Food Fridays - Las Vegas
The afternoons in Vegas can be a hot pavement slog, so we decided to enjoy the air-conditioning and cheaper brunch pricing ($28 vs $42 for dinner) at the Wicked Spoon buffet in the Cosmopolitan hotel. The big thing here is small morsels of gourmet food. It definitely wasn't the cheapest meal we had in Vegas (that accolade goes to Ellis Island Casino and their "secret" $7.99 steak and eggs breakfast), but there were some unique dishes and desserts that made it a fun and way-to-filling dining experience.
Genoa salami and Campanella pasta
Creamed kale with pine nut gremolata
Vietnamese ox-tail soup
Cumin zucchini caviar and parmesan
Deep fried frogs legs
Squid ink shrimp pasta
Beef bone marrow
A mountain of snow crab legs and a bucket of cocktail sauce
Fresh gelato in cool flavours such as Thai tea and coffee white chocolate
Not a fan of gelato (seriously, is there anyone who isn't)? There are plenty of cakes, cookies, and squares.
Chocolate pudding with a real silver flake on top
Or, for the more expensive taste buds, mango pudding topped with gold leaf
