| - Went on a wonderful Downtown food tour with Heidy.
Let's first start out with the customer service side of things; 5 stars, hands-down! Jered from Nosh was super helpful and friendly to deal with. He set-up our group's food tour, and shortly after, sent us very detailed instructions/directions on where to meet, what to wear (comfortable walking shoes, btw), where to park, etc.
Heidy was our tour-guide. She is AWESOME! She is friendly and up-beat, but most importantly, she knows her way around Downtown, Las Vegas as she is also a resident of the area. She is quick with a joke and a smile, and seems to have a great relationship with all of the restaurant reps we had the pleasure of meeting.
Okay, on to the the food; there was not one thing that was served that I didn't like. No joke, everything was very tasty!
Our first stop was RCP (Radio City Pizza). This place had closed down for a bit, and then got new owners. They served grilled corn on the cob, gnocchi, and another pasta dish that I forget the name for. To be quite frank, I am still dreaming of their gnocchi! It was dense and very flavorful. I wish I could have eaten the entire bowl, but alas, it's a tasting, and I didn't want to look like a pig in front of the group. Haha!
We also stopped at Carson Kitchen where our group got to try chicken skins with a sweet honey-glaze sauce. Per Heidy, these take the most time to prepare when compared with the rest of the food on the menu. They come out piping hot with a crispy, outer crust. They look like pork rinds, but don't let that turn you off. I can eat a million of those tiny little suckers...
The Perch was our next stop. Heidy took the group through the back entrance of The Container Park, and up a flight of stairs where we were greeted by the GM. We were immediately served spicy/sweet pecans and a small glass of seasonal beer. Both together tasted like a fiesta in my mouth. The nuts were sweet like candied pecans, but after you chew for a little bit, you get this hint of spice that kinda creeps up on ya. With the beer, this is place deserves a standing ovation. As if that isn't enough, the GM also brought out tuna on a cracker. Okay, that doesn't sound exciting, but it is, trust me. The tuna was chilled and cut to a very thin, delegate slice, and then placed on top of a crispy cracker. YUM!
Cheffini's was our next destination. This place is located just inside the entrance of The Park, and they specialize in gourmet hotdogs. We each ate a half of their most famous hotdog called The Classic Cheffini. I thought the pineapple sauce that's drizzled on top would be a funky addition, but all of the flavors of this dog go together. Let me tell you, my mouth is watering right now just thinking about that amazing hotdog. And get this - Apparently there is a Cheffini hotdog cart that it only open from 11pm to 6pm in Downtown, LV... Well, let me tell you, if I'm ever tipsy and in need of some deliciousness on a hot Vegas night, I'm sending a search party out for this cart! Yup, the dogs are that tasty!!
And the last place we visited was Jinju, a small chocolate shop located on the third floor of The Container Park. The chocolate is smooth and not too sweet, which I like. Did I mention that they look almost too good to eat? No joke, these things look like something outta movie, the chocolates are gorgeous! I ended up picking up a few sweets for my sweet.
Well, folks, as you can see this is a pretty lengthy review. In short, Nosh Las Vegas is AWESOME! The next time I have guests in town, I'm going to book another food-tour so that they get to experience a delightful taste of what Downtown, Las Vegas has to offer!
