We have done Ruth Chris a bunch I want something different. Hows Chima?

Is it as good as Fogo de Chao?

chima is really expensive and its so much u literally dont want to eat meat for like a month after that. its awesome though. pretty cool that they bring it out and cut it off the thingy right infront of you. really expensive though.

The CustomShop on Elizabeth is great. It's sous vide cooking which is like poaching but they do it in a vaccum packed bag.

So for instance they would take a porkchop and cook it for hours at a low but safe temperature. Then when your order it they crisp it up. So you get the most tender meat you have ever tasted but also the crispy outside from the pan.

The prices aren't half bad at all. With a decent bottle of wine and dessert/starter you would probably be around 120 which is good for anniversary territory.

That gets my vote.

Never understood the fascination with Ruth's Chris been about 5 time's never thought it was anything special.

it's def not anything for an anniversary. I think that place makes all of it's money on drunk people at their business conferences.

Closest we have to a dessert bar is Denny's. I'm gonna go cry now. We don't even have a damn KrispyKreme.

I'd have to agree. I am am doing the anniversary thing Labor Day weekend and was going to do the Capital Grille (my favorite) but looking at the BLT Steakhouse has me thinking about changing. Wife hasn't been to either, anyone know how they compare?

BLT Steak > Capital Grille

The chef at Zebra was my boss at Myers Park CC. I tossed salads there!!!

:eek:

I think BLT might just be the ticket. Then maybe Crave later on for dessert. Anybody know any late night dessert bars that are good. Maybe a horse and buggy ride also.

Crave is pretty cool. Cupcakes are eh but they tend to have pretty good drink specials and an excellent chocolate Martini. BLT's desserts are better.

Chima's about $45/person and I bought a steak at Ruth's Chris alone was that much with nothing else.

Ive eaten at the custom shop before and it was really really good. Love the crispy pig tail and the chicken liver pate. Everything we had was awesome. Im making reservations at BLT, so thanks for the info. Should be a good time.
