Bobby Flay's Double-Down at Mohegan
It seems like just yesterday we were telling you about Bobby Flay's
burger emporium making its Mohegan Sun debut.
But sometimes when prepping for a
Casino Royale-esque poker session, all you can really think about
is settling into a nice juicy steak (preferably with a Bond girl at your side).
So we're pleased to present Bobby Flay's
Bar Americain, firing up the grill for you starting
tomorrow at Mohegan.
This is the
massive (think 276
seats), fancy (think marble tiles and zinc bars), NYC-meets-Vegas brasserie you've been waiting for from
your favorite Connecticut casino.
We recommend you order a round of
Bronx Cocktails (hopefully the gin, OJ and vermouth will make you
forget they hail from Yankee turf…) as you labor over the incredibly difficult decision between
Bobby's
spice-rubbed steaks (we like the
Filet Mignon, served tender enough to practically slice with
your fork) and entrées like
Porterhouse Lamb Chops.
If you're looking for differences between this place and the original BA, you might want to check out apps
like the
Boston Lettuce (de-vegged with bacon and a poached egg) and
Native American Taco
(stuffed with BBQ duck and cranberry red chile).
You'll also appreciate the fact that you can stroll out of here and get down to some gambling, which has got
to be the biggest difference between this restaurant and the one in NY.
Unless you know something we don't.
