At one time there were only three great cities in America had a reputation for the best when it came to gourmet food, they were of course New York, Sam Francisco and New Orleans with their cajun and creole foods, now however with the advent of gaming capitals there are numerous cities vying for best of the best which includes Las Vegas, Reno, Sparks, Carson City, South Tahoe and of course Miami, there are others but we will concentrate on these for now.
Have you ever sat down to a meal and when it was placed in front of you it was appetizing, the appearance was beautiful, your expectations were filled when you placed the first bite in your mouth said yes! Yes! Yes! This is great, isn't that what you expect every time you eat out? Well that is what I have tried to do as a chef all my life, it is the goal of any chef worth their salt! What I aim to do is direct you the reader to some of the best establishments in the business, from large to small, from vegan to main dish meat dishes, and every variety of food imaginable, the best travel bargains, (My brother owns a bus charter company so I travel all over) and the best service to boot, yes service makes it something to remember.
Everyone has their favorite haunt, a place that they feel comfortable and that is what we are looking for a comfortable eatery that is your home away from home, a place that says welcome.
Over the years I have been in restaurants throughout the U.S. as well as Europe while stationed in the Air Force, then when I went to Alaska we ate in numerous restaurants in Canada, as for where the best food is its anyones guess, there are numerous great restaurants, however one thing is for sure that places like Reno Las Vegas and other gaming capitals throughout the world seek the best chefs money can buy as they pay these chefs six figure salaries so the food better be great! Don't you agree?
California has become perhaps the culinary capital of the world with European cuisine first when a rush of Asian foods in the 70’s and 80?,especially since Chinese cuisine has been here since the arrival of the Chinese in the 1800’s, then Thai Cuisine became very popular by the late 80’s, as well as other Asian Pacific foods, so the Epicurean delights are endless.
It is now June 2011 and it is time to travel, as a traveling man I intend to start in Reno as soon as this rain stops and the sun shines once again in California, I know someone needs to tell Al Gore mother nature has called off global warming! With that we can start planning from the Reno Sparks area I plan on going to Las Vegas after I go to Oroville California , actually I plan on going to Oroville in about a week so watch my articles on Word Press at jimfridas.wordpress.com, as well as here on Tumblr for some great new restaurants, one thing I can assure you of is that Oroville has to be one of the Antique Store Capitals of America, I love the Treasure Chest on 2085 Bird Street as I have purchased some great bargains there, go check it out, I will also tell you that there are some excellent restaurants there as well, reasonably priced and excellent food, another place I like to frequent is Rick’s Royal Subs, when I return I will tell you more about the newest restaurants in Oroville.
I have just started to get ready for my new adventures into the world of travel and of course restaurants ala spectacular, so join me as we look for the best of the best!
