Go Big Or Go Home
Ever have a such an awesome meal that you just had to tell everyone? It might have been at a cool sportsbar/pub with your buds eating hot wings and drinking beer, or it might have been at a big barbeque on a beach with a crowd of strangers? Or maybe--it was by yourself FOR yourself! Whatever! Spill it here!
Here's mine:
Valentine's Day, Spouse took me to my favorite fancy-schmancy restaurant nearby. The owner falls all over himself when I show up which is very flattering and even goes so far as to bring us out our entrees personally. To say the quality of the food there is incredible is an understatement and as prone to hyperbole as I am--this was the shit.
The entire meal was orgasmic. I started with the most perfect Dirty Bombay Sapphire Martini, extra filthy, extra dry, extra olives, straight up. Then I had another. Then my appetizer was the Baked Oyster Trinity--Casino, Oreganato & Rockerfeller and a glass of riesling. My entree was a gigantic rare T-bone topped with bleu cheese butter and served with truffle laced pomme frites. The house salad came with homemade sun-dried tomato balsamic vinegrette. And a glass of something dark and red and luscious. For dessert, I had espresso with a shot of Sambuca and hazelnut green tea creme brulee'.
Spouse had to nearly drag me to the car but I made it. I also was so full I didn't eat for two days after that but when he tried to eat MY leftover T-bone I almost went for his throat.
