Hoping to share the recipe with my Special of the Day readers, I quickly followed up with Debbie Cardenas, manager of Bouchon Bistro Las Vegas who got me in touch with Thomas Keller Restaurant Group Communications Director Michelle Lipa, who graciously sent me the coveted Bacon-Chive Waffle recipe. The return route to our room each afternoon après exploration whisked us past the entrance to the elegantly appointed Bouchon Bistro, so when the opportunity arose to have brunch there with the family on Sunday, we jumped at the chance.Īnd honestly, what could be better than chicken and waffles for the day-after-half-marathon breakfast feast for our daughter Mackenzie? Or for anyone, I guess I would say after having a bite of that amazing waffle, cooked to a crisp golden brown perfection on the outside, while maintaining a palate-pleasing tenderness on the inside and served with Tahitian vanilla bean butter and sauce Chasseur, it is not to be missed if you find yourself fortunate enough to be having brunch at Bouchon Bistro. While the other two Bouchon bakery stands in the Venetian are designed for grab-and-go service, the Bouchon Bakery on the Las Vegas Boulevard side near the Sports Book has a patio that provides the perfect place to linger over a latte and a pastry, while participating in some world class people watching. To be honest, finding Bouchon Bakery was a bit of a scavenger hunt, and we actually stumbled upon two smaller Bouchon Bakery stations before locating the charming flagship bakery with patio seating on the Las Vegas Boulevard.
