One of my all time fav sandwiches - Banh Mi

Aug 1

This was my first visit to the nice but small Chinatown in Las Vegas. Although fairly small, comprising of only a couple of large shopping centers (for the most part). I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my fav sandwich shops of all time - Lee's.

Linda and I found Lee's in LA a decade or so ago. There's one near the airport. So we made it a regimen to stop by on the way to our return flight, pick up a couple of sandwiches (always on freshly made french baguette) for the flight. Not sure if there's much better really.

Looks like the franchise is growing, as of course it would. This sandwich is at the top of my list, along with - Central Grocery's (and other New Orleans french quarter) muffaletta,

Robin Wade

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
