Talking to chefs and sometimes lawyers... My name is Graham MacLennan and I've spent most of the last 20 years in law offices and in restaurant kitchens, so the people I know best are chefs and lawyers. On Cheftimony, I talk to both groups, but always to people who love food.

Episode 081 - Something for Everyone
Is a secret to the steakhouse’s enduring appeal that it offers something for everyone? I think that must be at least part of the answer.In my first interview today, I re-connect with the impressive Las Vegas chef and entrepreneur Gary FX LaMorte (https://www.honesthospitalityteam.com/). Gary has designed a lot of menus over a lot of years, and he talks about the importance to the menu of both familiarity (70% of menu items should sit comfortably with guests) and variety (everyone should be able to order something). Steakhouses have this math right.Gary first joined me on Episode 064 of Cheftimony (https://www.cheftimony.com/episodes/cheftimony-episode-064) where we talked about his early days in the Vegas culinary scene and his more recent work through Honest Hospitality, cooking for the Las Vegas Raiders (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e91vZAoZxPA) and many others. Today, Gary and I dive into why the steakhouse works as well as it does and a few of chef’s steakhouse picks in Las Vegas.Up next, you’ll hear from Sonia and Dave of the excellent youtube channel Daverrason Travels (https://www.youtube.com/@DaverrasonTravels) and the podcast by Texans for everyone, It’s Vegas Y’all (https://open.spotify.com/show/0uYRgLQJXwTIqLK1Hdjus5). Dave and Sonia explain the difference between the Texas steakhouse and the Vegas steakhouse, and we visit a few spots on the Strip and Downtown. While they have a soft spot for Andiamo Downtown, these two have also witnessed the presentation of the over-the-top $1,000 Australian wagyu tomahawk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV51gzDjMwA) at Papi Steak in the Fountainbleau Las Vegas.Finally today, you’ll hear from the always-engaging Josh “Vegas” Duffy (https://www.crapvegas.com/about/) of the extremely popular Crap Vegas podcast (https://www.crapvegas.com/). Josh first appeared on Cheftimony (https://www.cheftimony.com/episodes/snack/dinnerwithfrank) in November 2024 after we and many others enjoyed a great meal at Sinatra restaurant at the Wynn resort and casino. Today, Josh and I talk about the broad appeal of steakhouses, a difference in wine service between two top spots on the Strip and – for good measure - McDonald’s in Europe and dessert in Seattle!Right this way, the steakhouse is about to open once more.
