Oh, This Was No Buffet Scene


If  you've been to Vegas recently you'll notice the large signs promising a prime rib and lobster feast for $19.99 are VERY few and far between. So with the departure of such a "fine food" combination - what possibly could have filled such a void? Well,  many new dining options many of them boasting famous chefs and some sharing the same name and concept of sister establishments back east. 

So, I was recently able to see through the clutter of that scene and walked down the halls of the Wynn to find a country club! This is where we had a most delicious brunch. Starting with watermelon gazpacho with crab and avocado. Then, followed by french toast bread pudding(must note: a thick slice of apple smoked bacon on top.) I probably would have cooked the bacon a little less but it did have a great smoky taste. As if that wasn't enough food, we ordered something savory-or as I prefer to say salty-  poached eggs with barbequed smoked pork (must note: there was a bacon cheese muffin under the egg and charred green chile hollandaise sauce on top and accented with a grilled jalapeno.

 I think I smiled every time I took a bite of each dish. I know I cut every bite into about five pieces, so the meal lasted for as long as possible.

YUM!

Bravo, nicely written. Not sure you need that class. Love it.

The watermelon gazpacho sounds refreshing.

Hope you had fun in Vegas.
