Last weekend the hubby and I (and our friends from California) ate at Thomas Keller's Bouchon in the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas.
We had a lovely outdoor seat with a great view.
There were plenty of carbs to go around, each one better than the last (which was hard to believe). I only nibbled a bit because I was saving room for my main course:
I ordered something I have been wanting to try for about a year - a Croque Madame. It is a hot ham and cheese sandwich topped with a fried egg and Bechamel sauce.
It was HUGE, and came with a ridiculous pile of fries that I barely made a dent into. Unfortunately the sandwich did not live up to my expectations.
I think it would be better made at home, with less meat, and grilled bread.
Have you ever had a Croque Madame sandwich?
Was there ever a food/dish that you were dying to try for a long time, and when you finally did, you were disappointed?
