On today’s episode of Eat. Talk. Repeat.

🏔️ Special on-site episode from Viking Mikes Alpine Yurt Bar! A cozy little getaway from the Vegas heat — no flight, no resort fees.

☕ We’re joined by Jerad Howard of Vesta Coffee (our Arts District neighbor) breaking down the inspiration behind the space and what makes this concept hit different.

🍜 Plus, Chef Brian Coughlin from local—and ETR—favorite Le Thai stops by to talk influences, collaboration, and why comfort food always wins.

🔥 We do a deep dive into what inspired the Alpine Yurt Bar, the behind-the-scenes details you won’t catch on Instagram, and the special treats you absolutely need to order.

🍽️ Cold weather vibes, warm food, big flavors, and a lot of strong opinions — exactly how we like it.
