StripSteak - Gail's Dish: 18 oz Dry Aged Bone-In Rib Eye, cooked perfectly at medium rare. =) No, I could not eat all of it. But yes, it was melt-in-your-mouth-wonderful. =) There's nothing like a good Bone-In Rib Eye, and my favorite part is always to clean the bone, because that's my favorite part of the steak (does anyone else do that? I am one of those people that like to clean the bone off my chicken wings and meats, hee hee...). Thank goodness for Restaurant.com's 80% off sale, because $52 for a piece of steak is really just ridiculous. The Wagyu Kobe Rib Cap was about $70...even with a coupon, I simply couldn't do that. This was good, but definitely too indulgent. I felt full, but very heavy after, which is uncharacteristic of normal good fine dining, which fills you up without the oils and heaviness that comes with heavy meats. Thus, my choice for lighter choices later this week at Todd's and Rosemary's. =) Speaking of Restaurant.com, just a little advertising because I use them - they're usually $10 for a $25 coupon at certain restaurants, but honestly, I never buy it at the normal rate. We go for the random 80% and 90% off sales when they show up! That means $2 for a $25 coupon when it's 80% off...that's pretty good if you ask me. =)

There is a new chain shop in Del Ray named HomeMade Pizza Co. It works like this: you go to the restaurant or order delivery and what you get in return is an uncooked pizza, topped with fresh ingredients, wrapped and ready to cook at home. Sounds crazy. "If I'm going to pay someone else for pizza it should be cooked!" Or cheap and frozen. But in the end, it ends up being pretty tasty. Here is the pizza cooked. It got brown in the right spots and was enjoyable. This was a Spinach Pie: Mounds of fresh spinach with Feta cheese, sundried tomatoes, roasted garlic, pine nuts, and a hint of oregano over an olive oil glaze. In the end, we will probably only go back if we have a coupon (which we do - they hand them out liberally, at least in the beginning).
