Spring is coming to an end. The water in the creek has been very high for the last couple of months but it's finally receding some. Up until now there have been water moccasins everywhere and scorpions in the yard. It's like the food is just automatically coming to us. But with the water receding the moccasins are hard to find and the scorpions are back in the creek bed. So no more moccasin stew for dinner. Man hunting them was so much fun though. Life is going back to normal again.
The wifey decided she had eaten enough moccasin for awhile and determined I was taking her to some high falootin food. Being the smart man I am, all I said was "Yes ma'am". You know I am just entirely too good to her. So she has been listening to the high falootin folk we run into who talk about all of these fancy grub places. After considerable research she decides we are going to Capital Grille for dinner to celebrate. Now this is one of those places you can't just drive up in your jalopy and park it up on the curb. No, they have valet service so they park for you, for free. Yeah that's a joke. Also, don't be showing up in your best overalls right after you have cleaned a mess of fish and your favorite muddy boots. This is high falootin, so Sunday go to Meetin clothes.
No card tables, paper plates, plastic forks. The real problem is there is a hardware store of knives, forks and spoons. Which one should I use. Also, everytime I use one they take it away. I don't really like this game. I don't want to get rid of my hardware until I am fully finished stuffing my face.
I order a wedge salad to start with bread. Now I guess it is a cool thing to just cut a head of lettuce in quarters and put a quarter on a plate and scatter some fancy dressing on it. But come on, take a few seconds and cut up the lettuce instead of giving me a hunting knife to cut it up. And if they knew how good I was with a huntin knife they wouldn't give me one. Of well, it was fun cutting up the lettuce. Now the bread is a different story. You would think in a fancy place the bread would be incredibly good. And you would be wrong. The first piece of bread had a strange spongy consistency and tasted like spoiled cheese. The next piece looked like a normal roll, except if I ever go back, I am taking my circular saw with me to cut the bread open. Man that was like a rock. I ate it anyway. The next piece was a dark brown and was decent, not real good, but decent.
When it came to entree's I didn't understand half of the things on the menu. The menu didn't have any real good fiood like mudcat or crawdad tails. After studying long and hard I settleed on the salmon. At least it is a fish product. The salmon was very tender and it came in a citrus glaze which added a little flavor, but at what it cost, I want it jump off the plate and make me go wow that was good. Not gonna happpen. It was ok though.
For the finish line I ordered a Warm Apple Tart. This was like apple cobbler with a scoop of ice cream. Finally some good fixins right here. Man this was so good and it was plenty big. I ate myself into oblivion.
At the end I called my banker and got a bank loan to pay the tab. We did the scuttlebutt out of there before they kicked us out.
Overall, it was a good meal. But considering the level of restaurant it was kind of disappointing. We have been to a number of these kind of places. The wifey keeps dragging me to them. And all of them have had better tasting food. It wasn't bad by any means, just not to level they think they are.
