A little bit of French food in Vegas

I must be a poser since the first time I've had souffle was August 2010, and apparently souffle is a prerequisite to becoming a dessertist.  Anyho, my verdict: souffle ain't all that!  I went to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant for dinner, and at the end of dinner (which wasn't all that), I was presented with some hard dessert choices: the oh so Parisian souffle, or some good ole American apple pie.  When in Paris, order souffle, right?

I ordered the Pistachio souffle (because regular chocolate souffle wasn't French enough), and I was sorely disappointed.  The souffle came out pretty, and then the waiter drizzled some souffle jus on top, to make it even prettier.  But that's where it ends.  It tasted like bland, wet, bread with a hint of pistachio. 


My friend's apple pie however, was the best apple pie ever.  It wasn't your traditional apple pie with way too much overly sweet filling.  It was light, the crust was delicious, and everything just melted in your mouth!  So the lesson I learned was, "don't let peer pressure make you order souffle".  Or any other cliche type saying like that.
