| - Stayed at the Venetian over the weekend, fell in love with Bouchon bakery (HELLO, carrot cake cookie) next to our rooms, and then continued to hop on over to the 10th floor to taste regular Bouchon's Chicken & Waffles everyone raved about for brunch.
The chicken itself was roasted, not fried, and one of the softest chicken I've had the pleasure to sink my teeth into. The waffles had chopped chives in the waffle batter, with chopped up bacon sprinkled on the top. The waffles were tangier than usual, and it was a pretty decent pairing with the chicken.
Will I ever fully absorb the concept of how these two things pair? Doubt it. -_-
The dish comes with sauce chasseur (kind of like a brown gravy/glaze), the waitress suggested that we dip our frites in there. You have to and it's a must, there are bacon bits with that salty braised chicken grease roux. Awesome.
Also took bites of what I wanted more of:
Croque Madam - good but very very heavy

Open-faced Tuna Sandwich - loved that they used capers

Definitely not a bad place for brunch, I will probably be back to explore other options.
BTW, their macarons are subpar (hitting 2 reviews in 1, hiy-ah!)
