRKgMVNzukvUUyiYY82LLXLdGMTctj1tfj9B3qUp9UEkMbPbYog4k/w480-h640/IMG_2508.JPG" width="480" /></a></span></b></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Italian Sausage & Rapini Stuffing</span></b><br />1 loaf of Italian bread chopped into 1-inch cubes (8 cups)<br />1-2 bunches broccoli rabe<br />4 Tbsp. unsalted butter<br />1 Lb. sweet Italian sausage, crumbled<br />1 cup onion, diced small<br />2 celery stalks, diced small<br />1 package cremini mushrooms, chopped<br />10 fresh sage leaves, minced<br />1 Tbsp. fresh thyme, minced<br />1/2-1 cup grated pecorino cheese<br />1-2 cups chicken stock<br />salt and pepper to taste. <br /><br />Preheat the oven to 350ºF. <br /><br />Spread the bread onto a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the bread is crispy.<br /><br />In

This cake is deliciously dense and moist, and studded with tons of cinnamon-sugar coated apples.
I typically only use Granny Smith apples but honestly any type apple will work here; as long as you start with the freshest apples you can
find. </p><p>The cake batter is simple to whip up and takes 60 minutes to bake. Most of your time is spent peeling and slicing the apples. I suggest slices them thin for the perfect consistency.
It's a good idea to use a tube pan for baking this cake and if you have one
with a removable bottom even better. The cake will be tall, and very moist when removed from the pan, so be sure to do it gently.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpyM6TjTQ4b_Ep_nWyMV5aJ4nm0LoB_jy8i6SShneG3A137rVhnGKc3KHzLH-_2pt0LPwYLRSBIiX5LimUX-iIzlmmJ4dIQ86TrhotLRSsYWepOP2U77WAfM41MBYx8R9Xqf1I3pSaDixLsk_AWR5GT1_QuqLpFyIR7sFz9bnr1KhEZQdpZ7GZMGVX30k/s3614/fall%20cake.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="3614" data-original-width="2787" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpyM6TjTQ4b_Ep_nWyMV5aJ4nm0LoB_jy8i6SShneG3A137rVhnGKc3KHzLH-_2pt0LPwYLRSBIiX5LimUX-iIzlmmJ4dIQ86TrhotLRSsYWepOP2U77WAfM41MBYx8R9Xqf1I3pSaDixLsk_AWR5GT1_QuqLpFyIR7sFz9bnr1KhEZQdpZ7GZMGVX30k/w494-h640/fall%20cake.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><br /><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Apple Cinnamon Cake</span></b><br /></p><p><b>For the cake</b><br />
