Readers find pork tenderlion sandwiches in Las Vegas

Updated July 12, 2017 - 11:51 am

July 12, 2017

As I wrote a few weeks ago, Midwestern-style pork tenderloin sandwiches have been one of the most enduring topics in Taste of the Town over the years. And here we are again, in response to a query from Louise Thompson. Ann Brown recommended Metro Diner at 9595 W. Tropicana Ave.; (another’s set to open at 7305 S. Rainbow Blvd. on Tuesday, and one at 249 N. Stephanie St. in Henderson in September). Sally Ferree recommended Hash House A Go Go, which has five locations in the valley. And Sharlee Horvath recommended Mom’s Diner at 1240 E. State St. in Pahrump, adding that several customers make the drive from the Las Vegas area to get the sandwiches there.

And for Barbara Snyder, who’s looking for a different kind of pork tenderloin — Hormel Always Tender, teriyaki flavor — Petta and Ron Khouw emailed that they usually can find it at Albertsons at 2910 Bicentennial Parkway in Henderson.

For Diana Kula, who’s looking for Mohawk Valley creamy Limburger cheese, Owen Nelson said Mohawk is no longer produced and recommended Wisconsin’s Weyauwega Star Dairy Inc. at www.stardairy.com (888-813-9720). He added that the Star Dairy cheese is firmer than Mohawk, and that the company probably won’t ship during the summer. And Brown said Limburger is available at the Murray’s Cheese Shop inside the Smith’s store at 10100 W. Tropicana Ave.

Rhubarb pie! That’s the best way to use the tart stalks of this perennial plant, and it’s worthy of a celebration. Frozen rhubarb has disappeared from local stores, although fresh can sometimes be found at this time of year at Sprouts Farmers Markets, Whole Foods Markets and some Smith’s stores.

But I digress. Michael Struble is looking for rhubarb pie, and his fellow Taste of the Town readers have a number of suggestions. Sharon and Greg Griffith, Judy Baker, Ann Brown and Barry Abidor recommended Marie Callender’s, which has four locations in the valley. And Kara Hierro of Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road said the store carries strawberry-rhubarb pie.

For Aurora Gandara, who’s looking for Munchee cheese, which she used to get at Smith’s, Josh Kunis and Brown emailed that they still find it in the deli at Smith’s at 10120 W. Tropicana Ave. And Hierro said Glazier’s carries it as well.

For Bob Rush, who’s looking for a broad variety of bread machine mixes, Joyce Winters recommended www.kingarthurflour.com (800-827-6836), and Al Garth recommended www.preparedpantry.com (208-745-7892).

Over the 17-plus years I’ve been writing this column, a few requests have come up more than once — usually reader favorites available in one or two local restaurants, which eventually close, launching the search anew. Midwestern-style pork-tenderloin sandwiches are an example (although the supply of those has been steady now that Hash House A Go Go has five locations in the valley); another is Monte Cristo sandwiches, most recently sought by Elaine Ocrant. As usual, readers have several suggestions.

Karin Gavin, Barbara Dill and CeCi Schreiber recommended The Cracked Egg, which has five local locations (and a photo on its website, thecrackedegg.com, with the caption, “There’s just nothing … like a Monte Cristo Sandwich”). Brown recommended the new Metro Diner, 9595 W. Tropicana Ave. (with others expected to open at 7305 S. Rainbow Blvd. in July and in Henderson in the fall). Fran and Dennis Friday recommended Fire Rock Steakhouse at 5990 Centennial Center Blvd. And Janice Giannosa recommended the restaurant at “the charming Boulder Dam Hotel” in Boulder City.

We’re all familiar with bad bran muffins, which seem to have much in common with ground cardboard. Instead, Charlie Boocks is looking for the kind he used to get at Costco, which he said were “large, moist, tasty and had lots of raisins and nuts.” And his fellow Taste of the Town readers have a couple of suggestions.

Seafood in the desert? That reference brings up an old, oxymoron-based joke but thankfully, availability has steadily improved. And sure enough, we have monkfish sightings for reader Ken Detlaff. Pat Ilic and Lisa Cole both emailed that they’ve found monkfish at the seafood counter at Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road, where it can be ordered if unavailable. And Ilic added that she was told by the seafood manager at the new Albertsons, 7975 Blue Diamond Road, that he can get it within a couple of days.

More on farmer cheese: Judi Roth said she gets 3-pound packages of Friendship Farmer Cheese, the brand specified by her mother, from Max Market at 8450 W. Sahara Ave., and Terry Mikula gets farmer cheese at the Polish Deli at 5900 W. Charleston Blvd.

More on ice cream: As Ilic noted, information on the Friendly’s website is incorrect and the company’s ice cream apparently is not available in the valley. But for lovers of the nearly as elusive Thrifty Ice Cream, I recently spotted the new Thrifty-serving Scoops at 3655 S. Durango Drive and learned it’s one of six Scoops locations in Southern Nevada. They’re at thriftylv.com.

Those old-fashioned foods often are as difficult to find as they are to forget, so I’m glad readers have news for Ron Wagner, who’s looking for spiced apple rings packed in a jar of cinnamon syrup. Ann Brown and Barbara Snyder found them at Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road, where Brown said they’re the Musselman brand. And Louise Thompson said she buys direct from the company via www.musselmans.com.

No responses have come in for Dan Culbert, who’s looking for kosher dill spears by Carnegie Deli, which he used to get at Costco. But Blake Myers had a suggestion. “An even tastier, old-time product is available at Glazier’s,” he wrote in an email. That would be pickles by Don Hermann & Sons of Garrettsville, Ohio, which Myers said is a co-packer of Nathan’s and produces the same pickles under their own label. “Culbert won’t miss the ones from Carnegie after trying Hermann’s,” Myers wrote.

Farmer cheese adds a bit of creamy neutrality to a lot of things — blintzes, pierogies, my grandmother’s plum dumplings — and readers know where to find it, which should be good news for Gary Turkey.

Ruth Jagodzinski found it at Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road. Gerry Kulz found the J&J brand in the kosher section at Smith’s at 2211 N. Rampart Blvd. And another reader reported finding it at Sprouts Farmers Market, which has six stores in the valley. I’ve also seen it at Whole Foods Market, which has four stores in the valley, and occasionally in the cheese counter at other Smith’s stores.

Sometimes when a product can’t be found locally, helpful Taste of the Town readers suggest a near substitution, and so it is this week with the Quaker Puffed Rice being sought by Carolyn LeBaron. Ellen Dreyer, who emailed that she hadn’t seen the Quaker version for several years, said she likes Arrowhead Mills puffed rice, which she gets at Sprouts. Ellen Tottori, who said she used to use Albertsons puffed rice, also suggested Sprouts, which has six stores in the valley.

Good news for Taste of the Town reader Honorene Unseitig: Chicagoland-favorite Supreme tamales are available in Las Vegas. The source is that palace of all things Eastern and Midwestern, Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road. Glazier’s was suggested by Dave Draz, while Don Conner said Glazier’s sells Poncho Tamales, which he said are the same as Supreme.

Glazier’s also is the source for the coconut custard pie Vito Colucci is seeking, Ann Brown wrote in an email.

For Linda McCombs, who’s looking for hot soppressata, Brown said Glazier’s carries it as well; Dale Klabacha suggested Sprouts Farmers Market and 99 Cents Only.

Does anybody serve a complicated old standard like beef Wellington anymore? They sure do, and readers have several recommendations for Rosalie Depew, who’s looking for a local spot for it.

Ann Brown and Kathy Miller recommended Hugo’s Cellar at the Four Queens downtown. Miller also suggested Lawry’s The Prime Rib in the Hughes Center, a recommendation seconded by Martha Siebel. And Margot Guenther and Stephen Salchenberger recommended DeSimone’s Steakhouse at the Railroad Pass Casino in Henderson.

For Jan Guess and Larry LeBlanc, who are looking for a local restaurant that serves muffuletta sandwiches, Shelly Hofer recommended Jason’s Deli, which has five locations in the valley, and Brown recommended Giada’s at The Cromwell.

Rose Thomas is looking for a local source for German blood sausage. Readers haven’t found one, but Claude Black has two more distant recommendations. He said his “first choice, by far” is Alpine Village German Sausage in Torrance, California, and he also likes Mattern Sausage in Orange, California, which is slightly closer. Black said neither ships, so it looks like a road trip may be in order.

And for Lee L. Meyers, who’s looking for a sticky bun, “not a cinnamon roll,” preferably with raisins and nuts, Brown recommended Great Buns Bakery at 3270 E. Tropicana Ave.

For Danny Calico, who’s looking for reader suggestions for Italian delis in the eastern valley, Danny Becker and Jean Day recommended Cugino’s at 4550 S. Maryland Parkway.

After Claudia Wright emailed in search of fiddleheads, Evelyn Austin emailed that she’s found them fresh at Whole Foods Market at 8855 W. Charleston Blvd. (one of four local Whole Foods). A company representative said availability varies because they’re mostly foraged; they expect to have them soon and periodically over the next couple of months.

For Kay Zike, who’s looking for Claussen Bread ’n Butter pickles, Ron Schultz said they’re available at Glazier’s.
