text: Linda S does not wait in long lines for foodexcept today Today was about subjecting my family to driving across town to a long wait inside a smoke filled casino which has surely stunted my daughters growthall in the name of PAN ROAST I would have lived the rest of my life ignorant of such a dish but I became aware of this PAN ROAST in my quest for clam chowder in Las Vegas The name itself brought images of a sort of pot roast and of course this is sooo not even closenIve been to Palace Station for conventions and would not have guessed I would be dragging my family here to eat on a Sunday afternoon Crazy I was hoping the line would not be too bad but we ended up waiting hours to get our food About minutes into waiting I noticed the over sign so we inquired about take out since we had our daughter with us They do offer take out but we would still have to wait They only have about seats at the bar seats plus people ahead of us translated into about an hour to be seatednI was especially curious to see how they prepare the pan roast They use special steam pans and the food is cooked right in front of you The chef was very jovial and interacted with patrons Maybe if he just cooked it would go faster But the customers seemed to enjoy it and the servers were very nicenI am terrible with remembering chronological order but here is my account anyway If I missed anything please feel free to let me know as I would like to attempt this recipe at home nFirst came a scoop of butter then garlic and chopped veges looked like onions celery and red peppers Then I think he added the fresh seafood followed by a ladle of clam juice He let it cook until bubbly Next came the sprinkle of chili powder to taste level and other seasoningpossibly celery seed He let it cook some more Then a splash of brandy and white wine Finally a healthy ladle of a creamy red stock Cooks it some more until hot and bubbling The last step that put a smile on everyone is face was when he tips the pan into the bowl puts a scoop of white rice and serves it up The long wait is over Nom nom nom Be careful not to burn your mouth as it comes out very hotnPAN ROAST is a delicious and creamy seafood stew full of flavor The combo pan roast has shrimp lobster and crabmeat Not at all fishy and very satisfying The broth is rich and so flavorful you will not believe that you finished the entire thingI know I did notnThe CLAM CHOWDER is one of the best I have had Creamy but not heavy Tender pieces of clams and small little chunks of potato not too much Another winning dish herenI am happy to say that I would venture another trip to the Oyster Bar for the PAN ROAST and Clam Chowder
