One of the things about being in business is sometimes you get a free meal and other times you get to pay. Well I sort of paid for this one. Went to Le Cirque with 15 other people. Yes that is correct 15. They put together 3 or 4 different tables and chairs for our rather large group. Seating was tight but this is not a huge place so there is a trade off.
1) Salad. Maine Lobster salad.
2) 2nd course was pate de foie gras
3) 3rd course for me was the duck
4) 4th course was the Kobe beef.
5) Dessert with 15 people there were 15 different desserts. I did not partake in any but they looked fantastic.
What sounds like a bacchanal of food really was not. It was very much a taster menu so each course except for dessert was 2 to three bites of food. Out of all the dishes I had the duck was the best. Best duck I have ever had or will ever eat. It was cooked to perfection and the taste was mouth watering delicious.
The other 14 diners had a wine paring with every course. Since I am a former drinker all I could do was listen to the sommelier tell everyone what a great choice each wine was with the meal. I believe him after all he was from France and it is a French restaurant so if he does not know know who does. This of course is a once in a life time meal and Le Cirque gave all 15 of us a once in a life time meal. Oh yeah after the meal we watched O. Kind of a slow night for us in Las Vegas....
