Ah, I will miss go ol’ Paul Harvey, may he rest somewhat in peace, he probably deserves it. I say that because he worked in radio, the left handed, red headed, pigeon toed, freckle faced step-child of the entertainment industry, just ask any one who works in it. Regular radio is a slowly disappearing breed, I believe. For about 5years now I have subscribed to Sirius Satellite Radio. I LOVE it. That is not an exaggeration, I love it. I have taken many a long trip with my Sirius radio and have listened non stop to what I want as the miles roll by with no commercials and not re-tuning as a station fades. I have the Stiletto 2 and record a lot of music and talk radio for later enjoyment, all in digital clarity. NFL, NBA, NASCAR…it’s all there. As Kip sangin Napoleon Dynamite,”I love technology…” . It is the future, so love it, nurture it and BUY it. (There, I will slink from my slippery soap box and stop proselytizing…for at least a minute or two…maybe). Now, on to a great food spot…because let’s face it, is there anything more sensual, more corporeal beastie than food, glorious food. (Que Angelic singing here)….Firefly Restaurant on Paradise Rd. It’s all about tapas…yes, those tapas, “little dishes” of delicious goodness. Serrano ham and Manchego cheese croquetas, one of my favorites, along with filet Mignon sliders. Think White Castle sliders from an alternate universe where cheap ground is replaced with medium done Filet and cabrales cheese topped with caramelized onion. Ahi tuna skewers, shrimp tempura…Oh! Be still my heart, betray me not by leaping from my chest and arriving at Firefly’s before me! So many choices on the menu, so little stomach room. There is a great bar at this restaurant and it is a mild hot spot on the weekends and a hip place to been seen. A good location on Paradise near Flamingo so the fun and pleasures of the Strip are blocks away. Challenge yourself here and go with friends, as many as possible and try many of these “little dishes” by swapping, the same way they do in South America which is the flavor and “soul” of this place. Find them on the web at Fireflylv.com. Look at the menu and salivate as you contemplate your emanate arrival at the door of said establishment. When there, if you can tear eyes and attention away from the food and drinks, look around,check the darker corners and booths. You just might catch a glimpse of a cleaned up Desert Rat…nibbling (ahem, pardon me), noshing on Manchego cheese.
