New dogs on the menu
The neon-lit Joy of Hot Dog trailer has reopened at 506 Fremont St. and is featuring some new dogs. A Walk in the Park is vegan, with sauteed vegetables and Green Goddess dressing. Then there’s the Al Capone, with tomatoes, sun-dried tomato pesto, caramelized onions, pepperoni and mozzarella; Chihuahua Chuck, with diced grilled chicken, guacamole, cilantro sauce, pico de gallo, tortilla chips and jalapeno; The Hangover, with pastrami, grilled onions, white queso and banana peppers; and Elvis, topped with banana compote, peanut butter, bacon bits and peanuts. They’re $8 each.
Day of the Dead
China Poblano at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will host its Day of the Dead celebration Friday through
Tuesday. The restaurant will have special dishes, including hibiscus flower tacos, $5; Sopa Azteca, $13; Tamale Mole Negro (blue corn
tamale filled with braised oxtail steamed in a banana leaf ), $14; pumpkin flan, $12; and the Camino al Cielo (Road to Heaven) cocktail, $17. The restaurant will offer a take-home celebration package Monday; go to secretburger.com.
Celebrate Sandwich Day
Tuesday isn’t just Election Day, it’s also National Sandwich Day. And it conveniently comes during the same week that Ike’s Love & Sandwiches marks its 13th anniversary. To celebrate both, the San Francisco-born chain, which has three locations in the valley, will be offering four of its most popular sandwiches for just $7 from Monday through Friday. The discounted sandwiches are the Menage a Trois, Sometimes I’m a Vegetarian, Matt Cain and Meatless Mike.
Pour in public
Fergusons Downtown has kept its events virtual during the COVID-19 crisis. On Nov. 5, it will go live once again with an intimate Pour in the Alley on the rooftop deck. Guests will be able to enjoy traditional cheese and charcuterie from Valley Cheese & Wine, vegan options by NoButcher, and wines by the bottle or glass. It’s $30 to reserve a table, at fergusonsdowntown.com/winecheese, which will be credited toward your purchases.
Brunch in Henderson
Former Lagasse’s Stadium chef Scott Pajak is rolling out a new brunch menu this weekend at Triple B in Henderson’s Rainbow Club Casino. Available from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday and Sunday, it offers a variety of sweet and savory dishes from steak and eggs to shrimp and grits, all priced below $11.
