If You Haven't Tasted Wine in a Reno Restaurant, You're Missing Out

Plutarch undoubtedly would approve of the staggering growth rate of wine consumption in the US. According to an NPR report, “What America Spends on Booze,” wine sales rose from a measly 16.2 percent of total alcohol sales in the early 1980s to 39.7 percent in 2012—just eight percent away from the leading beverage of choice, beer. Wine has also replaced liquor as the second most popular alcohol consumed at home. Wine has indeed become “common to all,” though it may be that craft breweries are dominating the conversation. As such, you shouldn't be surprised if your favorite restaurant in Reno has a large wine selection on the menu. For instance, places like The Grill at Quail Corners has a variety of whites, reds, chardonnays, champagnes, and zin blends from the best brands in Nevada, California, and elsewhere. With a selection such as this, you may find it hard to pick that one wine bottle that suits your tastes, especially if you're trying it with a meal for the first time.

From Italy to a Reno Restaurant, the Pizza Started With the Margherita

"How much has the pizza evolved from simple Neapolitan food fare to part of a gourmet menu in a Reno restaurant? Like stews, the pizza can have just about anything on top; cheese, tomatoes, basil, meat, fish, veggies, and so on. It found its way into America in the early 1900s, eventually becoming one of the most iconic foods in the country. However, the pizza wouldn't have been made possible if it weren't for a simple flavor: the margherita. It all began after the unification of Italy in 1861 when King Umberto I and Queen Margherita paid a visit to the poor town of Naples in 1889. Of the flatbreads they enjoyed, the Queen enjoyed the pizza with soft cheese, tomatoes, and basil the most. Added the fact that the toppings somewhat reminded her of the Italian flag, the flavor was named after her. However, it took a World War for the pizza to take off in America, with the return of American servicemen from Italy."

Is the Shoyu Ramen Burger the Next Food Craze to Sweep the Country?

"The newest food craze is the Shoyu Ramen Burger, which made its debut in the Smorgasburg food fair in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The burger uses fried ramen noodles as buns, stuffed with USDA prime beef patty and topped with shoyu sauce, arugulla and scallions. The technique to keep the buns together is something that its creator, Keizo Shimamoto, isn't keen to share. The new burger's buzz has attracted long lines of buyers paying $150 per piece and is growing viral through social media. Due to its growing popularity, it's possible to see local restaurants selling its own version of ramen burgers and become a best-seller in many a restaurant in Reno. It might not happen right away though since the ramen burger is sold only for the moment. Meanwhile, local foodies in Reno can enjoy other treats that haven't been previously known yet from other restaurants such as Grill At Quail Corners."
