Periodic Table of Condiments
Have you seen the Periodic Table of Condiments? I found it here but it looks like it’s been around for a while.
I vote for hot fudge sauce and Tabasco.
Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in The Montage
Getting a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in downtown Reno is BIG folks. An upscale dining anchor independent of a casino is exactly what downtown Reno needs to continue its development as an attraction among tourists and locals. Fernando Leal once again proves his worth for those of us interested in seeing Reno’s downtown continue to […]
Women Are Never Frontrunners: Gloria Steinem
Gloria Steinem in the New York Times. You go girl!
But what worries me is that he is seen as unifying by his race while she is seen as divisive by her sex.
What worries me is that she is accused of “playing the gender card” when citing the old boys’ club, while he […]
Downtown Updates from Downtown Makeover
My median courtesy of DMD’s new photo gallery.
Downtown Makeover Dude alerts us to the fact that Reno’s downtown library is up for a renovation. I hope they don’t touch those awesome Brady Bunch stairs that run through the middle of that building. That would be a crime. There just aren’t that many […]
Reno and Beyond: Where’s My Prize?
This kind of rhetoric makes me seethe. The reasons late term abortions are performed are; the fetus is dead, the fetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would place the woman’s life in severe danger, the fetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would grievously damage the woman’s health and/or disable her, or the fetus is […]
The Imperial Bar And Lounge
The minx’s posse made an appearance at the Imperial Bar & Lounge’s opening night last night, and if the headache I woke up with is any testament as to how much fun I had, then we can all assume it was a great night because my head hurt like a mother this morning, but I […]
Reno and Beyond: Happy President’s Day
The Imperial Bar and Lounge keeps sounding better and better. First I found out that Matt Marcewicz from Washoe Wine Company put together their wine list, and then I found out that the owners are from Chicago—one of the great centers of hedonistic comfort food and drink. Does that mean they’ll be importing […]
Reno and Beyond: Reno Is So In Transition
Jim Litchfield sent us off the Reno feature in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s February 2007 issue. Its funny that the Pneumatic Diner, “like Deux Gros Nez but has a more Ally McBeal feel to it” is featured–everyone loves quirk I guess. And is the Siena really plush? Look down for a graphic of […]
Reno and Beyond: Macho Democrats?
Attention foodies! If you have $95 to throw down on some good food and wine, The Steakhouse at Grand Sierra is hosting another “Dinner with the Winemaker” on Monday, January 29 at 6:00pm featuring the wines of Benziger vineyards Of course you may not be interested in lobster tamales or pomegranate sorbet. […]
Grand Sierra: La Vita Dolce
The Grand Sierra Resort developers are going for something completely alien to Reno–a truly luxurious resort. It seems a bunch developers from outside Nevada are going to show Reno how to raise its expectations for the kind of tourist the city can attract (and none of the project bigwigs appear to be from California […]
Sezmu, I Love You
This doesn’t usually happen with new restaurants in Reno, but the minx hadn’t even heard of Sezmu until Juiced mentioned it in comments last week. And since another commenter referred to Sezmu as the best new restaurant to open in Reno in years, I only waited a day before making a reservation for me […]
Deux Gros Nez
Deux Gros Nez smelled crisp, tart, and fruity. Like the food itself tastes when it first hits your tongue.
Reno and Reno: No Gibbons or Mazzeo, Strictly Local
I know its fun to complain about the city, but Charles McNeely just received some major props from the University Of Kansas School Of Public Administration. US News and World Report continuously rates the University of Kansas’ graduate program in public administration number one in the country for city management education. So be […]
Best Blogger In The Entire World
Okay, I’m exaggerating a little, but this is the best award I’ve won since “best smile” in 8th grade, so give me a break. I thought it would be fun to second guess the RN&R readers choices in the annual Best of Northern Nevada competition. Of course, I wouldn’t dare to second guess […]
Reno and Beyond: Google Gets Ready To Take Over The World
Come all you rambling boys of pleasure and ladies of easy leisure:
According to real estate diva Diane Cohn, The Palladio has booked Starbucks and Mikuni, a sushi joint into its retail spots, and they are talking to Port of Subs and The Melting Pot. Okay, sushi and Starbucks, good; The Melting Pot, bad. […]
