We finally celebrated Valentine's Day this past week by having dinner at Taste of Texas, courtesy of a gift card I received months ago. We decided to share the porterhouse steak for two - "Thirty-two ounces of the king of steaks! Over one-and-a-half inches thick and fall-off-the-bone tender." - split tableside for sharing. Accompanied by two salads and a side order for each person. You can pick out the steak yourself or trust the butcher to pick one out for you. We decided to let the butcher choose for us. We made our way to the salad bar and loaded up on salad and fresh bread (my favorite was the asiago cheese roll). I was still working on my salad when the main entree arrived. The steak was huge. We shared a loaded baked potato and texas au gratin potatoes. I don't eat a lot of meat, especially steak but I have to say this was the best steak I've ever had....especially the filet portion. Super tender and extremely flavorful. I guess you do get what you pay for....this place is not cheap. Thank goodness for gift cards. Luckily, we were smart enough to say no to the offer of appetizers and dessert. I was stuffed by the end of the meal.
Happy belated Valentine's Day.
