A picky eater with lots of allergies and her foodie husband review The Chocolate Avenue Grill
Dan’s Dish
Garlic Steak and Shrimp
Kisses of Garlic
The nice thing about eating out with me is I’m a cheap date. Dan always takes advantage of this and pays no attention to prices when he orders. I never complain because I figure my meal costs a fraction of his so it sort of evens out. Plus he does all the driving so whatever the man wants the man gets. Dan began his meal with Italian Wedding Soup which he described as very flavorful with garlic and herbs after adding a packet of Oyster crackers,. He then dove into the Garlic Steak and Shrimp right before I could snap a picture. Dan is the opposite of me – he likes his beef medium rare (which I refer to as still mooing) and I like mine deader than dead, but somehow we make our marriage work. After our most recent and gravely unfortunate dinner experience, Dan exclaimed that his steak and shrimp were absolutely perfect and was very happy to have a better dining memory. The filet was a bit small, but it’s a filet…I don’t think they’re meant to be large. The shrimp were a decent size and had been sauteed in a nice garlic sauce.
Sides
Dan’s meal also came with asparagus, mashed potatoes, and some sort of weedy salad that was a little too frou-frou for his liking. This surprised me since he is a person who enjoys asparagus and other green edibles. I really don’t see any difference between weeds and little trees, but Dan did and left the salad on his plate. He did mention that the asparagus was a bit soft and that he prefers it al dente. I simply nodded my head and pretended to know what he was talking about. He then gathered a spoonful of mashed potatoes and eyed them carefully before playing ping-pong with them between his cheeks. On the plate, the potatoes were visually appealing, but once in his mouth, the microgreens got in the way and Dan felt like he was eating potatoes and flossing at the same time. To me, this is just one more reason to stay away from food resembling little plants.
