HI HI!
Dinner out, as I have explained has very high expectations attached for me. I always except a tasty meal. I understand the concept of a pub meal and really do appreciate the home-cooked meal at a pub and a restaurant. In this case, the mighty steak brought this feeling on board. Last night I was late finishing an appointment and the intention was to go home afterward and cook dinner (had no idea what) and lounge around. What actually happened was that the boys were going out to the pub for tea as they generally do on a Wednesday night as they insist that it the new Thursday (Which is the original new Saturday) and I got invited! So off to the Commercial in Warragul we went.
The most challenging but most exciting part of going out to dinner for me is deciding what to have. It is a stressful, anxious, expectation filled, thrilling experience because it I know that the decision that I make will determine how I will feel about my meal. So much goes into choosing a meal, do you go for the traditional food that you know is good, do you choose the meal you would have cooked at home, or the meal that you would love to cook, but know you wouldn’t have. I went for the Porterhouse Steak with Veges and mushroom gravy, which is something that I most likely would have cooked at home so I was really hoping that it would be fantastic. AND IT WAS! So homely and hearty. The steak was perfectly medium and the veges were perfectly traditional and complementary J A happy girl! The boys went the famous Chicken Burger which has been labelled as the Wednesday burger and becoming the fast replacement of the Parma! This Chicken burger is really truly delicious, which I put down of course to the combination of the ingredients, but mostly I put it down to the choice of Mayo. It is all in the Mayo! Good mayo is really such a success and different to that of mediocre mayo.
So all in all, everyone had a brilliant dinner and I can’t stop thinking about it! A good steak is definitely the way to an aussie girls heart. Appreciation needs to be given to a well cooked and tasty steak. I can’t think of much more disappointing than an overcooked steak (if you haven’t ordered it that way) and poor excises for sides. That’s the feeling that generally steers me away from steaks on the menu unless I have had a good experience prior. Such a deal breaker!
The best part of it all way that our friends that is generally behind the bar serving us was actually joining us for a meal! The other best part was that we learnt that they have started to do TAKEAWAY MEALS at lunch and dinner times! (see link below to their Facebook page).
So as you can tell, there were many best parts to the night, and isn’t that what we all desire in a casual dinner out with friends?
