Taste of the Town: Pointing the way to caches of anchovy-stuffed olives
Help is on the way for Lana and Len Lacombe, who are almost out of anchovy-stuffed olives for their martinis.
Gary W. Hansen, who said he also uses them in martinis, gets his at Total Wine &More at 501 N. Stephanie St. in Henderson; there’s another Total Wine at 730 S. Rampart Blvd. Edith Levitt also recommended Total Wine, as well as Wal-Mart Supercenter at 3075 E. Tropicana Ave. Marlene Drozd and Ann Brown reported finding them at Glazier’s Food Marketplace, 8525 W. Warm Springs Road.
The Jensens at Village Meat &Wine, 5025 S. Eastern Ave., emailed that they carry them. And Burma McGahan reported finding them at the Avila Valley Barn in San Luis Obispo, Calif., adding that they’re also available through www.LBOlives.com (805-343-2310). …
For Richard Markus, who’s looking for a restaurant, preferably away from the Strip, that serves lamb chops, Angelica Orme recommended Ventano Italian Grill &Seafood at 191 S. Arroyo Grande Blvd. in Henderson, where, she said, the appetizer of French-cut lamb chops served on a sizzling stone “is more than enough for dinner if you pair it with a side of pasta or a salad.” Esther Lynn recommended Carve Steak House at the Eastside Cannery, 5255 Boulder Highway. Linda Pruter recommended the lamb T-bone appetizer at Montana Meat Co. at 6371 Centennial Center Blvd. Paige and Linda Livington recommended the chops at Steiner’s — A Nevada-Style Pub at 8168 Las Vegas Blvd. South, noting that they’re half-off during happy hour (there are two other Steiner’s locations in the valley), and Twin Creeks Steakhouse at Silverton, 3333 Blue Diamond Road, adding that they’re half-off during happy hour and available most nights; they advise calling to make sure. Brown recommended happy hour at Siena Italian Trattoria, 9500 W. Sahara Ave., and Joyce Hambacher recommended Outback Steakhouse. …
