I’m guessing that they don’t have a sommelier or wine specialist on staff, or else something as basic as having correctly-sized, appropriate wine glasses available for their wine customers would be a given.

Zachary expressed it best: The burp tastes and smells like vanilla pudding, buttercream, pineapple, and banana liberally sprinkled with morgue.

You can get a gallon of vodka, a carton of cigarettes, a box of bullets and get an abortion on the way home, but if you want Raw Milk, you gotta travel to California, you gotta know somebody (wink wink), or you have to mail order it.

Margarine is undeniably unnatural. It came out years ago when people started worrying about eating saturated fat. Since butter contains saturated fat, it became a nutritional bad guy and margarine took its place.

Las Vegas is blessed with an abundance of restaurants showcasing international cuisine, and they range from small neighborhood restaurants to top-dollar venues in the Strip properties. I found Merkato in the pages of one of the local weekly newspapers and decided to give it a try.
