Yummy in my tummy

Every January and June, Indianapolis has a festival called Devour Downtown. Two dozen of the priciest best restaurants in town offer special pricing on favorite menu items. A few of the restaurants are familiar to us but most of them are what we would consider 'special occasion' places (if it costs more than $50 a plate, that's a special occasion kinda place!). And since everyone knows there is only ONE place I like to go to celebrate my special occasions, we haven't tried any of the yummy places on the Devour Downtown Winterfest list.

Until last night that is. Last night we checked out St Elmo's Steakhouse with some friends. I had fiery shrimp cocktail (they are not kidding on the fiery part!), macaroni and cheese with gouda and shrimp, house salad (the house vinagrette is a-MAZ-ing), filet mignon with mashed redskin potatoes, green beans and raspberry cheesecake. Let's just say, I was definitely not counting calories yesterday and I was in a serious food coma by the time we made it home.

The food was delicious and more than enough to fill me up, but coming in at $120 for the two of us, I must say I would have rather spent my moolah at the Melting Pot. And on the way to the car, Nate actually admitted he would have rather gone there too!
