So, Eric and I had an unexpected full night out last night. We had planned on meeting some friends right after work to celebrate a birthday, but we just assumed a few drinks, and then home for dinner. But then an unexpected invite came to go to St. Elmo's Steakhouse.
For those not in the Indy area, St. Elmo's Steakhouse has a bit of fame surrounding it. It's well know for its shrimp cocktail (if you ever need to clear you sinuses, get one!), and I think the steaks are pretty damn good, too. When famous people come from out of town, you can often find them having a meal here. A lot of people just stalked the exit door during the SuperBowl this year.
So back to 'date night' with Eric... he was actually out of town through Friday. In fact, he was still on a plane when it started - I met the group out at Tastings, a wine bar, and when he landed, he met up with us. We then did a round of pre-dinner drinks at St. Elmo's 1933 Lounge, a prohibition era styled bar above the restaurant (and very cool place to go, regardless). These two places, alone, helped end the rainy, dreary week on a positive note.
But finally, dinner. We did, indeed, start with the shrimp cocktails. Yummm... while St. Elmo's has a range of steaks, I always stick with the 8oz. fillet... I don't need anything bigger and this one is always top notch, anyway. Throw in some garlic marinated green beans, and I'm content as a sunflower in the sun.
So the moral of the story? Find a good steak and all is right with the world.
