From 50 Cents to $15: The Vegas Shrimp Cocktail Story
Description
Las Vegas might not have an official dish, but if it did, the shrimp cocktail would be a strong contender. In this episode, we revisit a conversation with co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman, also a culinary historian, to trace the unexpected rise of this chilled seafood classic. They dive into why the shrimp cocktail became a symbol of affordable luxury in Vegas, how a family-owned casino helped make it iconic, and where you can still find it today.
