| - I love my steak. I love FREE steak even better! Once again, thanks to my position as a geeky network admin I got to enjoy the benefits of an informative IT seminar. At Del Frisco's no less!
The IT seminar started off well with at least 50+ people from all over Las Vegas, IT workers from private and public institutions. But in our minds I'm pretty sure everyone was quietly chanting to themselves, "Go meat, meat...go meat, meat". I know I wasn't completely focused on 'cloud computing' and 'server virtualization'!
After about an hour of the presentation our lunch started arriving. We started off with a basket of their fresh bread, nice and warm out of the oven. Good stuff I tell you! We started off with the Del Frisco house salad with fresh lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, fresh croutons, and two large slices of smoked bacon. This was topped with their avocado ranch dressing. Great salad! But definitely, definitely not on the health conscious side! The salad was fresh, and the large house cut croutons were a very nice touch. The creaminess of the avocado ranch cut through the saltiness of the bacon quite nicely. With a little fresh ground black pepper on top the salad was excellent.
While the IT seminar continued in the background, our next course came out. We had the choice of either an 8 oz. filet mignon, 12 oz. ribeye, or the salmon. Needless to say, when in a steak house do what the meatatarians do! Salmon was out. Medium rare ribeye was in! However when I got my lil' slab of flesh something was amiss. I noticed right away just by look that my steak was not cooked correctly. Cut into it...damn! It's near well done! WTH? I immediately call over the waiter and tell him I ordered medium rare ribeye. He apologized profusely and said that he'll fix that right away. I had to wait an extra 15 minutes for my ribeye but it was so worth it. Waiter came back with my new steak, apologized again and said that there was a mistake in the kitchen and my previous order was at the wrong table. Wow, who orders an expensive cut of meat well done? For shame, I tell you!
That steak was like buttah! Well, actually after broiling it was topped with a pat of butter as well, nicely melting on top of my ribeye. So tender! So juicy! Seasoned just right with salt and pepper. No steak sauce needed when the quality of the meat is great! My ribeye also came accompanied with some of Del Frisco's chateau potatoes (similar to garlic mashed potatoes) that was good as well. Very creamy and silky, you could tell the potatoes had a lot of butter in them. I took a few bites, but concentrated on using all my allowed calories for the day on that lovely ribeye. Done! That ribeye was PWND!
Near the end of out IT seminar dessert came out. We were treated to a large serving of bread pudding. I was treated to a large serving of GUILT. Calorie consumption for day had easily exceeded the 2500 mark. But it looked so good! What would Tony Horton and my friends at P90X say? I don't really recall, but up went my spoon! The bread pudding was pretty good, very sweet and indulgent with their rum laced light caramel sauce. And boy could I taste the butter! After four bites I finally put my spoon down. Whew!
Fattening lunch to say the least. I was a wee bit slower trying to do an ungodly number of pullups that day for P90X. But it was worth it!
Much thanks to the tech company hosting the seminar for the good eats! Del Frisco...great food and great service! Service was excellent and attentive, and the immediate fix to my mi-steak (get it? LOL) was much appreciated. I will definitely have to visit here to have a real sit down dinner in their dining room! Though this time I will have to foot the bill. Aww, sad me.
