Fat People Are Useful, Pt. 2 (Carnevino, Las Vegas, NV)

I've said it here and I'll say it again--I've never had a bad meal at any Batali joint, be it New York, Los Angeles and now, Vegas.

Carnevino is purely about meat--sure, you can can sides and appetizers, but beef and more beef are what this place excels at. If you have to get a side, opt for the mashed potatoes that--as only morbidly obese chefs can do so well--house an egg yolk for you mix through as well as strips of bacon.

With a bottle of moderately priced wine, dinner should be about $150 - 200 per person with tip.

Or it could be $350 per person if you include the 8 glasses of scotch to help you cope with how you lost the next 4 months of rent as well as pawning your watch that you received for graduation and maybe even the gift you got your old man for Father's Day. Not that I know anything about any of that.
