LOL...not that I can recall, anyway. I was debating on whether to have any wine with dinner, but last night, the ribeye was such a great cut and cooked to absolute perfection, that I just had to indulge a little. Reminds me that NYC does steak so much better than Vegas or anyone in the West coast, and probably only Chicago's Gold Coast would be comparable.

"On a scale of 1 to 8" is something I rarely hear. I wonder if that's related to measurement in some way - such as eighths of a teaspoon?
In any case, I appreciate the order since I tend to always order one level below the spiciest any restaurant offers

. Well, at least for the places that I know take heat seriously.

New York strip, grilled trumpet mushrooms, mashed potatoes, demi glace, and assorted greens.

Pedroncelli "Friends" for the wine, a nice Merlot, Zinfandel, and Sangiovese blend.

Do they still have the beef kway teow with the thick dark gravy? I remember the first time I had it (in Singapore)... at some non-descript booth at the base of... I want to say Chinatown Point or somewhere near there (I just remember the building was two spirals)... was a wee lad with my dad dragging me around looking for a seal carver to get some seals made for me and my brother.

..

Yes , they do . Forgot the photo of the beef kway teow with the thick dark gravy ! Actually it was all consumed before a snapshot could be taken

Thought , best be snappy this dinner

Pizza night .. deciding on desserts - that is what happens when one has options walking through Hilton and FS . Last night it was like all bar 2 , will not happen on consecutive nights !

Lino pizza , mushrooms with half / half - added bacon & prosciutto

🤔 decisions , decisions , decisions .. just part of what is available in Four Seasons

Lydia Bastianich has a new cookbook but a recipe for her Skillet Lasagne appeared in the Chicago Tribune recently. It has three cheeses, oven ready noodles and marinara. I used everyone’s favorite, Rao’s and substituted hot Italian sausage for the peas (weird). Finished under the broiler. Surprisingly good.
