On the November episode of Las Vegas Weekly’s Second Helping food podcast, we’re turning things around and exploring our experiences writing about food and restaurants.

We hit Clique Lounge at the Cosmopolitan to judge the late-night Industry Chef Battle live cooking competition. Leslie and Genevie visit Crack Shack at Park MGM to learn about how they approach and evaluate each restaurant experience. Brock takes Jim Begley to lunch at Mordeo for an in-depth discussion between two longtime local food writers. And as usual, we can’t wait to talk about the best things we ate last month in Las Vegas.

This episode of Second Helping is presented by the Silverton.

You can also find Second Helping on YouTube and Apple Podcasts.

Second Helping is produced by Leslie Ventura, Genevie Durano and Brock Radke for Las Vegas Weekly magazine.
