Dante's Kitchen

Last night, D. and I went to Dante's Kitchen (in the Riverbend) for his office's holiday party. His coworkers are great, and I'm pretty sure I gained 123123982095382034290348 lbs.

Note to self: wear the fat pants next time, instead of the skinny jeans. (But the new Festivus-ready shoes are GREAT - they're the perfect combination of cute and sturdy, which is ideal for the boozy slate of holiday events upon us this month.)

Here's what we ate:

Crabmeat & Brie French Toast
Brioche stuffed with Louisiana blue crabmeat salad and brie, cooked French toast style and served with onion thyme relish and smoked tomato sauce

Pumpkin Soup
with house made tasso and duck cracklin’

Prince Edward Island Mussels
steamed in a beer an stilton cheese broth

Romaine Salad
tossed with a goat cheese dressing, smoked bacon and cane syrup roasted pecans

Trois Mignons
three petite beef tenderloin filets served on caramelized onion mashed potatoes and topped with pork debris, Stilton cheese sauce and marchand du vin

Bell & Evan’s Chicken Roasted Under a Brick
maple glazed, with a potato and bacon hash cake, topped with a fried farm egg

And if you're still not convinced of the joyousness of their food, I have two words for you:

Peach.

Mojitos.

Oh yessssssssssssssss.
