When in Las Vegas, stop by the little Bouchon Bakery in the Venetian. The Bouchon Bakery is a Thomas Keller creation (The French Laundry) and when you have sampled the baked goods you will understand why he has such an incredible reputation--not everyone can afford his restaurants. Since we are about chocolate and wine, and you are not going to have wine at a small bakery, let us tell you to have a Bouchon at the bakery. It looks like a chocolate brownie and tastes like one, only perfect. Perfect is not easy. Also, try the Red Velvet cupcake. Red Velvet cakes are really chocolate, so we feel comfortable in making the suggestion, and it is indescribable.

The internet being the beautiful tool it is, we found a recipe if you are not able to find your way to the bakery: Bouchon Bakery Bouchon recipe

In English, a bouchon is a cork, which explains why this brownie is shaped like a cork.
