re: Arse's Fatty Rewind™ (Rock-n-Sake, Surrey's, Charlie's Steakhouse, etc)

I hadn't been to Charlie's in about two years. I grabbed a drink at the bar and waited to be seated. I find it very odd that they don't give patrons menus when ordering. I was picking up the bill, so I was wondering what the collateral damage would be.

We all got side salads with bleu cheese, filets. We also shared sides of potatoes au gratin, mushrooms, cream spinach and steamed vegetables.








All the steaks were ordered medium rare and came out as such. They tasted good but not great. The sides were all delicious. My favorite was the spinach. I recall saying that it was "fricking delicious" at the table. I don't curse in front of my mom. The Beam must have gotten the best of me.


For dessert we went with Brocato's spumoni and pistachio ice cream. They're as good as it gets.



Charlie's was good, but I would not put it in the same park with Mr. John's, Desi's, Doris, et al. We had a good time.

After dinner, I think I went home to pass out.

After mass on Sunday, I went to 12 Mile for brunch. They have a build your own burrito or biscuit. While I was deciding on what to fill my burrito with, I ordered a Baudin, which had bourbon, honey, lemon, and Tabasco. I forgot to take a picture of it. It was spicy. I wouldn't recommend going down on someone after consuming that drink for at least ten minutes.

Anyway, I decided to go with pimento cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, egg, and smoked sausage. I believe I created a masterpiece.



The grits were out of this world. They were extremely creamy, and I would put them up against anyone else.

You know I couldn't leave without ordering a piece of king cake doberge "to go." I love that thing.



After brunch, I walked down to Finn's to watch the Cowgirls go down in defeat.



After the game, we headed to Whole Food to pick up some cheese for dinner. Who the hell shops there? I had not been there in at least five years. I was overwhelmed by the people there and what was in their baskets. I couldn't make out what half of the shite was. My God, some people must live extremely miserable lives.

On my way out, I wanted to grab a coffee at District to stay regular. I cannot go in there without ordering chocolate milk. I love chocolate milk. This was all that was left from my walk across the street.



For dinner, we threw some cheese and bread out and threw on re-runs of The Wire. I polished of the entire portion of pate.




We also picked at this half smoked chicken. I thought it was pretty good, and it was on sale.




Stay fat, my friends.
