Porn Stars, A Foodie And Brunch At First Food & Bar

Vegas likes to pair its porn stars with its techies, so the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo 2012 and the International CES nestle side-by-side every January. This year, food writer Al Mancini thought it would be a good idea to pair a little porn with brunch. He’s bringing Joanna Angel and the ladies of BurningAngel to brunch at First Food & Bar at the Shoppes at the Palazzo after the big AVN awards banquet. Chef Sam “Sammy D” DeMarco is cooking up a four-course menu and special cocktail pairing for the Jan. 22 brunch.

Look for Joanna Angel’s passed “Put It Into Your Mouth” course with smoked salmon ribbons, smashed Tater Tot Mock Latke topped with crème fraiche, salmon caviar and a glass of bubbling champagne; BurningAngels, a monkey bread with 151 Rum bananas and walnuts paired with Roadside Style: Rocks Glass Bloody with hot fries rim and beef jerky; Jessie Lee’s spinach, mushroom and tomato crepes with mushroom cream accompanied with a tropical smoothie or a tequila-mango margarita; Kleio’s BBQ pork biscuit with an egg over easy and jalapeño hollandaise paired with Jameson Whiskey and pickle juice; Krysta Kaos’ “Gutter Punk” sampler with a BLT, wings, breakfast mini-burgers and family-style mac and cheese followed by hot chocolate and mini cinnamon-sugar donuts.
 
Brunch is $50 and includes a copy of Eating Las Vegas: The 50 Essential Restaurants written by Vegas food critics Mancini, John Curtas and Max Jacobson. For reservations, call 702-607-3478. [EaterWire]
