Sing Us A Song

Or perhaps sing us a few dozen. It may cost you a fiver’ (per song),but hey its worth it. Rest assured, you’ll get all your live requests satisfied at the Piano Bash. While you’re at it, try the eats and drinks as well.

 

For the time being, I’ll be recommending the deserts and appetizer’s, but they do offer entrees as well. If you’re in the mood for sweets, you should go for the table side smores. They are served with your very own mini fire pit so you can prepare your smores as you see fit (ensuring the right mix of chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers). If the savory side is more your taste, I recommend the mini grilled cheese with tomato bisque or the fried macaroni’s.  Either is cheesy awesomeness. Almost as cheesy as the the many renditions you’ll hear of your 80′s and 90′s  favorites.

Steak and Eggs

Posted in Bellevue on March 7th, 2011 by eblack

Ok, so maybe its not your everyday steak and eggs. It’s more like medallions of beef tenderloin and deviled eggs. But one thing is for sure, it will be the best you’ll have on anyone’s happy hour menu. I’m speaking of course of John Howie’s at the Bravern.

If you are ever in the Bellevue area and you’re looking for some steak (even without eggs), this is the place to go. As for me, the beef tenderloin marinated in soy and tangerine pair deliciously with the deviled eggs topped with truffled bacon. If you fancy a beverage to go with, I recommend “My Favorite” martini. It’s actually called that by the way.

UPDATE:For those who are going to John Howie’s to sit in the bar area, I recommend you avoid sitting at the piano. To do so could result in you being squeezed in with 10 of the piano player’s best friends. This is fine if you want to get to know everyone around you very well. Not so good if you came for a nice dinner at one of Bellevue’s “elite” dining venues.

Bourbonzola

Posted in Bellevue on March 3rd, 2011 by eblack

So tonight I had a hankerin’ for a good burger. As luck would have it, I was near one of my favorite watering holes (Rock Bottom) which also happens to offer one of my favorite burgers, the “Bourbonzola Burger”. This burger is perfect for any one who loves something a little out of the ordinary. It’s served much like any other burger with your favorite side (I recommend skinny fries). Where things go a bit off the beaten path is in the toppings.

The toppings are few but the combination is quite delicious. We begin with crumbled blue cheese and add some thin and lightly crispy onion strings. Last but not least, is the Bourbonzola sauce. Don’t confuse this sauce with a BBQ sauce. Its more of a bourbon reduction which is much thinner than your typical BBQ sauce but still slightly thick. The resulting combination is something that is both a rich and savory and full of flavor. It pairs well with their seasonal Belgian Tripel which is currently on tap.

If you’re in the Bellevue area or near your local Rock Bottom, I recommend you give it a shot.
