It's been a while I know......you wouldn't believe how backed up I am with posts! I have tons of mouth watering pictures to share....just sitting in my camera. I literally say this every time I post....but I'm really going to try and post more often. I recently took a trip to New York, and I CANNOT wait to share my food experience with you. But......I want to first pick up where I left off and do Part 2 of My Love of Beef!
It's really nice to dine at a trendy restaurant like Steak 954 on the terrace eating steak while overlooking the beach .....and they have great steak...they really do....but when it comes to an overall foodgasm steakhouse experience, Capital Grille hands down will win your taste buds every time. As far as the scene, it's an upscale traditional steak house atmosphere.
For starters.....
I suggest the crab cakes. Can I just tell you that these aren't your ordinary crab cakes. This isn't some blended crab meat mixed with batter.....no ma'am....when you bite into these crab cakes.....legs pop out!
......and after you tackle the leg....there are chunks and chunks of crab meat. Now this my friends.....is a CRAB cake!
It's extremely challenging to describe why I believe these oysters were the best I've ever tasted. I mean all you do is swallow. Maybe it comes down to freshness.....but I would like to think all the oysters I've consumed were fresh. Soooo.....I guess all I can say is....the oysters are amazing.
As you've read from Part 1 of My Love of Beef.......I typically order the NY strip....but since I usually frequent Capital Grille during lunch time, I stick to the lunch menu options and order the bone in sirloin. The steak here is amazing....cooked and seasoned perfectly....and always served at the perfect temperature. I'm secretly obsessed with the baked potato also.... mainly because of the huge real bacon chunks they give you upon request. (my 2nd helping of bacon isn't pictured below) What can I say....I love me some bacon!
You also must try the truffle fries.....it's something about truffle oil that does a potato good ;)
Dessert! Creme Brulee is one of my FAVORITE desserts. I can seriously eat this every day. I even buy coffee creamer in creme brulee flavor. So you get it.....I love creme brulee. Well.....even though I'm on "assignment" when I'm eating out....and should always have my camera ready to snap a pic before the food is consumed.....I kinda forgot about this blog when they placed this on the table....oops! You get the idea though!
.....and this is some chocolate cake they also offer....which as you can see....is also good!
Ok....who's hungry?!?!?!?!

I'm a newly 30 (and I stress newly) year old attorney with a passion for good food. I guess I would fall under the category of "foodie" I love to eat.... sleep..... shop.... and eat! I find that my friends will often come to me for recommendations on restaurants for special occasions such as birthday dinners. The hardest question for me to answer is, "What is your favorite food"..... I really don't have "A" favorite food... because I truly enjoy eating a wide variety of cuisines. I decided to start this blog because I'm tired of hearing my facebook friends complain about me uploading food pictures every other week. Why not channel these pictures into a more effective mode of communication like a blog... and there you have it... the birth of Chow Bella! Enjoy!.... or should I say... Bon Appetite!
