St. Elmo Steak House August 2010

E-mail Print PDF

Ah, finally.  St. Elmo’s.  The meal I wait for all year.  St Elmo’s is one of those rare things to find – an independent steakhouse.  It has been operating at the same location since 1902 and has quite a history in Indianapolis.  If you’re really lucky you get to eat at the table in the wine cellar.  Lance has been going here at least once a GenCon for the past many years, I consider myself lucky to be included in his tradition. 

We had initially planned to have dinner just with one of our friends, Brian, however we ended up being joined by three other friends as well, Nate, Mike, and Sean.  Good times were had by all, although I wish we hadn’t been rushed due to our work schedule!  Six people dine much more slowly than two. 

Shrimp CocktailThe Shrimp Cocktail.  This is St. Elmo’s crowning glory.  You might think you’re getting normal, mild cocktail sauce, but this stuff is actually laden with fiery chopped horseradish.  If you need your sinuses cleared out, this is the stuff for you.  I don’t eat shrimp, but I always snag a bite or two of the sauce when Lance orders this because I love it.

Lance and I recently spent four days in Indianapolis, IN and were able to eat at some of the local restaurants while there.  We were both working the night shift at GenCon, so our meals were all early in order to finish in time for work.  The first restaurant I picked was Harry and Izzy’s which is run by the same people who own the fantastic St Elmo Steak House.

In July we decided to go eat out at Smith and Wollensky to celebrate two years of being a happy household.  Smith and Wollensky is one of Lance’s favorite steakhouses and we hadn’t been to one since I started blogging over a year ago.

BLT Steak February 2010

This year we decided to do something slightly different to celebrate our birthdays and, instead of eating out three different times, we chose to just eat out once to celebrate all three.  Since Art and I enjoyed our trip to BLT Steak so much in October, we ended up going there for our birthdays dinner as well so that Lance could try the restaurant as well.

Teatro Goldoni October 2009

E-mail Print PDF

Dinner on Saturday was my favorite meal of the weekend.  I chose Teatro Goldoni due to Washingtonian’s 100 Best Restaurants list and Art’s love of Italian food.  As an unexpected benefit, Teatro Goldoni was also within easy walking distance from our hotel, which is always a bonus!
