Ali Khan and the Fam made a stop during Spring Break for a splurge dinner in Lubbock TX. My kid tried medium rare duck and liked it. That's worth every penny of the $29 they charged.

My fam hit Vegas for my wife's bday blowout. And that we did for an EPIC LUNCH at Brera Osteria located in the Venetian on the Strip. Currently my fav restaurant if I'm going the Casino/NON CHEAP EATS route . . .

My wife turned 50. We went all out on a $500 dinner in Las Vegas. Was it worth it? Find out! Ali Khan rolls the dice at The X Pot at The Venetian Las Vegas!!

Ali Khan stops in Amarillo TX for a burger craving at Furrbie's and finds a classic Texas burger experience if you order right . . .

Ali Khan makes a pit stop in Cimarron New Mexico for a a true hole in the wall gem: Cree-Mee Drive and gets a bowl legit Cheap Eats and a New Mexico staple: Hatch green chile stew!

This is a throwback when Ali Khan was in between shooting season one of Cheap Eats. I found myself in Philly and had homework: getting a Roast Pork at Dinic's in Reading Terminal.

From an UNAIRED episode of Food Network & Cooking Channel's Best Thing I Ever Ate comes Ali Khan's pasta pick: Al dente noodles, sweet red sauce and fat meatball action from a food truck in Austin TX.

If there is a burger pop up in Austin you damn well know Ali Khan will be there. If to only verify that Bang for your Burger Buck factor alone . . .

My friends at Traeger sent me their Pulled Pork slider meal kit. I figured it was Super Bowl worthy enough to share the experience with. It takes me back to Cheap Eats Asheville and the Carolina Pulled Pork we had there.

JNL Barbecue's Al Pastor Ribs have been on my radar for far too long. I finally made it there a few weekends ago. But then something else I tried just took my breath away.
