Hi, Boys and girls are all fired up.

Hi, everyone, you're listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond. I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb magazine. Today kicks off our new travel mini-series, destination Cherry Bomb. Where are we headed first? We are going to Las Vegas. Each Wednesday this month, I'll be celebrating bright lights on the Vegas culinary scene. Join me to discover

the chefs, mixologists, and innovators, defining the city and taking the food scene to new heights.

If you're doing a Las Vegas miniseries, you absolutely have to start with Susan Fenninger and

Mary Sue Milliken. These trailblazing chefs were the first women to open a restaurant on the

famous Las Vegas strip when their border grill debuted at Mandalay Bay in 1995. A lot has happened

for them in the 29 years since, including the launch of their barbecue Mexicana in Vegas,

lots of philanthropic work, and even a documentary about Susan's life. Susan and Mary Sue have been professional partners for more than 40 years,

so they also talk about the work it takes to have a healthy decades-long relationship.

I love these two so much.

Stay tuned for my chat with Susan Fenninger and Mary Sue Milliken.

The special destination Cherrybaum series is presented by Las Vegas. I visited

Vegas last month and had the best time. I'd been watching all this amazing Las Vegas activity

from afar and having lots of FOMO, new resorts, the sphere, all the great residences,

and most interesting to me, all the new restaurants and incredible female talent, from chefs to restaurateurs

to mixologists and pastry chefs. The city has become such a culinary destination that the 24

world's 50 Best Restaurants Awards is taking place there today. Las Vegas is packed with an amazing

array of restaurants, and you can find the best of the best from around the world right in this one city.

Truly, no matter what you're looking for, from omicasse to steakhouses, dinner and a show, lively poolside cafes or fab food halls,

Las Vegas is fully focused on hospitality and making you and your taste buds happy.

Plus, whatever your food and drink preferences are, there's something for you.

Zero-proof, vegan options, gluten-free, it's all there.
