***Update: Business closed*** There aren’t many places at the Wynn to grab a quick bite to eat other than the coffee shop across from the box office and Zoozacrackers, a counter service deli by the sports book. This is an upscale take on a deli, of course, where sandwiches are a step up from typical… Continue reading Zoozacrackers Deli

The Bagel Cafe
Walk in to Bagel Cafe on a weekend and it’s a madhouse. There are long lines to order from their deli and bakery, long lines to be seated, and a dining room packed to the gills. When you do finally get seated you’ll find a large menu full of fairly inexpensive items and portion sizes… Continue reading The Bagel Cafe
Pronto Pickle
I recently came back from a much needed vacation in Oahu, staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki for my week long trip. For hotel and excursion reviews you can check out my list on Yelp. For all the foodie reviews, stay here and read on. —- There are two locations of Pronto Pickle… Continue reading Pronto Pickle
Panevino Deli
Located on Sunset across from the airport, I’ve driven by Panevino plenty of times but didn’t realize until recently that they had a separate space that serves as their cafe/deli. It’s got the feel of an upscale cafeteria with plenty of tables and long counters with displays of food. They offer many choices of salads,… Continue reading Panevino Deli
Pacific Wharf Cafe
Located in the Pacific Wharf neighborhood of Disney’s California Adventure park, the Pacific Wharf Café is a quick serve eatery — get in line, order at the register, and wait for your food. Just about everything comes in a bread bowl whether you like it or not. I requested a Chinese chicken salad without it,… Continue reading Pacific Wharf Cafe
Gourmet Market
I lived in Gaithersburg (AKA Gaitherstucky) for a couple years and never knew this place existed. On a recent trip back to the area my coworkers took me to this little Italian market in a strip mall. It’s got all sorts of products for for sale (beverages, frozen desserts, spices, dried pasta, wine, and so… Continue reading Gourmet Market
Rocco’s NY Italian Deli
I stopped by Rocco’s back in May for a quick lunch to go. Two words grabbed my attention as I walked in: Lobster Roll. I’m a sucker for almost anything with these over-priced crustaceans, so it was a no-brainer to try it. Their version of a lobster roll ($12.99) was a large hoagie roll stuffed… Continue reading Rocco’s NY Italian Deli
Brooklyn Billy’s
From the looks of the place, they didn’t give much thought to the interior. Luckily, there’s a lot of passion and care evident in the food. There are only three tables inside (and one small one outside) and the walls are covered with random movie and music posters and a picture of Carrot Top eating… Continue reading Brooklyn Billy’s
Laduca’s New York Italian Deli
I’m a Redskins fan. I was born and raised in the DC metro area and bleed burgundy and gold. So, it makes me uncomfortable to patronize a place with a Strahan and LT jersey hanging up on the wall. But, I’d gladly walk into enemy territory to grab one of these sandwiches. The chicken parmigiana… Continue reading Laduca’s New York Italian Deli
Paradise Bakery and Cafe
Located in the Denver airport, I stopped by this place during a layover looking for something good to eat. They had some chocolate fudge brownies that were calling out to me. They were displayed on a stand by the cash register so when I ordered one I was a little surprised when the girl behind… Continue reading Paradise Bakery and Cafe
Baguette Cafe
I’ll admit that I’m a softee when it comes to rating locally-owned businesses. I tend to round up. But, if any local small business deserves a high rating it’s this place. I’ve seen the other 5 star Yelp reviews for Baguette Cafe and was really skeptical that a small place in an office park could… Continue reading Baguette Cafe
Schlotzsky’s Deli
— Originally posted on Yelp on 4/11/10 — Despite Schlotzsky’s being a chain it’s got the feel of a hole-in-the-wall deli. But maybe that has more to do with the run down building and not-always-clean interior. Regardless, I’ve been a fan for the past few years. The thing that elevates their sandwiches from ‘solid’ to… Continue reading Schlotzsky’s Deli
Not Your Average Deli
— Originally posted on Yelp on 4/10/10 — I love just about anything with lobster. Lobster bisque, lobster pot pie, grilled lobster, lobster mac & cheese, lobster ravioli, lobster salad… if it’s got lobster, chances are I’m going to like it. In a way, it’s kind of like bacon. You can add it to just… Continue reading Not Your Average Deli
Carnegie Delicatessen & Restaurant
— Originally posted on Yelp on 8/12/09 — The only thing I had at Carnegie was the cheesecake. And WOW! It was damn good. The truffle torte cheesecake. Yes, it’s pricey, but it’s meant for sharing. I guess friendly service isn’t their specialty. The old guy behind the counter wouldn’t crack a smile or even… Continue reading Carnegie Delicatessen & Restaurant
