Part Rolling Restaurant, Part Yoga Retreat
The early system involved an army of employees coming to the Rio armed with a big load of meals several times a day. They were tough to miss.
It became so popular the Rio couldn't ignore it any longer. It threatened to put a stop to it or charge All-American Dave a per-meal surcharge in 2012.
“I remember the day. We were lined up in the hallway with all our bags laid out,” Swanson recalled. “The director of catering for Caesars came up and said ‘What are you doing?!’”
“I started working with the Rio and we’ve formed a really good relationship.”
The two settled their differences and Dave now parks a food truck outside the back door of the Amazon Room for easy access.
But those food runners are still around for bonus advertising.
This isn’t your standard food truck set up for All-American Dave; it's part rolling restaurant, part fitness center with a chin-up bar, basketball hoop and the occasional yoga stretch.
The meal plan is a little steep for the average poker reporter but customers swear it’s worth every penny. If you have the plan, you’re just a quick Tweet away from a healthy alternative to the Poker Kitchen.
