In this episode of Vegas Veteran Voices, we step behind the scenes of viral food content creation in Las Vegas with Antonio from Antonio Loves Wings.

Shot on location at My Garage Kitchen, one of Vegas' hidden gems for next-level wings, this episode is part restaurant review, part creator crash course. Antonio, a military veteran turned food content creator, teaches me the ropes of filming food that doesn't just look good — it sells. We talk angles, lighting, b-roll secrets, and what makes food content blow up on TikTok and Instagram.

But this isn't just about crispy chicken — it's about the hustle. Antonio opens up about his family's journey from cooking out of their garage to launching a full restaurant in Centennial, Las Vegas. It's a story of resilience, creativity, & community.

We cover everything from:

How to film viral food content with your phone

Tips for slow-motion wing tosses & saucy closeups

Why Vegas food culture is unlike anywhere else

Antonio's journey from the military to restaurant owner & influencer

What makes My Garage Kitchen the go-to for wings in Las Vegas

In this episode of Vegas Veteran Voices, we sit down with Sarah — Army medic, E6, and co-founder of Effin Eggs, the loudest, cheesiest brunch spot in Las Vegas.

She didn't just build a restaurant. She created a vibe. From her roots in Kansas to her Reserve service in the Army as a Medic, to flipping burritos and cinnamon rolls in a place with Alice in Wonderland murals and espresso-fueled hustle — this is veteran grit, scrambled with passion.

We talk about her military journey, mental health, food as therapy, and how she turned a joke about opening a restaurant into a full-blown breakfast empire.

Location: Effin Eggs — 4555 S Fort Apache Rd #122, Las Vegas, NV 89147

What happens when a Navy and Army veteran hits rock bottom, then builds something incredible from the ground up, literally in his own backyard? Meet Anthony Rivera, the founder of Pizza Neo, a veteran-owned pizzeria in Las Vegas that went viral for all the right reasons. Brought to by www.Realtyvet.com

In this episode, we dive deep into Anthony's journey: from serving in two military branches to battling addiction, rebuilding his life through homeownership with a VA loan, and launching Pizza Neo with nothing but a dough recipe and a dream.

Featured on FOX5 Vegas and supported by a $2,000 donation from Veterans Benefits Guide (an organization that helps veterans professionally navigate the VA claims process), this is more than a story about pizza, it's about purpose, community, and second chances.
