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. The 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.
