The 18 Best Restaurants Worth Leaving the Strip for in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas
"Even those who have not yet tasted chef Bruce Kalman’s food are likely familiar with his culinary chops — he’s appeared on season 15 of Top Chef, as well as Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay. In Las Vegas, he takes up residence on Main Street, where his smokers are nestled between two breweries, wafting sweet woodsmoke into the air that lures in bar hoppers like cartoons to a windowsill pie. That smoke infuses slices of brisket, softening it for a melt-in-mouth effect, and the underrated turkey breast, which is amply juicy and flavorful. An outdoor patio, brews from the neighboring breweries, and a rotating lineup of live music keep the vibes cool. Must-try dish: The Belly of Soul sandwich with brisket, both pickled and crispy onions, cheese sauce, a fried egg, and spicy barbecue sauce." - Janna Karel
