a dinner with Robuchon, july 2nd, 2008

So what do I do when I’m not at the restaurants?
Well, for one, I TRY my best to travel. And when I do travel, I generally base 100% of my plans around where I want to eat.
And therefore, here’s a look at the fourteen-course menu that I was lucky enough to get to enjoy at famed Chef Joel Robuchon’s The Mansion at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as I arrived an evening early for a quick three-day bachelor party for a good friend of mine.
Needless to say, it was nearly perfect.
Unfortunately I was all alone, but I think of plenty of worse ways to spend an evening alone!
Yeah, it was very expensive. But for as close to perfect as it could be, I didn’t mind spending the $$$.

Truffle langoustine ravioli with chopped cabbage, Sea urchin, potato purée with a hint of coffee, coral and ginger perfumed tea

Les Petits Pois
