Episode Details

As the holidays bring more guests to the city, we keep visitors in the loop on a Vegas food icon: the shrimp cocktail. Where did it come from, why’s it called a “cocktail,” and can you still find a good 99-center anywhere in town? Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman—an award-winning culinary historian—break down the history of the shrimp cocktail, its surprising Cajun and Jewish origins, and the story behind that special red sauce.
