F IS FOR “FOODIE,” A PERSON WITH A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN FOOD. Someone who’s always up for trying new places and has a refined but adventurous palate.

And this month at Green Valley Lifestyle, we’re all about feasting with foodies as we just scratch the surface of all the fine eats and drinks Henderson has to offer.

The dog days of summer brought us ice cream, refreshing salads and cocktails enjoyed by the pool as we celebrated the Fourth of July, vacations and abundant sunshine.

But the autumnal days of October bring us chili cooking on the stove, seasonal fruits and veggies and pumpkin spice, well, pretty much everything, as we celebrate football season, some warm-weather relief and shorter days moving toward the end of the year.

Whether you consider yourself a foodie, a gourmet, an epicure or just an average eater; whether you’re into nachos at a game, craft beer at your favorite brewery, a latte from your favorite café or just a pumpkin full of leftover

THAILICIOUS Thailand is known for tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples. You have ultramodern cityscape rises next to quiet canalside communities and the iconic temples of Wat Arun, Wat Pho. Thailicious brings all that and more. After working for 15 years at his uncle’s Thai restaurant, Komal, in Las Vegas, Dutch Sukaneeyouth opened Thailicious in Henderson. Dutch came to the U.S. from Thailand at age 13. He implemented a menu heavy on vegan options. Thailicious, which opened Sept. 7, 2017, is inspired by the country that they take their name from, and it shows.
