This week on Eat. Talk. Repeat., it's a public service... about service. We dig into what separates the best from the worst in Las Vegas dining and break down the 2024 James Beard Award noms - congrats to Kessler, Flores, Howard, and Amador, but pastry? Nah. We review recent stops from Mother Wolf to The George (yikes), and ponder: should John drop a "52 Not in Vegas" list or a GOAT top 100? Plus: crickets from Alon Shaya, Esther's new spot tour, and Kaiseki Yuzu continues to dominate.
