Exploring eats options in Carson City, Nevada, we found this fantastic place that will surely become a fast favorite! The food, service, ambiance…. The Fox Brew Pub. All of it jams! I had the Fox Burger. Amazing flavor profile! It’s the Bourbon Chipotle Sauce that really takes it over the top!
THE FOX BURGER.: The Original. With jack cheese, bacon, sautéed onions & bourbon chipotle sauce.
Our new friend, Charles, caught some fresh Trout and Kokanee this morning. Apparently, you bring your fresh caught fish to McDuff’s and they cook it up for you! Soooo delicious!!
Ok. Every now and then — it’s splurge time. Check out these oh so good fried onion rings! Audibles is our favorite Tahoe sports bar. And they have great food! These rings are the best!!
Michael loves the Drunken Shrimp dish at Izzy's -- a favorite SF steakhouse in our SF neighborhood. Last night, I took a stab at replicating the recipe. The result was fantastic! The secret ingredient (per my source at Izzy’s)? Anchor Steam.

Toss the shrimp in your choice of creole seasoning and refridgerate for an hour.
Melt butter and sauté the shallots for a couple of minutes. Then add garlic and sauté a minute longer.
Add the shrimp, salt, lemon juice, beer and fish sauce. Cook until the shrimp is pink.
Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.

The pretzel sticks at McP’s South Lake Tahoe come with an amazingly delicious Taphouse cheesy beer dip. The pretzels are soft, warm, and buttery. The cheesy dip is so fantastic… it’s seriously beyond! Ping us if you’re inspired to stop by as we live right down the street and will happily join you!
