ANTHRAX Guitarist: 'What's The Point Of Having Fun And Not Sharing?'

January 16, 2008

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian recently launched a column on SuicideGirls.com called "Scott Ian's Food Coma" where he writes about his food and travel experiences. An excerpt from the latest installment follows:

"I hate that stupid 'What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' slogan. What's the point of having fun and not sharing?

"Yeah, if your trip ends with a dead hooker in your hotel room and a CSI investigation, keep your mouth shut. But too much food, too much booze, poker, David Wells, Jason Giambi, and Mario Batali — that's a weekend to blab about.

"I was supposed to have this column in on Friday night. I figured I'd get into my room at the Hard Rock, write it and then go get some food, have an early night and wake up fresh for the poker tourney. The best laid plans….

"I texted my buddy Joe Bastianich (co-owner of Mario's restaurant empire) to see if he was in Vegas and it turns out he was. They are opening a new spot, Carne Vino, at the new Palazzo tower in the Venetian and were doing a soft opening. I called my buddy Paul Crook and we headed over for dinner.

"The Palazzo is massive. Even by Vegas standards, it's giant. Carne Vino reflects its surroundings. Beautiful bar, super high ceilings. The main dining room as well, open and huge but nothing gets lost. Joe told me there are more dining rooms off of the main room. With their restaurant B&B literally just a few hundred yards away, it's a testament to Mario's power that he can open another place on such a grand scale.
