“Cake Boss” star and restaurateur Buddy Valastro has perked up the food offerings at Linq with two new fast-casual winners: Boss Cafe and Buddy V’s Jersey Eats.<\/p>\n

Go soon, go hungry, go often.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: The fresh “mozz” at Boss Cafe is mady by none other than Buddy Valastro’s father-in-law.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lots of Vegas visitors are familiar with Valastro’s Italian restaurant at Venetian, Buddy V’s. He branched out with Pizza Cake at Harrah’s.<\/p>\n

Now, the reality star is doubling up on the deliciousness (and carbs) at his new joints.<\/p>\n

Boss Cake takes the place of Nook Cafe (there’s still a Nook Express near the casino cage), and Buddy V’s Jersey Eats is a takeover of a food truck that was previously Linq Sandwich Co. (and before that, Sticky Chicken).<\/p>\n

First up, Boss Cafe.<\/p>\n

The Nook’s out, the Boss is in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Boss Cafe sits in what was once a no-man’s land at Linq (and before that, Quad, before that Imperial Palace). But Linq recently added a new set of elevators nearby, and foot traffic is booming.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is unassuming, and the first thing you see is the “Mozz Bar.” There, mozzarella cheese is made fresh several times a day.<\/p>\n

Anything “bar” is cool with us, even if curd is involved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Part art, part science, the mozzarella at Boss Cafe is made fresh daily by the aforementioned Mauro Belgiovine, a member of Buddy V’s own “famiglia.”<\/p>\n

We caught Belgiovine in the middle of making a batch of “mozz” (pronounced “mutz”), and learned he’s been making mozzarella for 40 years⁠—or about the age of the joke we tell in the following video.<\/p>\n
