This my sound ridiculous but I am dying to go back to Flying Fish to order the potatoes au gratin. My DH got the steak and I went on a limb and tried something that I am usually apprehensive about ordering. The pork chop. It was a nice leap. I have had too many bad ones that I stopped ordering that out for a long time. Either way too dried out, or a bad sauce to accompany it or whatever. That pork chop with the leek mac and cheese is outstanding. But even then, when I get back to FF we are going to try fish or shellfish or pasta or something else.
Basically something to go with the potatoes au gratin. LOL!
I love au gratin potatoes. I have had them anywhere they serve them because not all places do. They are hard to shoot for conistency. Even when I make them at home, they are time consuming, and they don't always come out the same way each time. Well, I try to also use a different cheese or try new techniques to see if we like it too. Great steakhouses that are pricey, chains, everywhere, and the ones at FF are the best I have ever had. I ate the whole thing and it is a big portion. They were perfectly sliced, perfectly cooked, the creamy cheese sauce had something going on taste wise that was amazing. Just phenomenal.
The second place win goes to the steak chain (the pricey sister of the Outback chain) Fleming's. They make it with cheddar and jalapenos for some kick and they are great. If anyone has a Fleming's near them, try them. But it is a toss up between their gigiantic and delcious baked potato that comes with tiny dishes of butter, sour cream, chive, bacon, and cheddar, and they let you build your potato as you wish. LOL!
It's Sunday! Time for confessions.
