Importing a bar concept to the Vegas Strip is always hard. But doing it from a hospital bed after a paralyzing motorcycle accident would be impossible for most of us. Titan Brands co-founder Scott Frost was still in his hospital bed following his accident when he finalized the deal to bring the Ensenada dive bar Hussong's to Mandalay Place. Frost talks about his life, his accident, and his career in the Las Vegas hospitality industry in the center of today's episode.

Other interviews this week include Jose Andres Group CEO Sam Bakshandehpour, Monzu's Gio Mauro, Richard Femenella of Mae Daly's, cookbook author Alicia Shevetone and cookbook librarian Nichole Beer. And you'll hear about recent meals Gemini and Al had at Case De Juliette, Vesta Coffee, Shanghai Taste, Basilico, Taps & Barrels Beerhouse and Lemontree Café, and a report on the opening of Bazaar Mar.
