Las Vegas, Nevada.
Less than 2 hours after arriving home from the Dominican Republic, Mike & I were at Alisha and Brian's house unpacking and repacking, getting ready to meet his mom and sister for a weekend trip to Vegas. We were headed down there for a wedding, but decided to extend the stay to do a little site seeing since his mom and sister had never been there before.
They went shopping while we went to the wedding and then afterwards we went to the Technique Restaurant. It's a restaurant where students attending Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School actually apply what they have learned in a real-life situation. Like their capstone class. It was really fun to visit and I credit my younger sister Allison for this great find. :)
You have to have reservations to eat at Technique Restaurant so we actually called and made our reservation before we left for the Dominican Republic. (So a few weeks in advance.)

| the menu. Short and Sweet |
So for this meal I decided to be the type of person that takes pictures of ALL the food!
Half of the fun of eating here was the presentation - so I hope that you enjoy "food porn" as much as I do. Just looking at the pictures makes me want to go back!

 |
| Sherry's Dessert: Flavored Panna Cotta - recommended by the waitress. |
Our waitress told us that they may be closing Technique Restaurant because Le Cordon Bleu is changing their program. I hope that they don't end up closing it because I think it would be fun to go back again one day. If you go to Vegas, you should definitely check out the Technique Restaurant for one of your meals :)
