"Food and Loathing" is a savage journey into the stomach of the Las Vegas restaurant and bar scene – with occasional detours to explore some of the valley's other decadent offerings (edible and otherwise). Each week, veteran food writer Al Mancini offers the lowdown on what's new, what's hot and what's delicious in America's most glamorous culinary city. Along with co-host Samantha "Gemini" Stevens and producer Rich Johnson, Al invites you into their conversations with the chefs, bartenders, journalists, and other experts who know where to go – and what to order when you get there.
