Ever since Guy Fieri dominated the Awesome Pretzel cart racket in the Fernwood, Calif., of his adolescence, he’s always taken things to the next level. The graduate of UNLV’s hospitality program parlayed an education in Sin City and exposure on the Food Network into a food-and-beverage empire, with jewels such as Guy Fieri’s Las Vegas Kitchen & Bar.
You can bet Fieri starts off his days of empire building with a hearty breakfast, and his restaurants serve up dishes worthy of his appetite. From 10 a.m. to noon, enjoy dishes like Guy’s Big Bite Burrito and Breakfast Sausage, Bacon + Eggs, which both make lunch plans unnecessary. The latter is self-explanatory, save for a side of seasoned potatoes. The former stuffs potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon and avocado in a cheese quesadilla doused with pico de gallo and salsa roja.
Motley Que Chilaquiles will satisfy all tastes with tortilla chips tossed with fire-roasted poblanos, pulled pork, avocado, crumbled cotija cheese and sunny-side up eggs. They’re best washed down with a choice of two different directions in tomato-based mixology, including Guy’s Famous BBQ Bloody Mary.
The wonderful scents emanating from Fieri’s restaurant from the outdoor patio make it an easy location for fans to mentally bookmark. He’s famous for towering nachos (pictured) and big, signature burgers like the Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese Burger, dressed with onion straws and donkey sauce and served in a garlic-buttered brioche bun.
The restaurant just celebrated its 10th anniversary, during which it added a Golden Monkey cocktail to the menu. The 60-ounce party bowl mixes Santo reposado tequila and pineapple juice with toasted coconut flakes and brûlée banana and comes with a take-home souvenir shot glass and gold skull bar pick.
