THROWDOWN! Bobby Flay's Amalfi vs. Giada De Laurentis' Namesake—A Vegas Italian Restaurant Battle!

For our recent 10-day family trip to Las Vegas, we're mixing up our restaurant review format and pitting 2 Iron Chefs against one another in an Italian restaurant battle royale!

Bobby Flay (of @Beat Bobby Flay ) and Giada De Laurentiis ( of @Giadzy by Giada De Laurentiis ) have a new show on Discovery+ called Bobby and Giada In Italy and of course we're huge fans. And since Bobby revamped his @Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel and Casino Mesa Grill during the COVID shutdown and just opened it back up as Amalfi, we decided to set up our own little Vegas Strip Italian Restaurant Throwdown!

We both love Bobby, but Erin predicted that Amalfi would be the best Italian on the Las Vegas strip. Phil said that while Bobby's a phenomenal chef, there's no way he can out Italian Giada, whose namesake restaurant happens to be right across the street. So we decided to put our money where our mouths are, fly the family to Vegas, and try both restaurants to see which one comes out on top!

Of course a friendly wager was warranted, so we agreed that if Amalfi won, Phil would fly the family to Italy next month, but if Giada won, Erin would fly the family to the Cannes Yacht Show in the French Riviera next month.

So who wins? Watch and see (and be sure to catch our own little throwdown at the end of the episode!)...

ABOUT US.

We’re the Lockwoods: a family with 3 kids, 5 careers, and endless passion for adventure. Two years ago, we decided it was time for Phil's ad agency to abandon the in-person, 5-day workweek. So they 86’d the office and work hours, allowing our own family to start traveling almost constantly. We now work, school, and explore in a different place every week—from our own mountain and beach homes to exotic villas, resorts, and yachts around the world. As we experience and support diverse cultures, we hope to inspire more families to design a life of freedom and adventure.

Because there’s a new American Dream. It’s one that’s void of templated expectations, templated career paths, templated education, templated families, templated homes, and templated lives. Freedom is no longer an American tagline—it’s just the new, global way of life.

Every day that you spend doing something that doesn’t fulfill you to your core, you’re living your life on pause. You’re deferring genuine family time with no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow or a someday. Some people follow that mentality their entire lives. We’ve chosen to never live that way again.

We appreciate you following our journey. The more our channel grows, the more time we can spend traveling to more locations, contributing to these cultures, highlighting local businesses, and sharing inspiring stories from these communities. So please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing so that you can stick with us for the long haul.
