Las Vegas Restaurants: Popular reality show and cooking competition Top Chef is ever upping the ante for its chef competitors. But last season, the show also upped the caliber of guest judges.
Taking place in Las Vegas, Top Chef featured some of the desert city's finest dining and world-class chefs. The Houston Chronicle recently put together a list of some of the best places and culinary hotshots featured on the show, along with their most famous dishes. Here are just a few of the culinary oases on the list:
Chef Thomas Keller's Bouchon in the Venetian's Venezia Tower serves French bistro fare. Famous menu items include goat cheese salad, duck confit, roasted leg of lamb, croque madame, brandade, rillettes of salmon, steak frites and profiteroles. Not to mention the best bread outside of Paris and an excellent raw bar.
