In this episode of Eat Talk Repeat, John, Ash, and Sam preview what's hot (and what's not) in Vegas dining news-like the Dorsey turning into a dueling piano bar, Cathédrale's Mediterranean mashup, and the much-anticipated arrival of LPM at the Cosmo. They toast Yu-Or-Mi's new back patio bar and plug an upcoming sake-fueled Rush Hour at Nomikai. Recent bites include Esther's Kitchen, CUT (so good Sam skipped the ketchup), and Newport Beach gems like Arc and Louie's. Paris tips are coming soon-stay tuned.
