Alexander's Steakhouse
5 Reasons why you should go:
ONE: Complementary items: glass of champagne (they brought over champagne before I even opened the menu), white tuna amuse bouche (pictured), and watermelon shooters
TWO: hamachi shooters (a million different flavors explode in your mouth) and seared scallops. for a steakhouse, their seafood was superb!
THREE: ginormous portions!
FOUR: complementary dessert
FIVE: humongo complementary cotton candy (almost as big as my head)
LASTLY: they give you cotton candy for cryin' out loud! i sure enjoyed it :)
Chris Cosentino, the very lovable co-star of chefs vs. city, just happens to be the executive chef of Incanto. i think it's pretty apparent that i'm addicted to the food network and although i did not expect him to be working that night, you can imagine my glee when i SAW HIM IN THE KITCHEN!
throughout dinner, i was plotting the best way to ask for a picture without looking like a groupie. i knew i would be kicking myself later for not going for it, so i did!
i told him how much we LOVED chefs vs. city and he said he was leaving to tape the second season the next day. i'm so glad i got to meet him! oh! and the food! he prepared this appetizer i think.
Hamachi with tobiko, grapefruit and mandarin oranges. delish! and the mandarin oranges were frozen so it added a very interesting texture.
Dessert was heavenly, Lavendar panna cotta! unfortunately, no pictures because i dove right in and before i knew it, it was all gone! it wasn't even my dessert!
Alexander's was great! Chris Cosentino was great! Grinning from ear to ear! I can't forget his words to me: "Get over here!" as we were trying to take the picture :)
