In honor of the 42nd annual Greek Food Festival this weekend, we have a recipe provided by Marilyn Flangas, longtime festival public relations representative.
The atmosphere and service at Henderson’s Bavarian Castle are charming, but we encountered a few miscues when it came to the food.
Continuing our spate of stuffed-cabbage coverage, we have another recipe, this one from Taste of the Town regular Paulette Juryn:
Taste of the Town readers crave cabbage rolls. So, reader Beverly R. Villeneuve sent in this recipe for unrolled cabbage rolls.
We were on our dessert course at db Brasserie before we noticed a flaw — and it was truly a tiny one, which puts our whole experience at the restaurant in perspective.
Once again, Kerry Simon has proven that he’s adept at reading the zeitgeist, with Carson Kitchen in the Fremont East District in downtown Las Vegas.
When reader Alice Boyd contacted me for an Italian anise cookie recipe, the hunt was on.
I heard from readers after the closing of Viva Mercado’s. And I heard from readers when a reopening was in the works, at Village Square. Since the restaurant opened in November, I’ve heard nary a peep. And why might that be? My guess is that their mouths were full.

Whatever form they take — doughnuts, beignets, zeppole, churros or fritters — we sure love our fried dough, and that would include malasadas, being sought by Tom Sullivan. And as usual, his fellow Taste of the Town readers have suggestions.
Frank & Fina’s Cocina appeared to have but one server on the evening of our visit, along with a troupe of assistants. But that unusual arrangement meant that the service was not as smooth as it should have been.
