According to the history noted on their website, Squeeze In began in 1974. From a tiny little kitchen, Squeeze In started selling omelettes to locals and tourists in historic downtown Truckee California. Now many years later, Squeeze In has become not only a fixture in Truckee, but is becoming so all over the silver state.

Every once in a while we run across a real gem that simply too good not to share. That's absolutely the case with a locals place in Las Vegas called "Steiner's- A Nevada Style Pub". If you're a local then you know that Vegas has no shortage of local hangouts. Standing out from the sea of competition is no easy task. Yet Steiner's does so easily. We can say, without a doubt, we have yet to try anything on the menu that wasn't simply excellent. It doesn't matter if you come here for the brews (two for one beers on tap, hello?) or the sports (TVs are everywhere!) or the atmosphere, Steiner's if you don't try the food, you're missing out on one of the best local restaurants in Las Vegas.

In this day and age it's really tough to find anything that isn't a chain. Restaurants at nearly every single strip mall are largely comprised of the usual Del Tacos, Burger Kings, Chili's and Claim Jumpers. It's hard to find anything that isn't some kind of pre-packaged food done by people who really don't care much beyond their hourly paychecks. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with that. But after a while, it's nice to try something different. Something that reflects the owner's passion for food and culture, rather than some franchisee's idea of a good restaurant. If you live in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, taxes, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and even in Japan, you can enjoy Wahoo's Tacos & More, a chain that offers more than just quick food with predictable mediocre regularity. Wahoo's offers excellent food with a surfer culture spin and a really fun environment too.

Just outside the Las Vegas Valley and along the well known stretch of highway that visitors take to visit the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, lies is Boulder City. Founded as a town to house the many workers constructing the nearby dam, Boulder City is in many ways a remnant of an earlier and simpler time. There is no gambling in the town, again a carry over the it's original days as a home for dam workers, and Boulder City runs at a slower pace than neighboring Las Vegas and even Henderson. Downtown Boulder City looks something like a remnant from the glory days of Route 66. And in the middle of this quaint little down lies one of the best known secrets in the area, The Coffee Cup Cafe. Locally famous for it's excellent down home food and service, and world famous for being featured on Guy Fieri's Diners Drive-Ins and Dives.

Since opening a decade ago, The Green Valley Ranch has made many efforts to get an Italian restaurant to work at the casino. Several iterations have come and gone over the years, including Il Fornio (how did that not work???) and one even entrusted to the winner of Hell's Kitchen. So far though, none has really clicked with the GVR crowd for some reason. Maybe it's because there are MANY excellent Italian resturants in the area or maybe the locals are tired of over-priced mediocre food that's no match for the excellent food they can get just down the road. Whatever the case may be, GVR hasn't given up. In fact, they may have finally hit the spot with their latest effort, Bottiglia Cucina Enoteca.

First of all, Las Vegas has no shortage of amazing burger places. You can get them in almost every variety and way you can imagine. From a gourmet Kobe burger at the top of the finest casinos and at the all night drive down the road at In N' Out. Even when it comes to cheap burgers (i.e. under $8), you're going to find that the Las Vegas valley is a virtual Mecca of excellent burger choices. You name the chain, and they've probably got a location in Las Vegas. But in the midst of all of those amazing choices, is Anthony's Gourmet Burgers & Brews At The M Resort. This is a restaurant that not only offers an excellent burger, they offer an amazing atmosphere and excellent prices too!
