On the crisp linen tablecloth sat a thick, leatherbound menu. I cracked it open. This was going to be an incredible meal.
This is Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in NYC.
The light streamed through tall windows as we made our selections. Hmm…so many choices…
Oooh, bread!
I dug my claws into a massive tray of rolls sopping with butter, taking an immodest portion. Hopefully no one else wanted any.
No matter how fine the fare, why is bread always one of the most exciting moments in a meal?
I made a little polite conversation, but my mind was on only one thing: my octopus.
The tentacles rested on a bed of fragrant chimichurri sauce. Shaved almonds added a nice crunch, contrasting with the texture of the octopus.
Delicious.
I used to think I hated octopus. I had only ever had it raw. Long story — lots of time in Japan.
But last year, I found out I actually love it, so long as it’s cooked. Del Frisco’s serves it lightly grilled, a great preparation.
Next came the sides…
Waiters started laying in front of us steaming dishes of all the steak house classics: creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, asparagus and more. My eyes locked onto the creamed spinach, ma cherie amour.
I began to think of it as my creamed spinach. Surely no one loves it as much as I?
Needless to say, my portion was healthy.
And never forget la piece de la resistance, the steak.
I ordered an 8 oz filet, medium rare. The peppery crust on the outside perfectly complemented a tender interior — lovely.
I stuffed my face with mashed potatoes, spinach, and more bread. Life doesn’t get much better than this.
“Dessert?”
Uh, of course! Who do you think you’re dealing with?
I ordered the chocolate mousse cake. The fellow next to me went with butter cake — intriguing.
Our desserts came out, beautifully decorated. I sunk my fork into the chocolate mousse. It felt like plunging my hand into a snow bank — smooth, soft, yielding.
The creamy mousse with a hint of cocoa bitterness was just right.
My dining companion seemed overjoyed with his butter cake. I’ll have to get that next time!
Del Frisco’s is located on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. Finding the entrance is a bit tricky — it’s actually just around the corner on 49th Street.
Del Frisco’s also has other locations in major cities across the country. Stop in for a great steak — and don’t forget the spinach!
