I was looking at the
Bouchon Las Vegas menu.
http://www.frenchlaundry.com/bouchonLV/BOLVmenu1205.pdf
I've heard that prices of dinners at Las Vegas has gone up tremendously.
But when I look at the price there at Bouchon LV, I don't think it is THAT
outrageous. With the exception of pommes frittes & steak at $34.50, the rest
of the dinners are below $30; this is in line with other good restaurants
(IMO).

We were discussing this at breakfast this a.m. and was wondering who is the
chef at Thomas Keller's Bouchon LV, and at Bouchon near the French Laundry.
Does he run back and forth between --
Does Batali run between his restaurants.

Just curious if anyone knows.
The titles must mean something, too.
