Bouchon

Have you ever tasted rootbeer-flavored cotton candy with homemade ice cream in the middle, making it a rootbeer float cotton candy? Or how about blackberry sorbet and homemade vanilla yogurt push-up pops? Or mint leaf chocolate ice cream sandwich? Or fig almond cream cheese danish? I know the list goes on but there were so many desserts that I can't remember every dish we tasted while lunching at Bouchon in the Venetian Hotel. Oh my! The food was so delish that after I wanted to be a food connoisseur and only eat the best of the best. It's all worth it.
My sister-in-law Stephanie has a little in with Bouchon and knows the head pastry chef Chris, who is incredibly nice and so talented with pastries and desserts. He not only makes them; He invents them. He seriously needs to open his own dessert shop. Since Chris and Steph are good friends and we came to eat, we were entertained with a table full of desserts. After we got a tour of the kitchen, where all the food magic happens. They make everything from scratch. Everything. Even the butter! Very, very scrumptous.

  8. Ok the rootbeer float cotton candy doesn't sound appealing. Maybe because I'm not a cotton candy person. But the kitchen and all the other treats look delish!!!
