Famous Foods Street Eats – Streetbird, Blood Bros BBQ – Resorts World Las Vegas NV

Resorts World on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada offers 40 choices of food and beverage restaurants. They have a large food court called Famous Foods Street Eats. A little taste of Famous Restaurants from all over the world might be found there. Not all but many of the foods swing Asian. I was all set to try dumplings from one place but then I found something that I haven’t seen offered anywhere else.

I see Blood Bros BBQ offers shichimi togarashi BBQ turkey breast. I want that! Why shouldn’t I want to try a multi award wining 2021 TOP 50 NY Times listed restaurant.

No order at the counter here. It’s modern and cashless so you have to order like this.

We ordered and soon we got this.

The flavors are really great together and the sauce is delicious too but unfortunately the turkey is mighty dry and the white bread is stale. (BAH!) We didn’t eat much………Maybe you might hit them on a better day?

I saw Streetbird by multi award winning chef Marcus Samuelson so I wanted to go there.

We tried M’s Fried Chicken Thigh and the Buffalo Cauliflower.

It was larger portions than we were expecting. The cauliflower is tasty, fried nice and not too spicy. It came with a ranch type of dressing on the side. The chicken was cooked to perfection and is tasty and mildly spicy. It’s almost like Nashville style but it is different….It seems like we got the same exact stale white bread with it that we got from the Blood Bros BBQ? This also came with house made pickles.

This was a little taste of Blood Bros BBQ and Streetbird from Famous Foods Street Eats at Resorts World

2022 Trip to L’ATELIER de Joel Robuchon – Las Vegas Nevada

L’ATELIER de Joel Robuchon is a high end multi award winning small plate French Restaurant located in the MGM Grand on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. It’s from the late chef and most award wining chef of the century Joel Robuchon.

Most of us mere mortals sit at the counter and watch the action. A few people get to sit at the few tables on the side. Maybe they are high rollers? Or maybe they gave “B” jobs to get a table?

Anyways-

They started us off with a FORKING Amazing amuse bouche. It was some sort of apple gelee, finger limes, and I think some sort of smoked citrus cream? It was a mind-blowing highlight of the evening.

Another highlight is always the incredible bread basket with French Butter.

Baguettes, croissants, milk breads…….All great. The croissants really stand out…… the very best that I ever had anywhere..made with that French butter that you can clearly taste in them along with all the amazing layers of the croissant …..

The menus and prices did differ from my last visit. There are less choices and less Tonight we went a la cart instead of the tasting menu because one round of the tasting menu was not for me.

I started off with the cauliflower salad called Les Choux.

It’s cooked cauliflower with micro vegetables, crunchy peanut tuiles with a sweet and sour vinaigrette. A nice light start……..

My husband started with the Iberico ham.

In case you didn’t know this is very special ham from black footed pigs that were kissed by Jesus and only eat acorns. It’s the finest ham. They serve it with bruschetta.

For dinner my husband went with the La Bavette (seared skirt steak, onions and crispy shallots).

It taste beefy with crispy shallots going crunch, crunch, crunch. It was served with the famous buttery whipped Robuchon Potatoes.

For dinner I tried the Roasted Cod (Le Cabillaud) with grilled shiitakes, and soybeans in a saffron broth. It came with the famously RICH Robuchon Potatoes.

It really is very good…but….is the smallest dinner that I have ever had here….and I have been coming here for over TEN YEARS…..

See it’s more of a tasting. The cod is only slightly bigger than a quarter.

I know small plates is very small but this is extra tiny more like a tasting….See even ALL the appetizers that I’ve have prior to this visit are much more filling than this dinner was. (this is only some of the appetizers I’ve had here)

SEE!

Salmon Carpacchio – appetizer

Beef Cheek – appetizer

Kampachi belly with eggplant compote in cilantro sauce – appetizer

smoked salmon potato waffle with dill cream cheese – appetizer

Red snapper carpaccio with lemon gelee and turmeric vinaigrette – appetizer

All the appetizers that we’ve tried here were all more substantial than the dinner I was served tonight….

Anyways

Roasted cod entree

I had room for dessert so we shared the les tartes.

The top one taste like a chocolate candy bar, We both really enjoyed the lemon meringue, Pumpkin was lightly spiced, my husband’s favorite was the cinnamon cream pie.

Then they usually surprise you with another dessert. Tonight was blackberry macarons.

That was my 2022 trip to L’ATELIER de Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand Las Vegas Nevada.

Ocean One Bar & Grill – Great Value CHEAP Food on Las Vegas NV Strip***UPDATE CLOSED AND EXPECTED TO RELOCATE

****UPDATE CLOSED AND EXPECTED TO RELOCATE****Ocean One Bar & Grill is a full service restaurant and bar located in the Miracle Mile Shops on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. They offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks at rock bottom astonishingly low prices and are better and cheaper than fast food. Breakfast starts at $5.99 and the whole lunch menu is only $5.99 EACH! Dinner isn’t much more. And drinks….

I tried a glass of wine and GOT THREE of these for $12. It’s not the finest wine but it’s drinkable.

This is even filled more than most places would fill

They have a patio that wraps around the restaurant, lots of inside and bar seating.

half of the patio….It continues down past the corner

One day we tried breakfast. My husband went with the $8.99 Spanish Omelette with added on sausage $2.50.

He was happy with it.

I tried the $9.99 smoked salmon platter.

The smoked salmon platter is very large. I think that it is nice that it comes with fresh fruit. The salmon is good, it comes with a slice of Philadelphia cream cheese, capers, red onion mixed greens and a toasted west coast style bagel.

We have tried a lunch here.

We tried the wings on the lunch menu….I wasn’t expecting this much food or it to be as good as it was.

Wings $5.99

I also had a $5.99 Salad.

Not bad for $5.99….Sometimes I get $14. salads that aren’t as good.

My husband got a HOUSE MADE pasta dish for $5.99.

Not bad for $5.99……….

Tried dinner here.

I got the Wild Island Salmon Salad $11.99. It’s made of greens, marinated onions, pistachios, supreme oranges, and house made mango vinaigrette.

I am very surprised on how well they prepared the salmon. It’s as moist as a fully cooked salmon can be. Even the oranges are very fresh tasting like they were just picked. It’s a great salad for only $11.99. A lot of salmon salads are very expensive these days. They often run twenty dollars and up these days. I was somewhere and I remember seeing a salmon salad for $30.

My husband tried the 1/2 pound burger and asked for it to be medium rare $6.99. He added on extra cheese ($1.00 + sautéed onions .50 cents) With the burger you have a choice of fries or rice and beans.

The burger DID COME OUT MEDIUM/RARE! They don’t use the best buns but the actual burger came out very flavorful and juicy.

I haven’t tried dessert yet here but they do look delicious!
