Wicked Spoon Buffet Is Open NOW at Cosmopolitan Las Vegas!

[@AllYouCanVegas]

How do you think the Wicked Spoon buffet compares to the new buffet at Wynn? Watch my review of the Wynn buffet here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raHZdYKVgdx4kNE

[@Mickey_McD]

The food quality at the Wynn looked good, but the menu was not that extensive for a buffet -- also very pricey. The Wicked Spoon's selection looked more extensive but not as fancy and only for brunch, and also less expensive than the Wynn.

[@pokerjunky]

depends on price. lol wicked spoons you get up. i think they wynn you dont. I like to see it at the spoon what i want instead of just reading it at the Wynn. plus I like better price. your food looked yummy. I'm gonna say the Wicked spoon for sure!!!!

[@ksteven559]

Wynn was one of the worst buffet I ever been to! Foods was horrible! Also waited 30 minutes just for a cold Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes!

[@poohvie2513]

@@ksteven559 Happened to me also, horrible food and I went every day at brunch because we had free brunch with reservation. We tried everything just to give it a chance and everyday it was horrible. How do you mess up French toast, mushy bread. Dry dry dry fried chicken. Mac and cheese was powered with powder cheese.

[@JazzGoldsack_joker024]

Invented a new drinking game over Quarintine lol. We call it the Mmmmm scale. A sip for one MMM and a chug for a bigger reaction of

[@BumDog2112]

I’ve always loved your videos but the addition of your fiancé has brought them to another level! A+

[@johnhunady3526]

Yes for sure. Derek's fiance has elevated his videos to like A +++ ! She gives a wonderful introduction to the exotic dishes at both the Wicked Spoon and Wynn buffets in Derek's videos.

[@debravalys7534]

I live in a very tiny town. Nothing like this exists near us. I vicariously live in the world of KZbin where the food and fun looks amazing.

[@debfarrell2505]

I am really like that you are including your fiancee. She has a great eye for food and the the fact that she trys other things than you do,doubles the fun.

[@reniehandler2595]

better if we were actually able to see her eye

[@garyjordan4269]

There was very little media about them opening up. As I walked in I said we beat Derek to the buffet. As I watched this morning, I walked right past him in the 8 minute mark! How funny, good thing I didn't see you, I would have made a scene, huge fan!

[@Techsticle]

"Do you have any carved Prime Rib?... No?... How about Fried Chicken?" 😂👍🍗

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

Spaghetti/w meatheads?🤣

[@rickybansal9465]

They can easily drop the glass partition all the way down to the counter so no one reaches in, yet sees the food up close. A server behind, can then serve what customer wants.

[@electrictroy2010]

I was thinking how much that would cost! Especially for something that is only temporary (the buffet will resume normal half-yourself operation after vaccine arrives (early 2021)).

[@ellenw391]

I was thinking signs that were about 3 times larger saying what the food was would be a huge help to begin with!

[@inezbenizri2532]

I see you finally showed your better half. She is very articulate and knowledgeable in her food endeavors. Bravo King!

[@thedivine3539]

Derik I always watch your videos when im hella stoned. They are constant entertainment. Your food commentary is amazing and you make it so i can visit vegas buffets from the vomfort of my kansas home. Thank you for the amazing videography, keep up the good work! Keep being unique

[@stephaniep.5175]

I think I like this idea better than the Wynn. Thanks again for the video, you're still the best! And, I must mention, I really enjoy seeing your fiance in the vids.

[@shayj5124]

I love this concept. Personally, I like being served even if it's a buffet. The food stays safe and the Employees get to keep their jobs. How wonderful.

[@txoutlawent.6515]

That background chatter.... completely soothing right now🤘🏽 Stay safe Derek! Keep the vids coming its keeping our spirits up!

[@DHL1]

The woman giving the instructions at the beginning reminds me of a cross between a nurse & flight attendant. 😂

[@RickyG225]

LOL!

[@jeffreyjewell75]

They should tip her well !

[@Tony-zx8ju]

i thought the same. they should change attire.

[@electrictroy2010]

Casino workers get union wages of $20/hour. They don’t need tip because they are already well compensated (better than me in fact).

[@ColtraneAndRain]

As a nurse I approve your statement! We do tend to talk to people like they're 9 years old. 😅

[@DelbertStinkfester]

This new buffet style may work in Vegas because it's such a big part of the Vegas experience but I worry that this won't work in less touristy communities.....I think a lot of buffet style restaurants are going to go out of business

[@wallacejames2231]

I totally agree with ya!

[@stevekckm7879]

The home town buffets like Golden Corral are becoming all you can eat cafeterias

[@DelbertStinkfester]

@POOPSACK MAGILACUTTY Ya I loved that place too

[@LAFan]

Soup Plantation was one of the first to call it quits.

[@jeffreyjewell75]

Steve KCKM lmao. Pig food !!!

[@sherrik9419]

I’m here for Derek’s facial expression! I’m really enjoying the reviews from both of you, great job!

[@ew6629]

Great to hear your fiance's opinions in your more recent videos!

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Whoop! And so it continues. Good to see you back at it.

[@chancefitzgerald7740]

Your face was priceless eating the rice cakes. Thanks

[@amytheresegonzales225]

So far, I like how the wicked spoon runs their buffet. I'm used to looking at the buffet closer.

[@chrisdayid]

Everyone - I love all foods and will try anything. Derek - I like fried chicken and mash potato.

[@Phonoodles408]

Thank you all you can Vegas for continuing to show your viewers the delicious buffet foods!!!

[@KiaBelle]

Thanks for the video I like this method you can still walk around after each plate

[@conniefleming7513]

Thank you so much for posting this! I am going this upcoming week and really wanted to know what to expect.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Great video Derek and great buffet! Loving this style much better 😃😃😃😃

[@Anna-ww9cl]

So happy to see you back! They should have trays rather than plates to place the food on, more room for more food!! Stay safe 😊

[@RickyG225]

They need to change all of that plating going on. Way too many for small amounts of food. The dishwasher must be sweating bullets back there. Arrrgghh!

[@Avenue72nd]

Wynn has better food but I preferred the method at Cosmo ... I like how you get what you want without the wait ..😋

[@BIGJATPSU]

Agreed, probably the closest to a "normal" buffet we'll get until this is all over. Possibly a model for others to copy when they reopen. Will be interesting to see which way the Bacchanal goes with when it reopens.

[@jerseyinsd]

coming to LV 20 July for a week, hoping the Bacchanal is open by then

[@horseplop9]

It is easier but I still Didn't like the Style

[@electrictroy2010]

I thought Wynn’s food was worse tasting than Cosmopolitan buffet, because Cosmo’s food is served individually (and usually just made). I’d still rank Wynn #2 overall .

[@irishbirdie]

I love the Wicked Spoon, Wynn is so pretentious

[@viviancoleman8109]

You don't make enough videos. I love watching you at the Buffets best part is the eating. I like when you shiver because it's good.

[@Einzee]

She knows how to eat. Total keeper. Ive met nobody, besides myself, that would eat the whole shrimp!

[@claudiaday5893]

Love watching your video, Derek ! Seems to calm me after all this madness 🤗👍

[@MAHALDEE88]

Yass!! Another buffet opened. I love all the close ups of the food you and your fiancé got.

[@CC-ey5zt]

Love how your fiancé introduced her food. Very descriptive!!👍❤

[@mopore]

The hostess is giving instructions like Derek's never been to a buffet 🤦‍♂️ If she only knew.

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

Those " dedicated" workers better be changing their gloves often.

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

@Gelie Gones oh. I'm sort of surprised.

[@peopleskarmasquad1042]

[@siteone1354]

Gelie Gones lighten up....

[@stevekckm7879]

Nice having the future Mrs..Derek with you. You need to introduce her and show her off. She obviously is becoming part of the act. I been to the Wynn and liked its presentation a lot. I'll try all of the buffets as they come aboard. I bet the Bacchanal will even be different.

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Another great video Derek. I always get scrambled eggs at brunch but the scrambled egg in the jar was not appealing. I love shrimp too but when I saw your fiancee eat that fried shrimp head I almost lost it! 🤣 I don't know if I could ever do that but she made it sound so gooood!!! Love when your fiancee joins you in the reviews. The two of you together is magical. You complement each other. Keep up the great work and stay safe. 🥰

[@pumpkinpie5265]

I think this is better, and as I remember, the food is better here, than in the Wynn buffet. Thanks Derek and fiancé ☺️❤️

[@tonycarpaccio9550]

I went for the Wynn Gourmet Dinner this past Friday, it was NOT worth the money at all. All the meats and even the crab legs were massively overseasoned with salt. They kept messing up our orders too and giving them to random tables. It was a total chaotic disaster for 70 dollars each, noooo thanks.

[@electrictroy2010]

I like Wynn’s gourmet level taste, but it was often over spiced. Overall I rate it #2 compared to Cosmo’s buffet

[@annehajdu8654]

This virus is a nightmare for buffet lovers!!!! :( lol

[@wesdog256]

It’s a nightmare period for everyone & everything we like too do everyday 🙄 .. how are the Athletes going to deal with this with all the sports opens up? Movie theaters?

[@chi-townvico1533]

..... Yes! I hate all this Mask wearing bs! It's just Not Fun Vegas anymore!

[@laurencliver6452]

Wes Gauda we are doing great with little leakage and travel teams. It’s a change but the kids love it. Now professional sports will be interesting.

[@marklouis1890]

I'm telling you

[@bobbosinclair9615]

Happy to see the staff working and the Cosmo alive again

[@peterdasaro2124]

The King is back

[@SouthernR0cker4Life]

When is Self Serve coming back? They're treating everyone like children. Are they really that afraid of someone coughing or sneezing on the food? How hard is it to turn the head and pull out a tissue to sneeze into?

[@VoteAdnanShahab]

This is the second video I've seen where you are throwing it in my face that I don't have a fiancee. Congratulations, Derek! The food seems better over at Wynn, but the style of serving at Wicked Spoon is closer to a "real" buffet. I'll be trying at least one of them next week.

[@rockslime]

Even though I have gone to Las Vegas yet I like this style they the cosmo is doing. It’s close to what a buffet is like before the shut down. Wynn has change and it not like a buffet anymore.

[@jaytee6586]

Disagree, been to both now. Preferred the Wynn.

[@valerieneal2747]

I just read that virus cases are increasing among floor workers at the Cosmo...😲😨😢😲😨😨😨 !!

[@lidascarbro1773]

Your fiancee is lovely and good addition to your video. Together you both give good views of the food provided

[@wendybrooks676]

Thank you very insightful! I am looking at recommendations to give my son and his girlfriend for their first couple trip to Vegas since so much has changed since Covid!

[@rockslime]

I am going to Las Vegas this coming Tuesday. Wicked spoon is one of my favorite buffets. Can’t wait to go.

[@chrisparker5415]

Your fiancé is an excellent food reviewer. She’s very descriptive. I would have passed on the jar of scrambled eggs. It sounds weird.

[@ginawiggles918]

Yeah....what happened to that old Vegas tried & true, the OMELET STATION??

[@mattmiller3586]

They may be doing them in the jars to keep the eggs hot so they dont get cold just my observation

[@FoxFourX1]

gina wiggles I was going to write the same thing about Derek’s fiancé.

[@zacheryp813]

Lolol the jar is just the vessel

[@Churchill9050]

She did a great job...and when she ate the head of the shrimp...AWESOME!. Thanks to you both.

[@Brantoc]

AWESOME! Guess I'll have to put that on my list next weekend when I'm in town.

[@rcsutter]

Good to see you doing what you do best Derek. I don't really know why I enjoy your buffet videos so much, I just know I do. That's all the really matters, right? And I appreciate you showing us what the "new normal" looks like when we go to a buffet. I know you're not a big crab leg fan, but I am and those looked really good. Thanks and keep up the good work my friend.

[@Oyares5360]

I appreciate you and your fiance showing us the new buffet style. I'm sure the resorts will get plenty of feedback and will refine as they go along. Your fiance really knows her food! Of course, I enjoy seeing your eyes pop out when you taste different foods😋😄. Great video Derek, keep it up👍

[@Nonduality]

Another fine video documenting the opening of the new Las Vegas. Listen with good headphones for total immersion in the sounds and activity of the Wicked Spoon. Your fiance is an excellent addition. But she needs a name other than "my fiance." Something like Vegas Girl or something.

[@ginawiggles918]

I agree. And if Derek doesn't give her a name.....WE WILL! Something cute & sexy.....like Gina Wiggles maybe. ;-D

[@violanorkus9575]

I love the way Dereks eyes light up when food is too hot or is delicious ! M

[@geriferguson7176]

Glad to have you back

[@buckolaci]

Way to go Derek, loved the video. The Wicked Spoon is reinventing buffets for the second time within a decade: first the small plate-style dishes and now the corridor. Just don’t get lost in the maze ;)

[@theunprofessionalchef1075]

Derek, thanks for the video on this. Like with the Wynn buffet video, it's really nice seeing how they've adapted. From the videos, I like the way the Wicked Spoon is operating better. I'd rather be able to go up to the buffet as frequently as I like when I'm ready for the next round than have to wait for somebody to bring something around to me. I could see a bit of a drawback not being able to see the offerings right up close, but I do think I'd be much more comfortable with the Wicked Spoon setup vs the Wynn setup. Thanks for showing us all the changes!!

[@faykguru]

For me, the Wicked Spoon looked so much better than the Wynn buffet. Can't wait to go.

[@EddieH711]

Thanks for making the video. I think Wicked Spoon is the better choice right now. You get to walk around and check the food out and they don’t have a time limit

[@jennifermacfarlane6738]

[@Ben..E]

Food looks great, and varied. I like the idea of being able to choose by sight, vs. off a menu, and you don't have to wait for food, like at the Wynn. Wicked Spoon seems better for samplers. I guess if you know what you want , do the Wynn, though, and just order to keep it coming.

[@toonboy4067]

If you already know the taste of the dish you can ask for two instead of one at the Wicked Spoon.

Ths Derek. I'm from canada but will never get there to enjoy the food. Just enjoy your covering thoughts on the different buffets.

[@Mickey_McD]

I think that this approach to running the buffet is great -- a compromise from what it was before, but if it can be done safely with no employees or patrons getting sick, then congratulations to the Wicked Spoon. The food looks good with a good selection. Maybe they just need to make the print size larger on the food description placards on the buffet.

[@Sarahnjack]

Thank you so much for posting this! So for the Wynn buffet vid you posted I did like how you can just sit and order unlimited food and have it brought to you and not have to wear a mask, but it’s a pretty limited choice of food unlike typical buffet options and kinda annoying to wait for the server. I like how this buffet you can still get up and get more whenever you want, but it does look slightly more chaotic and to put a mask on every time is annoying. So interesting how they are so different! Can’t wait to see how more buffets and restaurants you visit are operating these days!

[@jayd2655]

[@RussIsRight]

While not ideal, I think I like this method better than last week's Wynn Buffet video. At the Wynn, you can't even see the food... they just bring it to you. At least here, you can see what you might want (I know, it's at a distance) and can get the food faster than waiting for the wait staff to bring it to your table. This method seems more like "buffet style" to me than at the Wynn. The Wynn's method seems just like any other restaurant, but it's unlimited food for a couple of hours.

[@RickyG225]

That seems about right. This place gets my vote thus far into the latest Vegas reviews
