Just got back from LV. Saw your show on Vegas a few months back and always wanted to stop by and try out bouchons since you seemed to like it. They certainly cooked differently for you than us. I had a crab omelet that looked like a military MRE. The service people were more concerned that I knew they were cool and oooo so busy. 2 dried out omelets no fruit no potatoes 2 orange juice and 2 coffees $50 bucks! Are they nuts! This place so sucks! Boy they must have had to actually work when they knew you were there!

Hey, don't blame Mr. Bourdain for the bad, expensive meal. I think it goes without saying that when a restaurant serves THE Anthony Bourdain they cook their heads off to insure a good review. If you're looking for a REAL breakfast, try any Greek-owned family style restaurant in the Chicago area and suburbs. Your breakfast will be served on a dinner plate the size of a serving tray, and it'll come with freshly cooked eggs your way, hash browns (the real deal, not frozen), sausage or bacon and toast. In addition to that, you can probably get a cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice and coffee with that for under $10. Nobody will hound to you finish early, your coffee cup will be refilled without asking every 15 minutes and it's likely the place is open 24/7.

Never had breakfast there. My dinner was superb.
Wrong? Always possible.
Lied? Uh uh...

Tony, I'm with you - our dinner there was fantastic. Boudin blanc with a heavenly potato puree and prunes. Out of sight. Thank you for putting it on the show!

actually, I loved my dinner meal at Bouchon and while I was told by many that they had the best brunch in Las Vegas, kindly remember what Tony told us about brunching in Kitchen Confidential! forewarned is forearmed!!

chill out blondie!
how dare you call Tony a liar!
you might as well call Keller a bad chef!
i never had a bad meal at Bouchon.
try the one in Yountville at dinner and check your attitude at the door!

Hey guys, I am a big Bouchon fan and have worshipped at the French Laundry as well. Love them both, but that doesn't mean you can't get a bad meal. The more you spread the 'franchise' the thinner it gets. I don't care if Keller himself is cooking, a bad omelet is just that. That said, just because you see it on TV, doesn't mean it's for you. Reasearch online and read the menus before you go. Better yet, get a rec from a friend you trust.

Hey why does everyone gotta rag on Tony? Oh wait it's the internet, it always brings out the trolls, or the folks who have one bad experience and need to whine..oh well..it must be the raison de etre from Dogfish Head Brewery speaking..
