Fleur, Mandaly Bay, Las Vegas

[Renaissance Man]

Well I went back down to Vegas again few months ago for more production on Secrets of the Chef. There are other picks I’ll share of the production but first I thought you might like a peak at one of the top ten meals I’ve had in my life. This dinner was at Chef Hubert’s restaurant in Mandalay Bay. http://www.mandalaybay.com/dining/fleur.aspx

no pic, it went to fast.

Course the second

satlantic halibut cheeks wild mushroom & parsnip stew 12$

skirt steak chimmichurri, roasted fingerling, crème fraiche 15$


Course the third

lasagna “verrine” pork, beef, fontina, mozzarella, reggiano 10$


onion soup veloutte, truffle oil 6$


I attempted a recreation of this because it was just so good. It came out very well I just didn’t have the truffel oil but that didn’t hinder it to much. It’s very easy. Sauté half a fine diced sweet onion with a little salt until well caramelized, add some fesh chopped garlic towards the end of the sauté, add a pint of heavy cream and a little white pepper, warm through, don’t boil. Pour into a blender and whiz. Strain it if you want, I like the little onion bits.
