This Historic Nevada Buffet Keeps Old-School Favorites Alive With A Modern Twist
Cotton candy shows up on the dessert spread here, right next to gelato and a soft-serve sundae bar. Honestly, that detail alone would have me grabbing my car keys. The savory side is just as busy. A cook can build you a bowl of pho or a plate of Mongolian BBQ, while another station slices prime rib and roast turkey. Friday nights bring snow crab and oysters on the half shell.

Say goodbye to these 8 Reno-Sparks food and drink places
Several restaurants have gone to the great kitchen in the sky — or are ready to cross the pearly gates — as eight food and drink spots in Reno-Sparks join the latest list of closures.

The Salted Caramel Apple Pies At This Reno Bakery Are A Nevada Fall Treat Worth Trying
A whole apple pie gets finished with handmade salted caramel sauce, and it also comes in a 4-inch size called a Cutie Pie. That name alone makes me want one. The apples get roasted with warm spices before they ever meet the crust. Then everything goes into a flaky double crust.

A Nevada Asian Market Combining Homemade Korean Food With Global Groceries
Fresh kimchi made in-house sits a few aisles away from shrimp crackers, shabu meats, and an entire wall of noodles. That combo alone got my attention. I think a grocery run should feel this exciting more often. The kitchen side turns out japchae, kimbap, and a fridge of banchan. Korean...

Reno getting its first Fluffy Fluffy Japanese cafe
Fans of Japanese-style souffle pancakes are about to get an extra bounce in their step as Reno is set to get its first Fluffy Fluffy franchise. An application was filed Wednesday for a tenant improvement “per Fluffy Fluffy cafe standards” in the former Starbucks at 6637 S. Virginia St., in the Commons shopping center south of Neil Road. Tenants include Total Wine, Petsmart and Wrap It Up Mediterranean food. Founded in 2018 in Canada, Fluffy Fluffy has expanded globally since it started franchising in 2020. It has more than 30 locations in North America and some 70 in the United Kingdom, China, France and elsewhere. Fluffy Fluffy is known for a Japanese-style menu inspired by Tokyo cafes and convenience stores or “konbini.” At the top of its offerings are “fuwa fuwa.” The fluffy souffle pancakes are Japan’s taller, airier take on traditional breakfast pancakes. Flavors include creme brulee, matcha tiramisu, nutella banana, and the classic pancake topped with fresh fruit and cream. Also on the menu are Basque-inspired cheesecakes in original, matcha, Earl Gray and mango. Other baked items include roll cakes and macarons. Some Fluffy Fluffy locations also serve “karaage,” or Japanese-style fried chicken, and “croffles.” The cross between
