The fun started a couple of months ago when I ran into my nephew in law, a former chef, and showed him this deal I was looking at for Wagyu tomahawk steaks. I don’t have a grill so I asked are you willing to take this on? He’s like I’m game if you’re game. it was just a spur of the moment decision and I ordered all this meat. The end result was last weekend - we all pitched in to the menu, he cooked everything and it was one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in ages.
The menu;
Appetizers; heirloom tomatoes with goat cheese and balsamic; cream cheese with pepper jelly studded with edible flowers; shrimp cocktail.
Beverage for appetizer course: Prosecco
Cocktails before dinner; dirty martinis with garlic stuffed olives
Salad course: spears of Romaine with Caesar dressing and homemade croutons
Main course: roasted asparagus & mushrooms, risotto, garlic infused creamed mashed potatoes, freshly shucked cream corn. Butter soaked lobster tails on the mesquite Grill, and reverse seared charcoal spice rubbed Wagyu tomahawk steaks with herb and garlic compound butter.
Wine: Reds from my grand niece’s wine club @ $140! per bottle. Delicious!
Dessert: chocolate beignets and cheesecake with more prosecco. We closed the night out with old-fashioned cocktails which if I drank all of I would’ve had a massive hangover the next day so it only took sips.
My niece and nephew in law who used to own a catering company brought out all the stops with china, crystal, multiple glassware courses, cotton linens on the table. flowers, candles, and cute little portable lamps all set up poolside.
