I'm a Girl Too!: An Amazing Meal

My husband and I took a short holiday. He'd been working so hard for the past year and hadn't been able to take any time off. He even missed our family reunion in August this year. So he booked us a flight to Vegas. Sin city! He wanted to try eating at Jose Andres e restaurant. They only do 2 sittings a night and only 8 people at each sitting. So he signed up with the hopes of getting 2 of the lottery tickets that they release. Needless to say we did get 2 of the last seats on a Thursday night at 8. The last 2 seats! Yay!

Our golden tickets

First First Class trip!

Waiting to enjoy our tasting menu

Warm towel to wipe our hands

This was amazingly fresh tasting
It was very light and tart

Cotton Candy 2.0
This was amazing! Cotton candy
filled with foie gras and corn nuts!
The combination was so interesting!
Rich and salty sweet

We paired our meal with wine from
Spain and this bubbly was so good!
The bottle was so cool!

Beet Kini
The wafer was made from beets
it was filled with a mild soft
Manchego cheese.

I cannot remember everything in this
It was on a phyllo dough type of wafer
covered with eggplant puree, red pepper
and anchovy filet

This was some doughy goodness
filled with goat cheese
A grown up grilled cheese sandwich

Filling the dome with smoke

Oh yes! Oysters 2 ways

One smoked and one served on
a crispy chicken skin with
thyme foam on top.
You can't even imagine how
good this was!

Marinated shark deep fried with
garlic aioli.
The shark is raised not wild caught
and this is upscale for sure!

Smoked oysters! Not like the
canned ones I used to eat
for sure!!

Cava Sangria
I wish my picture did this dish justice!
the sangria is encased in a thin membrane.
It bursts in your mouth leaving you wanting more!!
This was the most creative dish. I really can't stop
thinking about it!

A delicate broth with Fava bean
that was pureed and poached in broth
Different oils were dropped in to add
little bursts of flavor

Cod jowls in a herbed sauce.
I can't remember whether it was
parsley or basil now.

Sea Cucumber filled with
pork

Mushrooms en Papillote

Chanterelle Mushrooms smoked in a
plastic bag with a cream sauce.
So delicate and my favorite
mushroom eva!

Oh my! So amazing!

Served with a chili that was dehydrated
into a chip! I loved these chips!
I want them now!
Of course the meat just melted in my mouth.
Husband had to finish it for me tho!
Getting so full at this point.

This was a coffee & rum drink
being prepared. They fire it up
and let it burn for almost 20 minutes!

How beautiful is this?

Torta Pascualete with Cotton Candy
So creamy and light

Crema Catalana Egg

After eight timbal
Delicate chocolate filled with
a liquid chocolate on a bed
of chocolate "rocks"

Boxed up!

That's right! A gold
chocolate rock! His version
of
Ferrero Rocher

Have no idea what this was!
I ate the whole thing

The final desert
From left to right
white chocolate thingy
jelly thingy
a small wafer of chocolate that fizzed in my mouth
(If I was religious I would have felt like I was getting the sacrament)
marshmallow thingy!
