Chat Files: Restaurant Week Edition

10:12 AM Fyn: Hi Miss [Cerulean]

10:13 AM me: Hey Miss [Fyn]!

I finally had a Restaurant Week meal that was awesome!

Fyn: which steak place was it?

10:14 AM me: Ruth's Chris at the Pier V.

10:15 AM It was kind of loud, but the food was good, and it was a great deal.

The whole meal cost as much as only my steak would have if it hadn't been restaurant week.

10:16 AM And they have very good floor managers. When my steak first arrived it was overdone, and I was fretting about whether to send it back and a floor manager just...appeared and asked me straight up if it was cooked right, and when I said it was overdone, he took it away and got me a new - perfect med-rare steak in a matter of minutes.

10:17 AM I started with the lobster bisque and liked that, too! I am always proud of myself when I eat seafood.

10:18 AM Fyn: nice!

10:19 AM the whole idea of really good floor managers is amazing to me

really great steak, i presume?

10:20 AM me: oh my GAWD. It was so good.

I was glad I'd gotten the petit filet, so that I didn't totally stuff myself. And that the plate was so hot, lest I lick it.

And I got bread pudding with whiskey sauce - yum!

10:21 AM J got gumbo for his app, but I gotta say....it was good, mine is better.

10:22 AM Still, it was great to have a restaurant week meal that I really felt reflected what a normal meal there would be like.
