Episode 26: Foodie Postcard from Las Vegas Arts District & Northern Spain! (with Cheftimony)
This is a “postcard” episode for foodies. Tania joins Graham MacLennan on his Cheftimony podcast to swap tales and tips from their recent food adventures in the Arts District, Las Vegas and Zarautz, Northern Spain: two very different destinations! First, Tania dives into bites, sips and walks around the up and coming “Arts District” neighbourhood of Las Vegas. Beyond the famous Vegas Strip, the Arts District is a totally different world and THE spot right now for Vegas locals and visitors alike looking to hang out in a totally different layer of Sin City. It’s about small, independent cafés and restaurants, Tania’s favourite Mexican cocina, craft brew pubs, dive bars, vintage shops, community art galleries, and much, much more. Graham then shares culinary adventures from his recent home stay in the coastal town of Zarautz in northern Spain. Pintxos bars, grilled gambas, monk fish, black ink squid, grilled peppers and tapas are all on the menu. Planning your next trip to Basque country? Graham provides detailed field notes on cool local dining experiences in this pocket of the northern Spanish coast and foodie haven San Sebastian. And as you’ll hear, it’s ALL about the croquetas….
