The Palm Las Vegas Executive Chef Kiko Ojeda prides himself on the "Veal Martini," which combines a succulent fusion of flavors resulting in a unique veal dish.

This dish is elegantly laid out on the plate with the thinly pounded veal on the bottom and the ragu of vegetables and marsala wine sauce drizzled on top.


Banana Curry

Bar

Restaurant: Bombay | San Diego

A uncommon take on a Indian traditional dish, Banana Curry takes the classic curry ingredients mixed with sweet notes from the banana.

The common features of a curry medley are a incorporation of complex combinations of spices/herbs that include fresh or dried hot chilies. The mixture of curry spice with the sweetness of the banana will balance out the piquancy and spices.
