Thomas Keller's Bouchon

My Vegas trip this past weekend was absolutely amazing. I had a ton of fun and it was super cool to spend time with my friends from SoCal. Being with everyone made me realize how much I miss them! And how much I just miss being around people in general. Honestly, being from a big family and then living alone now can make me a little sad. But it is nice to finally have my own space!

Anyways, the restaurant is cute inside but kind of loud. We went for brunch at around 12pm and only waited 5 minutes. Tuong ordered a salmon dish. I think he was surprised with his smoked salmon. He was expecting a fillet like baked salmon or something. But I think this is the kind that you'd typically put on bagels. I ordered the chicken and waffles which were absolutely delicious. The chicken was nice and juicy. The waffles were light, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They had bacon bits and chives in them which upped the flavor. Along with some sweet maple syrup, it was a good mix of sweet and salty.

However, I didn't like the beignets. They were way to oily and hard. I feel like they were overcooked. The outside was super crunchy! And they just didn't taste good even when they were covered in Nutella.
