The $140 Lobster at "Red Plate" Chinese Restaurant, Cosmopolitan Las Vegas.

Food & Travel with "Danny The Medic"

5 ай бұрын

INSIDE the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, there is a not very noticeable Chinese restaurant called Red Plate. The "Stir Fried Lobster with Lemongrass and Thai Sauce" offering there is listed at $110.88, which after tax and tip, your wallet would be about $140 thinner than it was when you walked in.
But Danny The Medic, I thought you were a working man?
Of course I didn't pay for this! I happened to have tier matched to the Cosmo Identity Platinum level card! and that card comes with an annual $250 Resort Credit. Read more about Cosmo's Identity program here: www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/...

She was a big fan of yours and we would sometimes discuss your videos. That’s how I found your channel. I know she said she would make you chicken parm and spaghetti if you were ever in Chicago. She wasn’t joking and she was an exceptional cook. She will certainly be missed.

This place reminds me of when I lived in Tianjin and there would be two restaurants back to back with the same kitchen in the middle. Both served the exact same food, but one was 10-20 times more expensive, but was reserved for the upper 5% extremely wealthy people, and then the other side was for the regular paying customer with normal prices. But the food was EXACTLY the same. The expensive side looked really fancy, and would have incredible service, and then the normal size was always crowded and had overworked servers and was loud and smokey.

Happy you were comped, but “Whole Suckling Pig” at $389.88 and “Whole Peking Duck “ at $128… 😮. Should be named Gold plate 💵💵💵💵.. Hmmmm, $1000 for a 10 lb for a live King Crab 🦀. would have been interesting. The fried turnip triangles are items I love. Lobster Sui Mai looked good. 🦞. Whole lobster de-shelled 🦞 Thai spiced, interesting take. Yes, I like the ginger scallion or Cantonese style too. But, the Thai style looked like they used Lemon Glass spice and green onions? All looked great at the”Red Plate” restaurant .👍

Try steamed lobster that you dip in olive oil with added lemon, salt, black pepper. Olive oil and soy sauce are also very good. In Maine, they boil/simmer lobster at restaurants, in the same water that the last few days lobsters were cooked in.______________ I like your sense of humor. King crab is too expensive in restaurants. Buy and cook at home.

I’ve had a fresh 4lb lobster in Maine. It was fantastic! Not chewy or tough as you would think. I stayed at the Cosmo a few weeks back and it was so busy that you could not get a reservation anywhere. A busy weekend so it may be that. I wanted to try this place too. Maybe one day if its not crazy busy.

my self and my wife have come to really look forward to your videos---- like your style and your sense of humor!! one question , that my have been asked before,,,and I am not being critical in any way BUT why do you always wear the same shirt? except the one Hawaiian shirt on your cruise

@dannythemedic 5 ай бұрын

why do people only have one wife? that is my reason! sometimes you find a shirt that fits you and your purpose so well, there is no reason to wear any other shirt. this blue is very neurtal and works with alotta pants, which is usually beige. the fabric is very soft, it has a pocket where I need it, and the placket with the buttons makes a great place to clip a microphone wehter for youtube or work medic work. Anbody seeing this shirt will not have anything bad to say about it. it has a collar for some of the more demanding restaurant policies, and it was on SALE at JCP where I bought a ton, I think I ahve over 30 of these, forgive the miuspellings
