Jeff had never been to Las Vegas before, so when I had a work trip scheduled, I was delighted that he could join me. And since we always try to travel around food experiences, he researched and learned about
é by josé andrés. This is an intimate restaurant within a restaurant (Jaleo) right on the strip in the Cosmopolitan hotel. The dinner was a wonderful display of creativity and for us, having never been to minibar by josé andrés, a fantastic example of molecular gastronomy.
Theatrics aside, the food tasted incredible. And the experience itself had that touch of magic.

The Golden Tickets |
With only 8 seats available for each of the 2 dinner seatings, é is a difficult, but not impossible reservation to make. Exactly one month prior to the date we wanted, we factored in the time difference (they're on PST) and emailed the restaurant (). We got an automated email to confirm that our email was received. Then during the next business day, we got an email saying we have 2 seats available but can only reserve it by completing, signing, and scanning/faxing a form (which included dietary restrictions and credit card number). Once we scanned and emailed the signed form, we got another email confirming our reservation. The tough part was now over. And yes, despite this process, the dinner was well worth it.
