Was it a mistake to try and review this meal during a football game?

In this episode we head to Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas to put their food to the test, while trying to actually review the food like we always do, only with a football game going on around us!

And let’s just say… Flanker can get LOUD during sporting events!

With big screens, a huge LED viewing wall, cheering fans, and the energy of a real game-day crowd, concentrating on the food can become a challenge of its own.

Flanker is located at Mandalay Bay, just steps from the walkway to Allegiant Stadium, making it a natural stop for sports fans before or after a game.

But how did the food hold up? We tried the following menu items:

???? The Beer
???? Crispy Korean Gochujang Wings
???? The Onion Rings
???? Wagyu Bacon Smashburger Touchdown Style
???? Fish & Chips

But the biggest question is:

WAS IT A MISTAKE TO TRY AND REVIEW THIS MEAL USING A FOOTBALL GAME?

Watch the video and find out whether we were able to focus on the food… or whether the crowd, cheers, big plays and game-day noise completely took over!

And my apologies in advance for the loudness of the background noise during the review segments. This video is LONG overdue (there's Christmas decorations in the background) but I also didn't know what to do with it because the raw audio was SO LOUD and while I did my best to make some magic and finally put this video together, I do hope it wasn't too rowdy.

If you're searching for the best sports bars in Las Vegas, Las Vegas sports bars near Allegiant Stadium, Mandalay Bay restaurants, where to watch football in Las Vegas, or game-day food in Las Vegas, then this review is for you.
