Getting 'crunchified' is encouraged and comes with no additional charge at grill master Bobby Flay's Bobby's Burger Palace. Try not to fill up before visiting the Patisserie, where cakes, chocolates, and fruit confections are paired with premium champagne and traditional tea service. Vegetables stand out on the Blanca (modern) side with offerings such as beet spaghetti salad with goat cheese and arugula. On the Rojo (traditional) side of the menu, you can sample Ibérico ham and the New Way José Patatas Bravas, fried potatoes with a homemade aioli and spicy tomato sauce. Tapas are imbued with modern flourishes at Rojo y Blanca. A boring hotel lobby bar is replaced by Bar Centro, featuring a caviar menu, raw bar, and specialty drinks like the Salt Air Margarita, topped with the classic Andrés signature cloud of salty foam. Not just a single restaurant, the Bazaar, located in the glamorous SLS Hotel, is actually an assembly of several dining experiences individually crafted by Andrés and resembles a modern-day, indoor piazza. At the Bazaar, his first dining experience outside the Beltway, Andrés shoots for the stars, which is apropos for a restaurant venture in Beverly Hills. Over the last 15 years, acclaimed chef José Andrés has been credited for introducing Americans to traditional and avant-garde Spanish cuisine at his multiple D.C.-area restaurants.
