text: The Lunch Box is the best place to go if you're looking for great food in the University area around UNLV.  The selections are limited, but the quality on everything is top notch, and the menu changes daily, so you'll never know what you'll see.  The Chef and Owner, Joe, used to work at Bouchon, and is originally from Chicago.  He is a very nice guy, and everything he makes is great!\n\nThe menu consists mostly of Hot Dogs, but the daily specials consist of everything from Korean Tacos to Pork Belly Sandwiches.  The Chicago Dog is my favorite, but he also has several other styles, all served with all-beef, Kosher Hot Dogs.  The Chicago Dog is a served standard Chicago-style, and that's just how I like it.  All beef Hot Dog, chopped onion, fresh tomato, pickle, hot peppers, mustard, ketchup, and celery salt.  Perfect Hot Dog, and no one does it better in Las Vegas than The Lunch Box.  \nThe Chilean Dog has avocado, spicy mayo, sauerkraut (great sauerkraut, by the way), tomato, and other basics on the all-beef Hot Dog.  \nThey also have a Coleslaw Dog, and a Chili-Cheese Dog.  \n\nThe desserts at The Lunch Box are also very good.  In fact, their desserts are better than many of the places dedicated to dessert.  They have house-made Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee that is fantastic.  They also have had House-made Waffle and Ice Cream Sandwich.  I have also seen shaved ice on the dessert menu, as well.  \n\nIf you go to UNLV, work around there, or happen to be in the area, I'd highly suggest stopping by The Lunch Box.  You will support a small business that is focused on quality, and get a great meal at the same time.  It's also a very affordable lunch.  Most of the Hot Dogs are around $3.50, and my whole meal usually is around $5.
