Git R Done

This last weekend I had the pleasure of going to the Las Vegas NASCAR race for work. Of course I was pretty much on my deathbed with fever, flu, snot drainage, etc. Needless to say I was not what you would call the "coolest" person as I took a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day and was in bed by 10:30, but I survived.

The best part about the trip was going to David Burke's new place in the Venetian for dinner. My good friend LIndsay is dating the executive chef there and he came out to meet us and kept sending RIDICULOUS food our way. We had this amazing rock seared Kobe beef and shrimp, and he sent a stone crab on a bed of nails, and the ultimate was the dessert he sent for us. IT was a cheesecake lollipop tree with bubblegum whipped cream. And I am not kidding you the whipped cream tasted like every kids dream.

The race was fun, although quite windy and cold. I managed to get sunburn on my face though! We only got to stay for 20 laps of the race which seemed pretty ridiculous but I got to do my favorite parts which is watch the driver introductions (see Tony Stewart below) and listen to the national anthem with the flyover.
