"Nevada Food Porn" most certainly is not "California Food Porn."

Went to a photo shoot for my first Nevada client today...a coffee house that serves sandwiches, bagels, egg dishes, breakfast burritos, etc.

I've never seen so much bacon in my life. I'm not shitting you. The owner brought a BLT to the table that was accompanied by a scoop of potato salad that was smothered in...crumbled bacon.

I'll probably post a few photos here in the next couple of days (I am still working off of a "borrowed" DSL connection).

But if you've seen my previous food porn photos, get ready for a shock. In Nevada, "plating" is what you do when you put gold or silver on something. Other than that, restaurant owners don't seem to know the meaning of the word. I am trying to offer gentle guidance. This is gonna be an interesting challenge.

The prime rib actually rocked. The meat loaf sucked beyond words. I made the mistake of putting a dab of gravy on the mashed potatoes. The main distraction, though, was the never-ending clouds of cigarette smoke rolling into the room from the seniors working the slot machines. There are definitely more smokers here,

Reminds me that I saw a guy photographing food down in Shell Beach a few weeks ago, and thought it might be you...
