Brahmin Wellington

Brahmin Wellington is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Brahmin Wellington is a gourmet food item featured at The Gourmand, the Ultra-Luxe casino's high-class restaurant. It is the creation of The Gourmand's head chef, Philippe, who keeps the recipe for the dish in his kitchen. Even if one knows about the recipe, few have the skills to prepare the delicious dish of brahmin steak wrapped in puffy ant egg pastry.

As a food item, brahmin Wellington provides a fairly high amount of health with no negative effects, making it one of a small number of food items which do not increase radiation when consumed.

At the Survival skill level of 80 that is necessary to craft it, brahmin Wellington will provide a 130 point restoration of hit points, as well as a 260 point reduction in the player's Starvation level if in Hardcore mode.

Crafting
This item can be crafted by the player, once the recipe is acquired.

Creation requirements

Locations
Brahmin Wellington is only found inside the Ultra-Luxe casino's Member's Only room, and only if the player enters the room between the hours of 6 and 11 pm while not in the process of completing the quest Beyond the Beef. The Courier is also given a brahmin Wellington as a comp after winning a total of at least 7,500 chips playing the Ultra-Luxe's casino games. Outside of this, the only way to obtain the item is by crafting it.

Behind the scenes
The inspiration for this dish is Beef Wellington, "a preparation of fillet steak coated with pâté (often pâté de foie gras) and duxelles, which is then wrapped in puff pastry and baked".
