So we were visiting family in LV. A co-worker of mine who had recently been to LV told me about CK. How he found it I will have to ask him next time I see him. And a word about him, he is a chef caliber cook who was filmed on a segment on a TV cooking show a few years ago. He raved about CK. Was a walking, living, breathing commercial.
So on to CK. I was thoroughly impressed. First is the menu has the basics, but he adds specialty items for those wanting something a little fancier than standard comfort food. Most places try to do one or the other. First restaurant I have been to where the chef came out, introduced himself, and answered any questions about the menu.
I had the bleu burger. I don't order many burgers because they are so easy to make at home. But owing to the good reviews I figured it would be good and it was. I ordered it medium and it was just right. Maybe the best burger I have had out.
My wife ordered the spicy chicken salad. He told her it would be hot and she said OK. She said it was a bit warm for her but ate her share. Not going to blame him when he gives you a heads up. Others in our group were completely satisfied with their entrees.
We had a goat cheese appetizer and deserts. I had the chocolate lava cake. I normally don't order deserts at a restaurant because of a severe peanut allergy and a near death experience many years ago after eating a store bought cake. But Carlos said he makes the lava cake on site and there isn't a peanut in the joint or on the ingredients list. So I trusted him and boy it was good.
In summary: Very good food. Reasonable prices. Incomparable attention from the Chef. What is wrong with Las Vegas? This place should be full on a Saturday night. We will be back next time we are in town.
