Oh There’s No Place Like Home…

Oh there’s no place like home for the holidays….

So…. we did something totally different for Thanksgiving… we went to Charlie Palmer’s Steakhouse.  The view was beautiful, the food looked amazing – I had to pull out my camera and snap a few every time a new plate arrived… but my preference… totally, hands down – home cooking all day long.

Don’t get me wrong… the food was good, some of it was great.

The beet salad was THE best I’ve had.

The sides were sadly disappointing.  “Umm…. Is this stovetop?”  Seriously?

The steak… uh… it was just okay.  I am partial to the Palm – wait… and Eddie Vs.  If you haven’t been, go and have a Ribeye – please do not have it cooked beyond medium/medium well or you may as well have a burger.

The pumpkin cheesecake with figs and almonds was delicious!  Just DELICIOUS!

The chocolate tarte was delicious. Crispy… creamy… tasty perfection.  I cleaned my plate.

Be that as it may… I will be cooking next time or parking myself at someone’s table.

I love this time of year!  I can’t be messing around in some restaurant on the big day!
