Oh chef Emeril, I can always count on having a good meal at your restaurants. Delmonico is my favorite steakhouse located within The Palazzo Hotel where I always stay. We were so looking forward to barbecue shrimp with grits for dinner so we walked all the way over from The Venetian cutting short our gambling and skipped eating at one of their restaurants for convenience. The andouille gumbo and clam chowder were fantastic. The barbecue shrimp was disappointing compared to the same dish at his NOLA restaurant in New Orleans. There were no grits and the shrimp was spice-rubbed resulting in a very spicy taste which we didn't expect. Now I adore spicy foods, but was looking forward to the same dish served at NOLA. But the lack of grits really upset me as a southern girl myself. Bring back the original dish with grits! Service was excellent, but we left after finishing our entrees so we could indulge at a Chinatown bakery to soothe our disappointment.
