Flying to Vegas has got to be one of the best flights ever. It’s short and full of anticipation. You get to see the bright lights of the city and start the party right there on the plane. We flew during lunch but with such a short flight we didn’t bother ordering the plane food and instead ate pork jerky, snack mix and of course vodka. Its twelve o’clock somewhere right? That meant that when we checked in, got changed, and checked out the casino is was way past food time. We were all a little hazy and ready to eat but somehow we ended up wandering towards Caesars palace in the mall. The giant alcohol infused slushies caught our eyes but the boys intervened and directed us to the first restaurant they saw.

Max Brenner’s specializes in chocolate and the entire theme of the restaurant is of course chocolate. I probably could have used a chocolate fix, but since I hadn’t eating in a long time, I focused my attention on their food menu. We all ended up getting the Brenner Burger which comes with their waffle fries dusted with chilli and cocoa powder.

The burger itself is huge! I was impressed by just the sheer size of what was sitting in front of me that I didn’t notice right away that it was stuffed with a giant onion ring. That’s probably what gave it its impressive height. I squashed it down, cut in half to reveal a perfectly cooked medium rare burger patty. Now, a lot of people won’t eat medium rare ground beef due to health issues but I was in Vegas. So it was time to live a little. Having the meat slightly pink gave it much more flavour. It was a very delicious burger.

The fries were also incredible. The waffles are able to hold a lot more of the seasonings then a typical straight fry would and they had a nice hint of spice from the chilli. I didn’t taste much cocoa and it didn’t offer any sweetness either so I assume it was a dark chocolate powder. I would have liked to taste more of that but they were still delicious none the less.

 

 

Needless to say I couldn’t finish my burger but the entire group all agreed that the burgers were great and we would definitely eat there again….if there wasn’t so many other options. Can’t eat at the same place twice in Vegas!
