This Old Vegas Recipe Has Mob Ties | Cooking The States Nevada

Before the strip was synonymous with celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Bobby Flay, it was where good, honest, gamblin’ folks went for a night of luxury on the low. In order to keep customers spending high, casino’s (like the Flamingo, ran by famous Vegas Mobster Bugsy Spiegel) would offer extravagant meals for a modest price, in the hopes of keeping clientele within the business. Thus, Las Vegas classics like the Prime Rib, Martini, and Shrimp Cocktail were born. So strap in folks, let me learn you a thing or two about old Vegas. 🤘🏼 Adam

Dangggg that looks great! As a New Hampshire native I would guess Clam Chowder.. or maybe apple cider donuts!

[@AdamWitt]

Thanks mate! Dangggg. You sniped it. It's one of those two ;)

[@bryanhumphreys940]

Pro tip: lightly seasoning with salt the ice water will help the flavors stay on the shrimp rather than washing out into your ice bath.

[@chriswhinery925]

Yeah I was gonna say, I don't really see the point of bothering with court bouillon if you're going to put the shrimp into ice water right after. Court bouillon is going to add really, REALLY subtle flavor, the key word there is subtle, and submerging the shrimp in water after is just going to wash it away.

[@garretttuggle1912]

This is one of the most underrated cooking channels on YT!

[@AdamWitt]

Ty Garrett!

[@ParisTNT]

Like a history & cooking class. Super fun to watch.

[@clintonjlong17]

I come for the food. I stay for the slappin intro song

[@IvyMaeInReno]

Love, Love, LOVE everything you made today! Martinis, with Hendrick's! Blue cheese-stuffed olives! My mouth exploded! And such a clever trick to de-poop the shrimp. The boeuf was perfectly cooked. I've been cooking it at 240* and am going lower from now on. However ... when you cut away the crispy fat, I could not suppress a tragic sob.😭

[@AdamWitt]

Thanks! No worries, the sob is warranted.

[@dee_dee_place]

Adam- What time should I arrive for Bugsy's cocktails, appetizers, & prime rib? I'll make sure to have a bankroll of freshly minted hundreds in my clutch purse- LOL. This looks simply marvelous- my mouth is watering. Well Done- Adam.

[@Jackalope235]

Drooling! If ya squeeze right between the tail and the shell you can pull the entire meaty body in one piece! My work here is done!

[@ssgtslick]

The shrimp: Have you tried steaming in beer? Love, a Marylander.

[@killercaos123]

I desperately need to make this for thanksgiving. As a throw back ya know

[@tylerhutton4429]

Prime rib looked amazing. Before I moved to TN I lived in NJ and on very special occasions would go to a steakhouse in Wilmington DE called Walter's steakhouse. They had what they call the Adam's cut. It is a 34 oz prime rib that was delicious.

[@colinschmidt3475]

Dude I used to live in Wilmington. Walter’s is the bomb!

[@michaeldalessandro3020]

Another awesome video respect

[@soupwitch8453]

Love all the sauces, my kinda meal. Lowkey want to replicate this entire setup

[@AdamWitt]

Ty. Do it!

[@arnolds6423]

I was drooling watching you eat that prime rib. OMG going to make one soon.

[@bradcampbell624]

Absolute classic!

[@tommanning7337]

AWESOME!!!!!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@AntonioYon]

New Hampshire maple nut ice cream FTW!

[@nai_laun]

I can tell that sauce was good! Omg wish I could grab a bite! 🤤🤤🤤

[@philipbouchelle483]

Good food, try the garlic stuffed olives for a Martini, just amazing and the jalapeno stuffed ones for a spicey Martini, it works. All dirty of course.

[@whitesonar]

awesome

[@1024div]

Very nice.

[@kylhaselbauer6783]

Look at that fresh Joule Oven.. Nice video sir keep it up.

[@AdamWitt]

Gracias!

[@TheBigdutchster]

Many, many years ago, the restaurant that I worked at made cocktail sauce with just chili sauce (far superior to ketchup) and horseradish.

[@kevinlundin5863]

Welcome to Chicago everyone

[@CheekyPseudonym]

Being born and raised in New Jersey; I'm curious as to what our state has It's a small-ish state, but a "Dog all the way" is a different hot dog, the further south you go Being from Paterson "The Home Of The Texas Weener", I get emotional

[@jamesmassillo7460]

Golden Steer!!!

[@JamieHaDov]

Classic Vegas Prime rib should be served with a baked potato, not mashed. And usually some sort of veg for the appearance of health lol

[@mrfixitishere]

Ironically the morton season salt is less salty then lowerys.

[@PleaseNoMoreFarmhouseDecor]

that looks very vegas-y

[@kevieboy420]

I'm sure Al Capone ate shrimp cocktail with flapper girls because he was alive in the 1920s you know 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@AdamWitt]

He went to jail in 1931, then died in 1947.

[@brandonbasista1099]

Steak bomb?!

[@gdnjr832]

My last meal request. 🍸 🍤 🥩 ☠️

[@mrwrath8275]

No shaking the gin. Gin gets stirred. Vodka you can shake. I mean, do whatever you want if it's for you, but if you tend the bar you stir gin.

[@juliannazajda8883]

as a polish, I am affronted this is NOT KWAS

[@rahul37790]

Thank you for such a interesting recipe upload on khal

[@tarbhnathrac]

Love the cooking demonstration, but running fingers through sweaty, greasy hair and then touching food ... EEEEEW-gross. 🤢
