DoubleDD Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 This evening we celebrated my wife's birthday with massages and facials (I know not too manly). After the massage and facial we attended dinner, just the two of us. We ate at a local steakhouse outside of Chicago. We ordered jumbo lump crab cakes and four cheese fried ravioli as appetizers. She had the shrimp and crab salad but, that's where the healthy dinner ended. I had an 18oz dry aged bone in ribeye, medium rare. Sides consisted of twice baked potatoes, pasta, sautéed spinach with garlic, broccoli with garlic, and four cheese mac n' cheese. A bottle of wine and two martinis later we ordered creme brûlée with espresso to follow. All in all a good day even without a cigar.

stogieluver Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sounds like an incredible meal! My wife's 50th birthday is coming up in August, and I've been kicking around the idea of hiring a limo and bringing along two couples who are close friends and going to New Orleans/French Quarter (a two hour ride) for drinks and dinner, either at Commander's Palace or Galatoir's, which are two of New Orleans' best restaurants and our favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit kicking and do it! I've had some great food at both. After, take her to Brennan's and order a Pousse-café for the lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking at old posts in the food forum and this meal looks great. What was the steak house? I’m near Chicago myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
