Food For Thought


Somewhere along the line, Vegas became known for (among many other things) its buffets. Let me be clear; I'm no fan of buffets in general. I suppose if you're the type who cannot decide on a particular menu item, then the smorgasborg of choices can be appealing. My problem though is that it's very indicative of our culture. We overdo EVERYTHING. As a result, I tend to overeat at buffets. This of course is bad on a lot of levels but most importantly, while in Vegas I want to be carrying around ZERO added weight. I may be a pretty boy, but this is in no way me being vain. This is me wanting to enjoy every waking moment there. Buffets just weigh me down. I become sluggish because buffet's are momemtum killers.

Recently, we decided that sushi would become the official Vegas food of VegasRy.com. Sushi is the total anti-buffet. And I'm not talking about having some rolls at the buffet in addition to the beef with brocolli and pizza. Sushi is the perfect complement to a weekend of drinking with little sleep. It's enough content to keep you upright, yet won't slow your roll. I highly recommend checking out the Sushi House at TI, Shinaro at Bellagio, or Nobu at Hard Rock instead of one of the countless buffets in town. You'll thank me later.

On this note, I noticed that Vegas may lose its title as buffet king to a city in Ohio as detailed in this aricle here. Maybe this will help Vegas lose the association by so many to buffets.
