Gordon Biersch is great for lunch. Full of lunchers from the offices on Howard Hughes Parkway, the best way to do a Vegas lunch here is to order a tasting flight of the microbrews and take your time. Even though the temperature was close to 70 I was sad to learn that the porch is not open. Sun and tables... so close, yet so far away. No matter though, the place clears out by 2 o'clock. There is free wireless internet and a lot to accomplish when time is not a factor and a restaurant brews it's own beer in batches that exceed 100 gallons at a time. My friends had already ordered wings and tall glasses of Marzen by the time I arrived. As soon as our server realized that we were not in a rush, things got friendlier. I took advantage of a tasting flight of the tap beers before corn chowder and a half (extra mayo on the side) turkey sandwich fortified me for the rest of the afternoon. My companions made short work of their burgers and we shared fries, red potatos and cole slaw. All excellent. From 1 p.m. till 4:20 we caught up on news and gossip. I used my companion's wireless and got some work done. I bought a new domain name from GoDaddy.com and we sent a few pictures back to friends in the frozen Midwest and taunted them with the Las Vegas weather forecast. We had a good time and a great lunch.
Now, all I need to know is, who has the key to the patio, and what's it gonna take to get it open before Spring?

Good choice going with GoDaddy. They're reliable and there's no messing around with your account.
ReplyDeleteNow about that beer...been a long time since I've done that. My regular beer friends are now scattered about the world and it's really no fun to drink alone.
