Bouchon
Chicago Bites Podcast #77

Salmon worthy of a love affair.

Tammy and I went to Las Vegas wondering if it was possible to have a fine dining experience there. We discovered that at Bouchon, it is not only possible it’s an absolute certainty. Thomas Keller’s dishes are simple, flavorful, and impeccably prepared. The food speaks for itself. And what does it say? Game on! Dining in Vegas is worth talking about.
