As a former New Yorker, Blue Ribbon was my go to spot (and for a lot of chefs) late at night in Soho. This Blue Ribbon is nestled within the heart of The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and is an ode to culinary craftsmanship, and its fried chicken is nothing short of iconic. Walking into Blue Ribbon, you are greeted by an ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between upscale sophistication and a warm, welcoming vibe. The dark wood, muted lighting, and plush seating set the scene for a dining experience that promises both comfort and luxury. However, while the menu boasts an array of dishes that are hard to resist, the star of the show is undoubtedly the fried chicken. It is, in essence, a masterclass in how this beloved dish should be prepared. The exterior crackles with each bite, thanks to a golden crust that is seasoned to perfection. It's this delicate balance of saltiness and subtle spice that makes the first bite unforgettable. Beneath this crispy layer, the chicken remains incredibly tender and juicy. One could argue that the secret lies in the marinade, or perhaps the precise cooking technique, but whatever the magic, Blue Ribbon has certainly mastered it. The dish is further elevated when paired with their honey wasabi sauce, a fusion of sweet and zesty flavors that brings a delightful kick, making every bite an adventurous journey for the palate. Moreover, Blue Ribbon's commitment to excellence extends beyond just the food. The service is great. The staff go out of their way to ensure that each guest feels special. Blue Ribbon at the Cosmopolitan is a must-visit in pursuit of the best fried chicken in town. The experience is sumptuous, memorable, and undoubtedly leaves you yearning for more.
