Boom Bang Fine Foods & Cocktails
At Boom Bang in Henderson, Elia Aboumrad makes her corn dogs from Niman Ranch franks in a honey-sweetened batter.
Why go
Elia Aboumrad, whom television viewers know from Bravo's Top Chef, came to Las Vegas from Paris to open Joël Robuchon's restaurants at the MGM Grand.4 GAYOT names her as Robuchon's first female sous chef.3 Boom Bang is her American brasserie in a Green Valley strip. When it opened, its tabletops were covered in buttons from her father's haberdashery in Mexico City.3
City Cast Las Vegas put her corn dog at the top of its corn dog roundup in January 2026: Let's begin with the best.
2 The same menu carries a chilled seafood plateau. Adam Parkzer, who writes a personal blog, ate the small one as his dinner in August 2023 and said three of its West Coast oysters were some of the best oysters I've ever had.

He found the rest uneven: I think the consistency and quality of the food was a bit scattered.
His bill for two came to $232.79 with tax and tip, for a few dishes he thought he could get elsewhere for less than half the price
. He also had to shout over a DJ playing very loud music the entire time we were there.

Order this / avoid
- Order: the small action seafood plateau, $56 in 2023: tuna tartare, shrimp with Mexican cocktail sauce, hamachi aguachile (yellowtail in chile water) and six oysters. Adam Parkzer (2023) on the shrimp:
The shrimp was incredibly satisfying.
1 - Order: the pavlova with Bavarian cream and berries. Parkzer (2023) had one bite and found it
clean and refreshing
.1 - Avoid: the calamari. Parkzer (2023):
the breading was a bit intense in some areas, and it was somewhat over-fried.
1 - Avoid: the mushroom tart, unless you like strong goat cheese. Parkzer (2023) liked the mushrooms and the pastry, but
the goat cheese smelled like vomit and made the whole dish pretty unpleasant.

Verdict
could-visit — Drive out to Green Valley for a Robuchon-trained chef's corn dog and a chilled seafood plateau, and expect a DJ by the door. The cooking was uneven in 2023, so stick to the shrimp and the oysters and leave the calamari and the goat cheese tart.
