Allow myself, to introduce .. myself!

w/ Boston's Johnny Cupcakes (I am left!)

Before I get into any Vegas food reviews today, it gives me great pleasure to ‘break the ice’ and introduce myself to my new Blast Mag family. To the many of you that are tuning in from Boston, let me first of all inform you that I was B.A.R (Born and Raised) for the better half of my life in Lowell + Chelmsford and my roots were set in everything Boston. I am a die-hard Sox fan, have been since I was a child + you know how it goes from there! Boston is in my blood, it always has been and always will be the fabric I was cut from.

I was brewing for a bit on reasons to give you so that you would not only tune-into my blog daily, but maybe tell a friend or two about who I am and maybe what I could offer you for following (maybe some show tickets, buffet line-passes..?)  But I’m pretty convinced that the majority of you need only one reason – I’m coming to you direct from Vegas, baby!  Now, especially for my readers residing in Vegas, you should know that I come from an extensive food and beverage background. I have done everything imaginable in a restaurant (even dabbled in nightlife) – with the exception of managing. I was introduced to the industry at the end of my Junior year of High School, and as my duties evolved – from dishwasher, to cook, to busboy, etc. – I realized that there were very special moments of my restaurant-life that were shaping + developing a far greater individual than your average restaurant employee.

WP's Pizzeria + Cucina | Crystals Shops, CityCenter

I have worked with some local Mom n’ Pop establishments to the the most esteemed household-names in the business. Chef Wolfgang Puck being the first celebrated Chef (as far as celebrity Chefs, are concerned). Ironically enough,  it appears I returned to the scene of the crime – with the Chef that truly opened my eyes to the culinary world.  With that on our palates, are you ready to see if Chef Puck’s Pizzeria + Cucina made the grade? Tune-in Monday and find out! Plus let’s see if my iPhone is not only capable of capturing some Wolfgang ‘food-porn’ but some shots of his new digs.

Vegas Approved.

TheVegasFoodie…is Moving…?

TheVegasFoodie is moving to Blast Magazine!

THIS JUST IN – Boston’s Blast Magazine collides with TheVegasFoodie to bring you some hip, fresh eating reviews that will even make yo momma say “Mmmmm…that’s wicked pissa!”

From TVF:

To my loyal readers of all things Vegas food and the like.  I am writing you today to first of all apologize for the recent lag of content.  I assure you there is very good reason for this.  More recently, John Guilfoil – reporter for the Boston Globe (Boston also being my childhood stomping ground – Go Sox!), asked permission to bring on The Vegas Foodie as a part of the Blast Magazine experience.  I am happy to report that I did not hesitate to say yes to a very hip, young + smart online Mag.

You will see some changes in the next coming weeks, but the content will stay relevant to the city you want your restaurant reviews on – “Vegas, baby!” As some of you are already aware, there are many amazing changes coming to the Vegas dining landscape and I am ecstatic to not only be a part of these changes, but be able to share my experiences with you!

Eat Well!
