All About the Music
Lionel Richie’s ‘All The Hits’ takes its final lap The massive Zappos Theater on the Las Vegas Strip is home to musical residencies from some of pop music’s biggest stars (Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez and Backstreet Boys, to name a few), but there’s only one true legend in this room. Lionel Richie is back at the Planet Hollywood venue for seven shows this month (Aug. 15, 17-18, 21, 24-25 & 28). His crowd-pleasing production All The Hits has been electrifying Vegas audiences for more than two years, and while it’s a relatively stripped-down experience compared to the other spectaculars presented in this theater, Richie has everything he needs. “I’m in that blessed category because I don’t need the dancers and all the stuff in-between, I just need the next song,” said the 69-year-old singer and songwriter. “My biggest problem is it’s guaranteed someone is going to leave saying, ‘I can’t believe they didn’t play (something).’ There was a point in my life when all we had to do was worry if we had enough music to play one hour of our songs only. If you’ve got that, you’ve got yourself an opportunity to have a career.” And what a career it’s been for Richie, who broke out in the late ’60s with funk-soul outfit the Commodores and went solo in 1982. His sophomore solo album Can’t Slow Down, released the following year, broke records and dominated charts and radio play for years with memorable tunes like “All Night Long,” “Stuck On You” and “Hello.” Incredibly, there were only eight tracks on that album. “When I turned the album in, the record company said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ Here’s the joke: Seven of the eight were hits,” Richie said. “But the concept back then was that there was a record store. You want to come out with your album at the same time as Michael (Jackson) and Prince and (Bruce) Springsteen and Madonna, because when you walk to the front of the store, there was always the latest releases, so you go to pick up Thriller and there’s Can’t Slow Down. You’re not going to walk out with just one.”

Richie packs many of his solo hits into his Zappos Theater show but digs deeper for earlier tracks as well, turning the venue into a throwback dance party and cutting back and forth between romantic ballads. It’s a concert only one legend could provide, full of musical touch points that resonate with fans of all ages. “That’s what it’s about. You don’t go to see
(Bob) Dylan with dancers; he’s going to tell you a story. You’re looking for the character and the flavor,” he said. “Everything doesn’t have to be boom-bam-boom.” Richie recently announced the final dates for his Vegas show, nine performances set for Oct. 3-20. This is one Strip resident you can’t afford to miss.

Return to Form You may know Matt Goss from the sexy, swinging sounds of his cabaret-style show at The Mirage’s 1 OAK Nightclub, but as the former frontman of UK pop group Bros, Goss has a lot more music in his bag of tricks. His new single “Red Flares” demonstrates his versatility and it’s just the beginning of a wave of new music from the international entertainer.
“This track has that really contemporary beat and melody and I just wanted to dig into that world again,” Goss recently said. “I’m definitely not done creating music for radio as well as for myself, and it’s an interesting challenge to write something and put my name behind it while keeping it contemporary,” he said. It’s tougher than it seems.”
Songs That Stick From “We Don’t Talk Anymore” to “See You Again,” Charlie Puth’s carefully crafted, incredibly catchy songs have been ubiquitous radio fixtures for the last three years. The 26-year-old New Jersey-born singer, songwriter and producer upped the ante with this year’s Voicenotes, his second major label studio album, featuring hit singles “Attention” and “How Long” and a distinct infusion of late-’80s and early-’90s R&B sounds. Puth has guest spots from Boyz II Men and Kehlani on the record, but he also has James Taylor, proving his infectious sound can’t be pigeonholed. “I have a more mature listening palate now. I’ve been around the world touring,” he told the Chicago Tribune. “I’ve always wanted to combine jazz and pop music and now is the perfect time to do it.” Puth’s Voicenotes Tour stops in The Pearl at Palms on Aug. 12.

Halsey knows how to Vegas. The alt-pop star really made the most of a recent visit, starting with a tour stop at the Pearl at Palms and then headlining Playboy’s Midsummer Night’s Dream at Marquee in The Cosmopolitan. She even found time to join dance music pal Diplo in the DJ booth at XS Nightclub at Wynn the same night. On day two, after Instagramming a hot tub shot from her suite at Palms (captioned “Vegas is growing on me.”) she dined at Scotch 80 Prime and returned to XS to check out Marshmello. Halsey wasn’t the only famous face spending times at Palms recently. Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star Scott Disick had his first experience with the edgy style of Apex Social Club. Also spotted: rappers Talib Kweli and Raul Conde and baseball great Jason Giambi. The “original social media influencer” Perez Hilton debuted as guest host of Chippendales The Show at the Rio in a steampunk-inspired ringmaster costume (his mother was even in the audience to cheer him on). When you’re a dance superstar and you come to Vegas, how do you decide which dance spectacular to check out? Dancing with the Stars judge and triple-threat entertainer Julianne Hough hit the late show at Magic Mike Live at the Hard Rock Hotel to celebrate her sister’s bachelorette party. Captain America himself, aka actor Chris Evans, partied with friends recently at Drai’s Nightclub at The Cromwell when ultra-hot R&B duo DVSN took the stage for a few songs during new Drai’s resident Ty Dolla $ign’s set.

HOT PICKS Perfect Plate Whether you’re carnivore or vegan, Sean McClain’s Sage has something special for you. You’ll find a pair of tasting menus at this farm-to-table restaurant, and one is vegan (yes!). Seasonal ingredients dominate, whether it’s ricotta gnocchi with sweet corn or roasted carrot with harissa. The dinner menu is stuffed with good things for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, and the dessert menu aah-mazes. –Nina King Aria, 6-10:30 p.m. Mon.-Sat. 702.590.9520
Quite the Pair You like wine, right? And chocolate? Then this is for you. At Ethel M’s Factory Store, you can sit down for a chocolate and wine pairing in the chocolate maker’s tasting room. Each chocolate will be accompanied by a wine, each selected to enhance the properties of the other. –NK 2 Cactus Garden Drive, Henderson, Nev., chocolate and wine pairing 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on the odd hour, $25, 21+, reservations recommended. 702.435.2608
Relax Now One of the more relaxing options in Vegas are the spas, and one of the most luxurious is The Spa at Four Seasons. Massage and skin therapies include seasonal specials—the Essence of the Seasons 80- and 100-minute treatments currently feature Pure Fiji, which lends a sweet, coconuthoney aroma to your body massage and foot and back scrub. Cap it off with a pedicure and you’re good to go. –NK Four Seasons, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily. 702.632.5302

Women Rule
All-male revue seeks to empower its audiences Ladies, tonight it’s all about you. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, getting hitched, getting over a divorce or just plain and simple need a serious girls’ night out, look no further than Magic Mike Live. Inspired by the hit films starring Channing Tatum, this is not your average male revue. Lyndsay Hailey, the show’s emcee, describes the Las Vegas production as, “sexy, empowering and motivational.” Hailey, an alumna of Second City National Touring Company in Chicago with more than 10 years of comedy experience under her belt, co-wrote Magic Mike Live with Tatum. “It’s been amazing (working with him). He lets everybody freely express themselves and play at the top of their intelligence,” she says. “What sets it

apart from other shows is the female voice, and that was super important to Channing. It’s really about what women find sexy. The main thing he told me: ‘I want you to put you into the show.’” And indeed she did. Inside the fictional Club Domina, Hailey calls upon her imaginary friend Unicorn (not the kind you had as a little girl but an adult one, with voiceover help from Tatum). Whatever Hailey wants, Hailey gets. Tired of seeing men dressed as firefighters and police officers? No problem. Opt for a man in jeans with a bare chest, and … poof! Just like that, not one but 13 dancers (off all different flavors) magically appear, ready to live out every woman’s fantasies. “Every night when I’m standing onstage and they turn to me
and surf the crowd, I lose my breath every time,” she chuckles. “I think it’s because I’m so excited about what’s about to happen. I love that part. It feels so powerful to be a part of that.” Magic Mike Live is full of many surprises. “Everything from the dance numbers to the writing and the selection of songs—there are so many females involved in this process,” Hailey says. “It’s mostly about what we actually want.” One lucky lady gets her feet rubbed by a dancer named (what else?) Mike; another gets seduced on top of the bar to 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop”; still another straps in tight for a sky-high flight. Add in steamy lap dances, tantalizing stripteases, a wet-and-wild scene and one epic finale to bring everyone to their feet. –Chanelle Hayes

Charisma and Style Few pop-rock frontmen have made the total transformation that Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie has. Breaking out of Las Vegas in the mid-2000s after gaining the attention of Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Panic! At The Disco evolved from overnight sensation to the Brendon Urie show as the other three original members had all departed by 2013. Urie became increasingly comfortable in the spotlight as Panic!’s popularity increased with each successive album, scoring No. 1 albums with 2016’s Death of a Bachelor and latest song set Pray for the Wicked, which debuted at the top of Billboard’s album chart after its June 22 release. Both the new music and Panic!’s latest live gigs have benefitted from his expanded horizons. Videos for Pray’s “Say Amen (Saturday Night)” and “Hey Look Ma, I Made It” demonstrate Urie’s charismatic blend of suave screen and stage presence with a new level of sophisticated satire and self-deprecation. –Matt Kelemen

Rock for Days Psycho Las Vegas has been a welcome addition to Sin City’s busy festival offerings since its inception. First off, it all takes place in one location, which gives festgoers the chance to move from stage to stage with ease in the comfort of air-conditioned venues that were built for live music. The buzz isn’t just in the speakers but also in the air as fans from all over await to see Psycho 2018’s main attraction, Danzig, pictured, performing his seminal album, Danzig III: How the Gods Kill, front to back. Other appointment-viewing acts including Swedish garage rockers The Hellacopters with their revived original lineup, Norwegian symphonic black metal–talk about a subgenre–standouts Dimmu Borgir, Pennsylvania skate punk crew CKY and the always-huggable metalcore quintet All Pigs Must Die. Psycho Las Vegas promises to build on what they’ve done right in the past to continue to deliver one of the most worthwhile festivals in the United States. –Jason Harris

Defying Expectations
Still Standing Andrew Dice Clay is “proud that he brought the kind of comedy persona (to stand-up) in the 1980s that had never been done before. It’s in-your-face comedy,” said Clay, recalling how it got him into all kinds of trouble during his career. “People didn’t know what to think.” When he first appeared wearing his black leather jacket and sunglasses, he looked like a combination of the Terminator and Elvis, he said, laughing. But the last laugh is

his, as he still performs to sell-out crowds and is portraying Lady Gaga’s father in the remake of A Star Is Born. Unlike his brash persona onstage, Dice is an intelligent, down-to-earth fellow. “It’s not about vulgarity,” he said. “It’s about painting comedic cartoons. It’s about making people laugh about themselves and situations like marriage. People need entertainment in these times … they need to escape and laugh.” –Penny Levin
In a seven-year span, Absinthe has evolved to one of the Strip’s must-see productions with comedy, dance, acrobatics, burlesque and other awe-inspiring acts that defy description. Host The Gazillionaire seems to get raunchier and rowdier with every show, while assistant Wanda Widdles sometimes steals the spotlight with an even more offensive sense of humor. Other acclaimed performers include Maxim, who builds a tower of ready-to-topple chairs; the dangerously fast roller skating brother-sister duo Billy and Emily England; phenomenal twin tap dancers Sean and John Scott; and the Green Fairy, a seductive singer who heats up the Spiegeltent with a single smile. –Brock Radke

Named for former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, the restaurant specializes in classic dishes and handcrafted cocktails, and recently introduced several new menu items.

Straight Talk Comic Bill Burr says he isn’t trying to change anybody’s minds about what to think or how to act; he’s just “a comic who isn’t that deep and spends lots of time talking about myself during my act.” Burr made his remark during a recent phone interview with Las Vegas Magazine. “Come down and have a good time,” he suggests when asked what to expect. “I make people laugh and then I get out of their way.” But the mild-mannered guy who says he loves to relax by watching old reruns of the classic ’60s hit TV show 77 Sunset Strip is a far cry from the stand-up performer who never hesitates to mock organized groups such as feminists, political organizations … you name it.
Burr delivers a solid dose of four-letter words in his routine, but explains, “It’s not for the shock value.” Instead, he prefers having some thought behind it. “Otherwise it is boring.” Commenting on the current atmosphere created by the #MeToo movement, Burr says, “It is an uncomfortable time now for a guy.” He definitely supports women, but half-jokes that he is considering “hiring a professional witness” whenever he is in the company of women because there are so many people around who may accuse anyone of anything. One thing seems certain: No one will ever accuse Burr of being boring. –Penny Levin

SPOTLIGHT For this edition of the show? I think like 32 times. There’s a lot of differences between the old show and the new show. We have a director now, so I think that’s a big difference. Was it easier to slip into the character because you had watched others doing it? I think so. I had played Tina before, but I think now having a director to say, “This is definitely good, and this you should definitely stay away from. This is who Tina is,” has helped me really come into this character, and having played the other characters for so long really helped me broaden my horizons as far as improvisation goes. When I started off, I had very little experience with improv. I still don’t feel like I’m that good at improv (laughs), but in this avenue I feel like I made some strides. Who is Tina? She is this tough character who is kind of bratty, sort of gets her way all the time. She’s lovable but she’s bratty and this is her day, so the demons are coming out. She went to high school with Tony and they lived on the same street. Their parents, Tony’s dad and Tina’s mom, dated in high school, so they have some shared background. It gets a little weird. Do you develop your own backstory for her? What’s cool about this is you have these backstories already built into the show, and every production can kind of switch things up and change them depending on who’s playing (the characters), how old the Tony and Tina characters are, where exactly they met or grew up … That’s something that we establish early on with everybody: This is where you went to school, and this is what street you guys grew up on, and this is how you guys met, and this is where you work. These are all things that aren’t necessarily in the script, but you figure it out early on.

and spoke with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen about what it’s like to get married six nights a week. How many times have you been married now? Are you keeping count?
How does having a bio for your character benefit the show? Most of the stuff that I know about Tina is in regards to how Tony and Tina met and her parents, and relationships to other characters—things that don’t really get asked much in the show. It’s good to have them on deck, because every once in a while a savvy audience member will whip out a question where you’re like, “Oookay!” And you gotta make sure everything lines up with everything else.

WOW blends elements of a Las Vegas variety show with modern staging and a soundtrack of familiar, beloved music for an immersive and intimate experience. “We try to give the audience a mixture of many different elements,” says creator and producer Hanoch Rosènn. “I like to see variety, different things that make me say, ‘Wow!

With his baseball prospects lost, Young turned to his love of music, and that eventually put him where he is today, with four top five country hits under his belt.

His Own Direction When the members of One Direction first came together, they hadn’t anticipated forming a group. All five performers had entered on their own in popular U.K. singing competition The X Factor, and they only teamed up at the suggestion of the show’s producers. The rest, of course, is history: One Direction finished third on the seventh season of The X Factor, and then went on to become one of the most successful pop groups in the world. But given the talents of the individual members from the start, it’s no surprise
that they’ve all launched major solo careers. Since One Direction went on hiatus in 2015, Niall Horan has released a string of hit singles as a solo artist, including “This Town,” “Slow Hands” and “On the Loose,” all from his 2017 debut solo album Flicker. Horan’s solo music draws influences from classic rock artists like Fleetwood Mac and Dire Straits, and Flicker features a duet with country star Maren Morris. Away from One Direction, Horan is carving out his own unique path, just as it was always clear that he would. –Josh Bell

Some comedians simply possess a timeless quality. No matter how many stages they’ve taken, how many cities they’ve visited, how many times they’ve unveiled fresh new material, the performance remains familiar, like listening to an old friend. This is what it’s like to catch George Wallace at the Westgate. He’s still offering thoughtful observations on the absurdities around us, but today Wallace has been around the world a few more times and has made all sorts of hilarious discoveries. He’s ready to share them all, from the cultural expansion of his hometown of Atlanta to the ever-changing landscape and people that make Las Vegas so special. –Brock Radke

event. Also on Thursday, Aug. 16, El Segundo Sol at Fashion Show hosts its El Tesoro Tequila Dinner for $60 per person. The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. and features a six-course meal featuring five El Tesoro tequila-based cocktails paired with authentic Mexican dishes. For another dinner experience, Old Homestead Steakhouse and Montecristo Cigar Bar at Caesars Palace have teamed up for The Clubhouse, a semi-private space at Montecristo reserved for guests wanting to enjoy a steak, high-end spirits and cigars simultaneously. Any night of the week, up to 10 guests can reserve a dinner. Got $50? Feel like getting a little toasted and having a good time? Check, check and check at Rock & Reilly’s. From noon to 2 a.m. daily,

Perhaps one of the coolest places to drink and hang this week is at the newly opened Hangover Bar inside the famed wax museum, Madame Tussauds at The Venetian. The bar is decked out as the rooftop scene at Caesars Palace where the comedy franchise movie kicked off the night’s shenanigans. The full-service bar will also offer specialty cocktails like the Wolf Pack and 3 Leg Monkey, and nearby you can snap pics with wax figures of Alan and Phil. –Kiko Miyasato

Aureole chef re-emphasizes role of wine with food Recently, Charlie Palmer’s Aureole at Mandalay Bay, which went through an extensive restaurant remodel last year, got a few more changes—a new chef and new dishes on the menu to boot. During the change, the menu went to a Surf, Root and Ranch theme, and that continues. Chef Alexandre Gregoire, who hails from France and has cooked both there and in the U.S. for
26 8.12.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
nearly 15 years, earlier this year stepped into the head role in the kitchen. Since then, he’s created a menu of dishes that easily pair with the huge selection of wines available at Aureole (the enormous wine tower which dominates the restaurant has been there since it opened in 1999). Palmer, says Gregoire, “tasked me to channel my creativity and show our guests how to pair
the best food with the best wines from Las Vegas’ largest wine selection. I was drawn to Aureole because of the combination of flavors in each dish and how the wine plays such an imperative role in the dining experience.” Indeed, one can see how that would be true. Each of the dishes on the menu has two recommended wines to pair it with, a list tended to by Mandalay Bay wine director Harley Carbery.

Dungeness crab salad
Foie gras du jour
And much of the inspiration for the food here is derived from the wine, says Gregoire. “When I create a new dish, I draw inspiration from seasonal produce and wines from around the world. I work closely with our sommelier at Aureole to bridge the front- and back-of-house gap and to pair dishes perfectly with various wines.” What will you find on the new menu? How about Dungeness crab salad, updated with mango and avocado? Beef carpaccio sports fresh horseradish, while filet mignon and ribeye each come with sauce of red wine or Béarnaise. Foie gras du jour is chef Gregoire’s current favorite on the menu. It’s a decadent dish, combining the unctuousness of foie gras with strawberries and rhubarb. “I love this dish because the acidity of the rhubarb balances perfectly with the richness of foie gras," says Gregoire. Another excellent choice is Colorado lamb loin, served with a lamb shoulder confit, olive tapenade and baby artichoke. In a vegetable lasagna, butternut squash, spinach pasta and mascarpone change up the classic dish. And even vegans can find gourmet fare—the spaghetti squash comes with San Marzano sauce and a vegan truffle cream. Capitalizing on seasonal produce is the strawberry and pistachio tart. Don’t neglect a pairing with the sweet, however, as it can be one of the most rewarding sips of the meal.

Jordan Mazuryk
An education in hospitality Although Jordan Mazuryk is far from where he started—both in career and location, it’s like he’s come full circle. “I knew I was always going to be working with people,” said Mazuryk, the general manager for Golden Nugget’s Tank Pool. “I always knew I was going to be in a teaching environment. I think management is one of the greatest teaching environments.” After college, the Canadian native taught for two years in both his home country and in Thailand. After that, he became part owner of an international tour company for students. He then spent time as a school director in California. But it was during a trip to Las Vegas for a bachelor party that Mazuryk set his sights on Las Vegas, and in 2009 he made the move.
28 8.12.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
That’s when his career began to shift. His first job was as a VIP host for Tao nightclub, then he moved over to the Cosmopolitan and worked in sales and operations, overseeing daylife, nightlife and concert venues. In 2016, one of his mentors, Cindy O’Keefe, came calling. “Anyone in hotel operations knows her name,” Mazuryk said. “And when I had the opportunity to work with Cindy, I jumped at it.” For two years now, he’s been happily “running (the pool) likes it’s my own business. I’ve been allowed to run the operations as I’ve seen fit,” he said. “Hospitality is a constant area of development and you can keep growing. I would consider myself a student of hospitality and I love teaching hospitality.” –Kiko Miyasato
Mazuryk has taken his love of learning and teaching and applied it to another love of his: beer. A couple years ago, he got his level two cicerone certification and, last year, he helped run Golden Nugget’s Beer Fest, bringing in new breweries to showcase. He also helped craft the pool’s beer offerings and added one of his local faves to the menu: Citra Rye, an American pale ale by Joseph James. “It changed my perspective on beer, on Nevada beer specifically,” he said. “It’s just such a phenomenal beer. ... It’s also a beer that put Vegas on the map with craft breweries. It uses pale ale malts that are nice and bready and malty. It has the rye that’s the crisp finish.” –KM

See the sights in a whole new way with Maverick Helicopters By Josh Bell
On a spring Saturday afternoon, the Maverick Helicopters terminal on Las Vegas Boulevard South is buzzing with activity as patrons get ready to board the company’s state-of-theart helicopters for tours of the Grand Canyon. I hear a range of languages and accents as I sit waiting to take the company’s popular Wind Dancer tour, a two-and-half-hour round trip to the Grand Canyon’s west rim, landing 3,500 feet down into the canyon, overlooking the Colorado River. “It’s by far the best of the best of what we do,” Maverick Vice President of Marketing Bryan Kroten says, and it’s
not hard to see why that is once we get in the air. Maverick prides itself on pilots who are not only top-notch aviators but also knowledgeable tour guides and customer-oriented concierges. “They’re your everything during your experience,” Kroten says, and it’s clear from the start that our pilot Rhys Donaldson fits all of those criteria. He jokes with me about taking notes, and puts everyone in our group (including a couple from Southern California and a group from Vancouver) at ease. No one seems nervous to take the flight, but the affable, easygoing

Rhys (with his charming New Zealand accent) could probably calm anyone’s nerves. “I’ve seen 99 percent of the people that are nervous get out of the helicopter and say they want to do it again,” Kroten says, and from the smooth takeoff through the entire ride, Rhys demonstrates that commitment to comfort and competency. It’s about a 45-minute ride to the west rim, with music playing through our headsets the entire time, and Rhys offering up facts about the areas that pass under us as we travel. As informative and personable as Rhys is, though, the views really speak for themselves, and seeing it all from up in the sky is breathtaking, even before we get to the Grand Canyon itself. We land on the west rim with a break for refreshments, and it’s the perfect amount of time to take in the surroundings before getting back on the helicopter, for another gorgeous ride above natural wonders on the way back to Vegas. Before landing at the terminal, we fly over Downtown and the Strip, replicating another popular Maverick package, the Vegas Nights ride. Kroten describes that shorter, less-expensive package as an easy introduction to helicopter tours. “From a time perspective and a monetary situation,” he says, “it is our most mainstream product we do.” From the Vegas Nights flight over the Strip and the Wind Dancer tour of the Grand Canyon to one of Maverick’s shuttle flights to events at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (including the Electric Daisy Carnival), any Maverick ride will be a memorable experience and a highlight of a trip to Vegas. With a fleet of 47 helicopters in six locations, Maverick provides unforgettable views wherever they fly. “Whether you’re in Hawaii or the Grand Canyon or over the Las Vegas Strip,” Kroten says, “the best way to see any of these locales is from a helicopter.”

Flash Back
Legend has it that Gary Lewis kept the identity of his famous father quiet when the teenaged drummer and his band successfully auditioned for a gig at Disneyland. Producer Thomas “Snuff” Garrett thought differently about what was good for the son of comedian Jerry Lewis, which led to Gary Lewis coming out from behind the drums and the Playboys scoring their first and biggest hit in February 1965. “This Diamond Ring,” co-written by future Blood, Sweat and Tears founder Al Kooper, went to No. 1. The group scored six more Top 10 hits, and made television and movie appearances such as the 1966 beach movie Out of Sight before Lewis was drafted in 1967. The time away proved fatal to Lewis’ pop chart run, but the nostalgia circuit was just around the corner. Lewis gathered a new gang of Playboys, and continues to play hits such as “Count Me In,” “Everybody Loves a Clown” and “She’s Just My Style” live for lovers of ’60s pop and fans with fond memories of listening to Lewis on the radio. –Matt Kelemen

Hop Nuts photo by Steve Marcus Peach upside-down cake photo courtesy of Carson Kitchen
Carson Kitchen is unprepossessing from the outside, but inside it runs to a hipster chic, and the menu follows that vibe. Metal chairs and barstools dot the dark space, with high-tops and lower tables in the intimate dining area. Carson Kitchen changes out its menus seasonally, and the summer menu here brings fresh, deep flavors to the fore, from cocktails to peach upside-down cake, perfect for sharing. In the dining room, if you can, snag seating at the chef’s table, an intimate slab overlooking the kitchen, where chef Scott Simon (younger brother of famed rock ’n’ roll chef Kerry Simon, who helped found Carson Kitchen) presides. You might even be able to have a few words about the cocktail selection with Matt Harwell (the younger brother of Carson owner Cory Harwell), who will guide you through offerings such as the Machu Peach-U, a beautiful twist on a pisco sour, featuring Smith & Cross Jamaica rum, Giffard crème de peche and BarSol pisco. The best option to start your meal here is to choose several dishes and share—peach panzanella, a kale and smoky watermelon salad, and sugar snap peas with smoked paprika butter are excellent choices. Continue with chicken thighs under Alabama white barbecue sauce— super tender—and flatbread with earthy wild mushrooms. Peach-upside down cake has been created with Crafthaus zitrone (a bright local beer). The whipped mascarpone makes an excellent topper. Cap it off with the Family Jewel, a lovely concoction with Tattersall Barreled Gin and sweet vermouth. Nice! –Nina King 124 South Sixth St. No. 100, 702.473.9523
