As an intermezzo between commentaries on the JBF events, ELV thought we’d offer up some tasty snaps of Luciano Pellegrini’s menu from last Friday night’s special dinner. Since we didn’t make it to Valentino in the Venetian that night (as we were enjoying the immensely flavorful and creative stylings of Carlos Buscaglia and Fabio Trabocchi at Fiamma)…one must ask: How could ELV be in two places at once?

My Almost Dinner With Andre
In view of recent posted comments mentioning a “feud” between me and Andre (Would You Like To Buy My Restaurant?) Rochat, ELV thought a KNPR commentary he did some years ago might be illuminating.
And for the record, we tasted every chef’s dish(es) at the Star Chefs Revue, and all were excellent. Some were simply a bit more excellent and finely tuned than others.
Best Food Week Ever – Part Trois
If the James Beard Awards (handed out in May) are the Oscars of America’s food world, then the Michelin Guide’s annual fete is, at the very least, the equivalent of the last night at the Cannes Film Festival. Throw in a little Nicolas Feuillatte Palme d’Or ’97, and you have the makings of quite a bash. Such was the case around the private pool area at the Wynn last night, where there were more French accents in the air than you’ll ever find anywhere but here.
