Vegas is an old Western town, so that’s why steakhouses are such fixtures here … right? Well, not exactly. Culinary historian Sarah Lohman sits down with her co-host Dayvid Figler to trace the history of American steak from its home on the range, through the moneyed elite of NYC, and over to the casinos of Las Vegas. They talk about why our infamous steak and eggs breakfasts are so dang cheap, the rise of “clubstaurants,” and how one Vegas steakhouse out-bros them all (hint: DJs and a diamond-encrusted suitcase are involved). Steakhouses mentioned: Bob Taylor’s Ranch House Golden Steer Circus Circus Main St. Provisions El Cortez Coffee Shop Papi Steak at the Fontainebleau Echo & Rig Cote at the Venetian STK at the Cosmopolitan Cleaver Herbs and Rye Want to get in touch?
