Harrah's Supports Local Farmers, Atlantic City Country Club & HBO's Boardwalk Empire

Farm to Table Dinner at Nero's Grill in Caesars

Caesar's Atlantic City hosted Farm to Table on Thursday and Friday. This exquisite culinary feast featured food from local New Jersey farms.

On Thursday evening, our culinary adventure began at Nero's Grill at Caesars. Here's what we ate:

First up to bat is Amuse Bouche: Smoked Duck Breast, Apricot paint, Pistachio, Pea Tendrils and Olive oil powder (above right).




Appetizer was Seared Cape May Scallops, Jalapeno Creamed Corn, Basil Essence with lemon emulsifier. (left)




Spetacular entree: Walu (from Hawaii), Broccoli Rabe, Clams and Tomato Broth. This was my first time eating Walu. Walu is in the barracuda family and has the texture of a tender steak. Declicious. (right)




Triple Dessert: Triple Cream Tiramisu, Warm Chocolate Cake and Apple Cider Cheesecake (left)




Breakfast at Atlantic City Country Club


On Friday morning we ate at the Atlantic City Country Club, a former private golf club founded in 1897. It is owned by Harrah's Entertainment and now open to the public. The club is most famous for being the birthplace of the golf terms "birdie" and "eagle." They will soon be famous for their great food.

Check out what I ate for breakfast: Petit sirloin steak with scrambled eggs, pineapple and strawberry.




The club's Tap Room Bar and Grille (we had window seating with a gorgeous window view of the golf course and premises), and the lake



Lake, golf course and locker room and lockers of some famous folks who have come to tee off at the course
