Peabody Memphis

I thought the one time I was at the Peabody for Sunday Brunch in Memphis it was very good. Not cheap (don't remember the exact cost because I wasn't paying....) I would go back.. but then again, I'd go back to Memphis. Cool place.

As for Vegas, I was there last week and stayed at the MGM-Grand. Didn't do the buffet because I hadn't eaten in 20 hours and didn't want to wait in line for a overpriced buffet. I just filled out a survey for them and made a point to ding them on the food, the pricing (wayyy overpriced). Exception: Emerill's was very good. Salmon was delicious, and presentation etc done well.

I'll check out the Wynn. Steve Wynn gets it, corporate America does NOT.

I love the Wynn - I can enjoy the best crabs legs in Vegas (King, not Queen legs), huge shrimp and some very interesting dishes. Although I concur Bellagio does serve a few innovative items of its own, the overall experience doesn't compare to Wynn anymore.

Todai is really hit and miss - some of them are pretty decent, while others are a night of barfing just waiting to happen. When in So Cal, the O'Nami restaurants at West Covina Mall and San Diego make even the best Todai pale in comparison.
