Ground-breaking since opening Carson Kitchen’s greatness has seemingly become so expected that many are prone to overlook it, but on Sunday Afternoon 124 South 6th Street again showed well with thirteen new items debuted just a few days earlier.
Fortunate to have tasted every new plate at Carson Kitchen since summer of 2015, Chefs Harwell, Simon and team forever rethinking even longtime best-sellers, it was alongside drinks that dining began shortly, all well-suited to iconic Chicken Skins, “Devil’s Eggs” and Tempura Green Beans with Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese.
Continuing with more Skins, equally enjoyable today as in 2014, Hot Dog “Burnt Ends” stand out thanks to sticky BBQ Sauce while seasonal Salads are highlighted by “Pear & Raspberry” best enjoyed adjacent grilled Oysters with Gochujang.
Forever exuding creativity, quality and the sort of Food that challenges without compromise Cabbage “Steak” is the latest Vegan showcase and for those okay with Butter or Cheese the “Boozy” Carrots and “French Onion” Fingerlings are even more delicious.
Going Shortrib for this season’s flatbread, and Pot Roast for “Between Bread,” a new rendition of the Burger incorporates Jalapeno Bacon to good effect while Pasta with Rabbit and Steelhead Trout are enjoyable and hearty enough for colder weather.
Disappointed to see Banoffee “Pie” again on hiatus, especially as Pear “Cheesecake” is overwhelmed by funk, Las Vegas’ best Brownie and Donut Bread Pudding remain mainstays and should be requisite to end every visit to DTLV’s best Restaurant.
