| Vegas Bazaar Meat – A Dream I Never Wanted to Wake From

A meat-focused gem by José Andrés offering two tasting menus, but my friend and I came for one thing only: the meat! 🥩✨ 🍖 5J Cinco Jotas Ibérico Ham with Tomato Toast Made from 100% acorn-fed pork, aged for five years. The moment it touched my tongue, the smooth, rich fat began to melt slowly, carrying the signature aroma of aged ham — nutty, slightly salty, and deeply fragrant. It was my first time tasting ham with such complex layers 😭✨ Opening: elegant saltiness Mid-palate: steady nutty & aged notes Finish: a subtle sweetness with a hint of herbs Like a timeless beauty, it left me completely mesmerized. 🥩 Ohmi Wagyu from Shiga, Japan My soul surrendered the second it hit the grill. The fat awakened by the fire, releasing an irresistible aroma. That first bite — creamy, sweet, and incredibly elegant. Tender yet textured, it melted like “meat candy” in my mouth 🍬 Paired with fresh wasabi, the flavor shot straight to the ceiling. So luxurious, it almost felt sinful. 🔥 Rosewood Ribeye After this, I questioned every steak I’d ever eaten before. We visited the kitchen to learn their secret: Slow-roasted to 46°C internally, then flash-seared over open flame, rested for over 10 minutes. Seasoned only with coarse salt. The result? A captivating blend of browned butter + toasted nuts — crisp outside, tender inside, with a deep, lingering beefiness. 🎂 Complimentary Birthday Cake A white chocolate raspberry mousse — OH. MY. GOODNESS. It perfectly balanced the rich, nutty, herbal notes still lingering in my mouth with its light sweetness and gentle acidity. By this point, my friend and I were floating 😇 💸 Then… the bill arrived And just like that — the dream was over. 💰 ~$300+ per person for two girls. Maybe it’s time to come back down to earth… 🥲 #VegasEats #VegasFoodGuide #BazaarMeat #MeatLover #SpecialOccasionDining #WagyuDreams
