🍝 First Look at New Esther’s
Esther’s Kitchen, the beloved — but very small: 58 seats — Arts District Italian joint run by chef James Trees, has a new, much larger home in the works. Food journalist Johnathan L. Wright got a sneak peek of the in-process buildout of the 12,000-square-foot former Retro Vegas space on Main Street. [Review-Journal]
🥪 Here’s the Beef
Thanks to the popularity of the Hulu TV series “The Bear,” there’s a renewed interest in the classic Chicago beef sandwich. Turns out you can find a pretty good one in Henderson: Windy City Beefs and Pizza. “I make it the true Chicago way,” says owner Tim Korney. [Las Vegas Weekly]
🥪 There’s a $200 Sandwich in Las Vegas?

Local food Twitterers recently scorched Eater Vegas’ list of the top burgers in town, but this rundown of best hot dog joints seems more reliable, at least based on my experiences. I’ll defend Buldogi’s and Steamie Weenie against all comers! [Eater Vegas]
