Black Truffles at Guy Savoy; Beer Fest at Big Dog’s

CAESARS PALACE — In November it was white truffles on the menu. February brings black truffles to Restaurant Guy Savoy. The Black Truffle Prestige menu includes the mâche winter salad, followed by roasted turbot on the bone with black truffle and foie-gras with a black truffle bouillon. The fourth course features Savoy’s famous artichoke and black truffle soup served with a toasted mushroom brioche and black truffle butter. For the meat course, young chicken cooked inside an iron cast is served along with basmati rice and a foie gras and black truffle sauce. A lentil and foie gras plate precedes the brie and black truffle cheese course. The menu finishes with a jasmine and chocolate dessert. The eight-course menu is priced at $398 per person and will be available through February. For reservations, call 702-731-7110. [EaterWire]
