You can't, the $12 is just to get to the front of the line.

Alright so I know Rollin' Smoke is the standard recommendation on this thread, but I hit Jessie Rae's today and it's a full tier better. Rollin Smoke has a bigger menu and I'm sure there are a few things they do better, but in terms of meat and sauce Jessie Rae's has it flat out beat for at least the brisket and pulled pork I tried. Best of either that I've ever had.

Best neapolitan style pizza on/near the strip?

Went to bouchon on labor day after I got hungry for the chicken and waffles. Unfortunately they had their regular breakfast menu so I went with the croque madame. The entree was a little on the small side but the sandwich was really perfect in every other way. The beignets as always didn't disappoint.

I definitely read about a "package" on the internets. But as it happened there was no line. I think the bloody mary I bought was about $14 though, so the internet probably lied.

I was going to ask if anyone had been there yet.

At Gangnam Asia BBQ right now, will fill in later

Gangnam Asian BBQ on Paradise, happy hour twice a day (noon till 3pm and 10pm till 1am)
$2-$3-$4 items, the food was delicious. Had 3 items and a beer for $15 at 11:30pm 😬

Taco y Taco on Eastern and the 215 is fantastic, fresh, casual Mexican...great beer menu and happy hour, too. Might be the best Mexican food in town.

What's the mystifying ordering system that confuses yelp reviewers?

Dom,

I just took a look and they have buche, lengua, and chicharron as meat options. I highly recommend getting one of each at any great taco shop, they are delicious.

Feel free next time to share with us what items you had.

There's 3 separate lines for different kinds of meats and stuff...it's not confusing because it is plainly labeled, but if you don't know what buche, lengua, and chicharron are, for example, I can see someone being a little overwhelmed...you can also get vegetarian, fish, and shrimp options at the counter to the left....plus various bowls, etc.

Went again the other night, and it's great. My GF had a vegetarian bowl with a grapefruit summer beer that was fantastic.

Yes, I'm learning about those options and reference them above!

There's a big spit with pork on it...but I don't remember what that's called!

Al Pastor?

That's the only thing you need

Al Pastor...it's phenomenal...Tacos el Gordo's is better than Taco y Taco.

I think el Gordo's calls it something different, like adobada or something. It's really good, but I don't remember it being all that red.

Was flipping through the Seven magazine (free weekly) and Al Mancini gave the worst full review I've ever read in any of the local papers since moving here in 2002.

It was for Halal Guys.

So Al Mancini tells you where you can and cannot eat?

Obviously not. This thread doesn't "tell me where I can and cannot eat" either.
Just thought it was an interesting note to post given recent posts in the thread.

Does 2+2 tell you where you "can and cannot eat"?

Have tried a couple new places:

Shang Artisan Noodle - Flamingo and Decatur. They make hand-pulled and knife-shaved noodles. Tried the spicy wontons (which are free w Yelp checkin), seafood noodle soup, beef noodle soup, Dan Dan noodles, fried rice, pork cabbage dumplings, and beef pancake. Had high hopes but was let down. Nothing wrong with it, but of all the dishes we tried, nothing wowed either. Next up on Chinese places to try: Yum Cha, Noodle Man, KJ Chinese

Bonchon - Rainbow and Sunset. Korean fried chicken. Got both kinds of chicken strips (spicy and not spicy), the salmon and avocado ball, the tteokbokki, and the bulgogi sliders. This wasn't our first choice - they have a handful of items (eg, kimchi pancake trio, pork buns) that they aren't making yet despite the fact that they are on the menu. The chicken strips were interesting in that they both had a funky marinade (and I love Korean flavors) but neither worked for me. Bulgogi sliders had decent flavors but we're pretty dry. I thought the salmon avocado ball was gross. The tteokbokki just wasn't my thing either (and I don't shy away from weird flavors at all) -- so all in all I was really disappointed. Wife disliked the salmon avocado ball less than I did and had no problem with it (though the words "weird" and "unnecessary" we're used). Called tteokbokki "Korean Spaghettios" which is pretty apt.

Did Glutton for lunch this week and they couldn't make the zucchini parmesan sandwich (which they didn't tell me until after I ordered). Rant: when your lunch menu is like 5 sandwiches, you should really be able to make all 5, especially when your reason for not being able to make the sandwich is that you don't have the ingredients to make the red sauce. But what we did have was delicious, so I guess my sentiments from dinner a few months ago still hold:

Headed to Carsons Kitchen a couple of nights ago based on the recommendations in this thread and it was closed for a private function fml

seriously fyl, CK is delicious

That's not helping
