| - How can a place give two dishes, one so full of flavor and the other totally bland ?
Let me say straight off, I really wish there was a Grand Lux somewhere other than the Venetian or the Palazzo, the casinos themselves are very nice, spotlessly clean, but the management insists on adding over powering fragrances to the AC supply, I know I am not the only one to find this annoying, but in my case at the minimum I am getting a bad headache from it.
Anyways, the powers that be (wife) decided she wanted to pit the grilled cheese and short rib sandwich we had just tried at Fat Choy against the offering at Grand Lux.
For me it is a no brainer, the Asian Nachos all the way.
Order in quickly, food out quickly, the Asian Nachos, superb as ever (the only reason I brave the smell of this casino is for this dish, yes they are that good), the grilled cheese.
Well totally tasteless, whoever figured it would be a good idea to use swiss cheese, please make them eat 20 of these things and then tell me it's good.
The short rib could have been the saviour, but it seemed to me that it had be have been flavored in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and a few trace bits thrown in for taste, well ok it's air..The meat had no taste either.
So on one hand you have a great dish (the nachos), on the other a lousy dish (the sandwich).
Oh well, live and learn, the service was good, my drink refilled quickly.
