New Las Vegas spots include cookie dough, nacho truck, sushi
The sister of Border Grill’s Mike Minor is getting into the food truck game. Terri Lynn Conaway is behind the new Nachos Loco truck, with nachos that include sweet corn and barbecue pork varieties, a version built on waffle fries and cinnamon churro dessert nachos. Conaway, known as TL to her friends, served as Minor’s right hand on the TruckU Barbecue truck, where he developed many of the recipes now available at BBQ Mexicana in Mandalay Bay.

Cookie dough treats
San Francisco’s cookie dough dessert shop Doughp (pronounced “dope”) is coming to the Strip in the spring. Doughp lets customers select toppings and treats to mix into their favorite flavor of raw dough, and serves the result in bowls or cones. While there’s no official word on the location, there’s a photo of Planet Hollywood on the company’s website.
