Dishola: Reviews by the Dish

About ChefElmarPrambs

I would not be where I am today without the most important influence on my cooking: my mother's kitchen. A home cooked meal from my Mom beats them all. Regardless of what she prepares, it's done with love -- the most important ingredient in any meal!

Foodie Fetishes

• Recommended Food Safari: When I can find the time, I would love to go and spend a few weeks in Tuscany...just kicking back, experiencing life to the fullest, picking fresh produce and getting off the fast pace we tend to embrace here in the States.
• Your Fantasy Tablemates: My grandfather who I never got to meet, Ronald Reagan, Amelia Earhart and Tina Turner. Now that would be a most memorable evening!
• Favorite Cuisine: Anything flavorful, recognizable and not too weird since I'm actually a very finicky eater. At heart, I'm more of a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy, which must be because of my German upbringing.
• Last Meal Request: Hopefully this won't be for a very long time, but for the purpose of dishola, I'd have to say my last meal would include steak with Bearnaise sauce, Shiner Bock-glazed shrimp, a great bottle of a California red and any chocolate dessert. The more chocolate the better!
• Favorite Eating Town: My favorite city for dining would have to be Las Vegas. All the big name chefs are there now, which is a big change from 20 years ago when there was only cheap buffet food. I've visited every year for the past 18 years, and each time the food scene and surroundings have improved tremendously - it's spectacular.
