Last week I was walking to my car in the parking lot at Red Rock Casino and overheard this conversation between a young girl and (what I presumed to be) her Aunt or possibly Grandmother.
Young Girl -- "Can I have, umm . . . some SORBET?!"
Aunt -- "You can have anything you want!"
Wow! I thought that pretty much summed up the new modern buffet experience, the generosity of Aunts (and/or Grandmothers) and the wisdom of youth. The little lady chooses -- Sorbet! Not softserve, or icecream, or even gelato -- which I believe is what Red Rock is known for -- but a chic and sensible Sorbet.
It reminded me of the wonderful meals on the town I had with my grandmother, where whole new worlds of dining were opened up to me. I'll never forget my first Shirley Temple, or my first finger bowl.

Those were the days . . .
I only hope the discriminating little lass got her "sorbet" in the buffet, I'm guessing a fruity gelato would pass in a pinch.
