There are burger bars and there is Hubert Keller's Burger Bar Las Vegas. This is the Hubert Keller whose Fleur de Lys is among the notable fine dining restaurants in San Francisco. Each of this unique eatery's booths has a small TV featuring silent movies, blurbs about the restaurant and, upon request, sports events. The small open kitchen turns out an array of burgers with an amazing selection of toppings. There are Black Angus beef, Kobe beef, Colorado lamb, turkey and vegetarian burgers and even game options such as buffalo. Traditional topping choices plus imaginative options include pesto or cranberry sauce, and pan-seared foie gras and black truffles. Special burgers served with skinny fries include the surf 'n' turf Black Angus layered with a grilled half lobster and grilled green asparagus on a plain bun. The Burger Bar's pièce de résistance is the very pricey Rossini burger created with Kobe beef, sautéed foie gras, shaved truffles and Madeira sauce on an onion bun. Worth the calorie splurge are desserts such as the burger-shaped chocolate ganache with a slice of passion fruit gel (stand-in for a tomato slice) on a warm burger bun-shaped doughnut. Shakes and floats plus an extensive selection of bottled and draft beers, and a small but first-rate wine list, nicely complement the cuisine. |
