If Chef Marc's were any better it would be on the front lines entertaining the troops, kicking taliban ass, while rebuilding local infrastructure and giving local children education. But wait it doesnt stop there. It would also come home a glorified war hero and help rebuild the American Economy and finally just FINALLY get rid of all today's shitty ass music and possibly resurrect Tupac...
Anyway i never been here before but often hear the raves of Chef Marc and how totally awesome is it. Lately i've been hankering for some good Italian food. So i set up a UYE http://www.yelp.com/biz/tien-hosted-a-uye-uye-at-parma-by-chef-marc-las-vegas
10 people all going for tasting menus with some opting for wine paring. I'm not exactly a wine kinda guy so just food for me. Tho their italian beers were quite nice.
Cant exactly remember what we all ate but it was good. Damn good. If i wore panties they'd be dropped by the 3rd course. Oh and holy crap the bread is NICE!!! with the garlic butter on top and the balsamic vinegar and olive oil...sooooo nice
So going off of memory lets see what we had
1 - Conch Salad
- Very good texture, soft and not rubbery and oh so tender. Flavor was a little off for me but it opted a good opportunity to use the "real" salt they offered. Balanced quite nicely after that
2 - Escargot (our special diet friends who opted not to have escargot got some kind of ravioli)
- Two per person served on a slice of bread drenched in garlic butter with some herbs. Not exactly the freshest snails available but they did their best with what they had and it was no less then absolutely delicious
3 - Fried Brussels sprouts with some kind of spicy prawn
- I've only eaten brussel sprouts on a handful of occasions. These were halfed then fried to give them a nice flavor. The spicy prawns...wow just wow these were nice and plump and had a mild rising heat to them. Again quite nice
4 - Pasta with wild mushrooms in some kinda sauce with ham in it - Pappardelle Wild Mushroom
- LoL at my naming of items. This was the highlight of my dinner. The absolute best thing in my opinion. Pretty sure it was fresh pasta seeing as i've never seen noodle that big only on TV. The sauce they whipped up to bind the pork and mushrooms together with the noodles...genius...Ask Christie O i kept trying to steal her togo box the entire night.
5 - Some kind of fish... - Wild Snapper Livornese
- Some kind of fish and a portion of a barley like grain served with a tomato based sauce and a few strips of broccolini.
6 - Dessert - Turamisu and Chocolate Mousse Cake
- Holy crap the little square of Tiramisu was orgasmic. The other chocolate cake thingie was good but holy hell the tiramisu...
I have finally discovered Chef Marc's...Now they will have to discover a way to keep me away.
