Restaurant Experienced - Roast

Who wants to see what a 30oz. bone-in porterhouse steak looks like?

Roast porterhouse for two!

At this time, it is appropriate to rearrange your dinner plans.  This steak was phenomenal; cooked to perfection.  To me, consistency and attention to detail are two of the most important qualities that a top-of-the-line restaurant must embody.  I ordered this monster medium-rare.  I got a medium-rare steak.  I was thrilled.

Aside: It is a personal vexation when a waiter or waitress asks what temperature I would like my entree and proceeds to serve me a steak however the cook felt like preparing it.  If I am just going to get a piece of well-done steak no matter what I say, then why bother asking?  In fact, why even ask me what meat I would like?  Just bring out whatever you feel like overcooking.

 This was not the case at Roast...

Restaurant Experienced - Sala Thai

If you like a little kick in the mouth, Sala Thai will gladly humor you!

Mixed seafood and beef with shrimp in a red curry sauce!

If you are an adventurous eater, Sala Thai is a can't miss experience.  The entire meal is brimming with authenticity and love.  That is my favorite, when you can taste the love that is sprinkled into every dish at a favorite restaurant.  I was treated like a king and served enough food for the royal army.  The curry was phenomenally spicy and the seafood was extraordinarily flavorful.  The beef was a highlight to be sure.  Thinly sliced and prepared with not even a hint of chewiness yet rich with the aromas and tastes of the bountiful curry sauce! And these two dishes were not even the best part of the meal...
The appetizers that preceded were even more tantalizing!

Spicy Monster Roll

Muscles

The muscles were definitely the highlight for me.  So flavorful and well prepared.  Again, dripping with the most important ingredient of all, love.  Succulent hardly even begins to describe this dish.  Not overly salty or chewy and incredibly moist and tender, the muscles were served in a bath of intense flavor and spice that I had never experienced before.  Delicious!

Sala Thai is a must for any adventurous eater.  If you are not into spicy foods or trying new things, it might not be the right place.  But if you are, do yourself a huge favor and go to Sala Thai as soon as possible.

Eat well everyone!

What A Weekend!

Even though this is how my weekend ended, I clearly had to start off this post with a deep dish bang.

The Original Buddy's Pizza!

What a wild weekend!  With so many things going on in Detroit, it was hard to keep my head on straight. Unfortunately, the Tigers hosted the Yankees.  We had almost perfect weather for the Grand Prix all weekend on Belle Isle.  It was Pride Fest in Hart Plaza,  The Red Hot Chili Peppers were in town and we even paid homage to nature's most delicious menu item: Bacon!

Here is a list of what I did:
