On Monday night in Las Vegas we ate at a place called M & M Soul Food Cafe. I had read great reviews about this place and southern food is one of my favorites so I was looking forward to trying it. We walked into the place and were greeted my a really nice girl named Jerria and a huge security guard. We were the only white people in the place but still felt really welcomed by everyone there. Jerria took our order and then brought some corn bread pancakes to the table. These things were fantastic. I’ve never had cornbread served this way. The owner told us they discovered this method by accident when their oven stopped working so they poured the batter on the grill. I’m gonna start making my cornbread this way from now on I think.
For dinner we had:
Smothered chicken with cornbread stuffing and Mac & Cheese.
Fried catfish with collard greens, fried okra and red beans and rice.
Sweet iced tea.
If I lived in Las Vegas I’d be eating here at least once a week. The food was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. The service was also great. Everyone there seemed to love their job and care about making the best food possible.
If you are ever in the Las Vegas area I highly recommend this place.
Last night in Las Vegas I went to Hot n Juicy Crawfish in the Asian part of town. This place was on Man vs. Food and is kind of similar to SJ Crawfish in San Francisco. I got there at around 6pm and it was packed. I had 2 lbs of crawfish with the Hot n Juicy sauce medium spice. It came with a potato and corn. I ordered a half dozen sausage and an extra corn. We also got an order of sweet potato fries. It was really good but the waiter thought I was a girl then screwed my order up. I’ll forgive him since the food tasted so good.
