Too Much Beef on Thanksgiving

We went to Dylan Prime on Thanksgiving. It was delicious. We ordered too much. I am extremely full. So goes Thanksgiving Day regardless if you're eating a traditional Thanksgiving meal at home with family or at a steakhouse with your older brother. My apologies, this post will not have any picture. In avoidance of feeling tacky and hearing my brother say under his breath "put your camera away, they're going to think this is our first time at a nice restaurant", I opted not to take pictures through the course of our feast. We ordered cheese fondue with apples, bread cubes, fried onions and bacon bits (ideal combination = dip bread in cheese, dip bread with cheese in bacon bits and fried onion = amazing). We ordered Caesar salad, which came with a delicious crostini topped with black olive tapenade. We ordered petit filets with parmigiana reggiano and Maytag blue and chive chappeux, respectively. And then... then we ordered lobster mac n' cheese and sausage stuffing. Needless to say, Happy Thanksgiving. One of two holidays a year (the other being Christmas), when it is socially acceptable to completely indulge in some of the least healthy food known to man. Luckily, we have some sense, and after destroying the fondue, and tasting the filets, mac and stuffing, we decided to pay the bill and relocate to the bar.

Coole Swan Irish Liquor (sooo much better than Bailey's), a cool, creamy vanilla, wintry liquor and pumpkin pie...the final blow before completely succumbing to this food coma, and then (thanks to the NY Giants and my brother's wisdom), we were off. On our way home to watch football, with a delicious goody bag of two - 1/2 filet mignons, part lobster mac, and part sausage stuffing. The perfect day-after-Thanksgiving breakfast/lunch/dinner surprise. Who says you have to eat at home to enjoy the beauty of Thanksgiving left overs?!

Happy Thanksgiving! (pictures to come at a later date when it is polite to photograph the inside of the dining room at a respectable (and excellent) restaurant.
