  Closing, but maybe not the end: Chapala's family is in talks with a group that could keep its recipes going

  Chapala's Mexican Restaurant · 3331 E Tropicana Ave · East side

  Chapala's Mexican Restaurant on East Tropicana still plans to close when its lease runs out in November, but the Las Vegas Sun reports the Flores family is negotiating with another group in hopes of keeping the restaurant running and mom Maria Flores' recipes on the menu. Nothing is signed, so if the chile verde or the house margaritas (so popular they're kept on tap) are your thing, don't wait on a rescue. The family says it isn't closing over money; the siblings who run it, Jose, David and Edward Flores and Teresa Luevano, are ready to retire after decades in the same Tropicana plaza, where Chapala's has been since 1978. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and there's still no exact last day.

  New Book: Gino Ferraro tells his story, with the recipes behind Ferraro's

  Ferraro's Ristorante · 4480 Paradise Rd, across from Virgin Hotels · East side

  Gino Ferraro, who has spent more than four decades building Ferraro's Ristorante on Paradise Road, has a new book called From Calabria, An American Dream: A Passion Worth Serving. It's part memoir and part cookbook, following him from a poor childhood in Calabria to New York in 1966 and Las Vegas in 1976, where an Italian deli and pizza shop grew into Ferraro's. He doesn't hold back on customers, critics or California wine (a diner who wanted firmer gnocchi was told hard gnocchi are just "sinkers"), and the recipes include the restaurant's osso buco, pasta e fagioli, veal piccata and Pappardelle Mimmo. You can buy it at the restaurant, which can also ship copies, or on Amazon. If you'd rather eat the food, Executive Chef Mimmo Ferraro's next wine dinner is Sun Oct 25 at 6 p.m., four courses paired with La Gerla wines from Montalcino for $195++ a person, and those reservations are final.
