Dine Out: Eat STK

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of having a ladies night media dinner at STK in Dupont.  We had an adorable booth, round table style, to eat, drink and be merry!!  The wonderful thing about being hosted is that we got to sit back and enjoy the culinary ride!!   We started off with their house made bread that comes in it's own little skillet and dripping with house seasoned butter.  Everyone enjoyed their sparkling wine, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.


After we toasted, the food began to arrive starting with the salads.  We had the mixed green salad with demi sec cherry tomatoes, aged asiago and sherry emulsion.  My main choice was the hearts of romaine, with garlic crouton and parmesan lemon dressing.



Next came the main event!! Steak of course, a strip steak to be specific, cooked medium and accompanied by a sauce plate that included chimichurri, au poivre, horseradish (my fav), blue butter (also AMAZING), bearnaise, red wine, STK and STK Bold.  Along for the ride was the delicious and juicy brick roasted chicken  with spring vegetables, maitake mushroom and jus.  My favorite though was the Chilean seabass (cause I love steak but I'm realizing I love fish more).  The seabass sat atop ratatouille, and tomato ver jus.  My dad has always told me a variation of "When in Rome" when it comes to eating out.  You don't go to a Cuban restaurant and order the burger!! So normally I'd say if you go to a steak house, get the steak!!  For STK, I will happily make an exception to that rule and say go to STK and get the seabass, it's a steakhouse with more than just steak!  The accompanying sides were the sweet corn pudding, mac & cheese and Parmesan truffle fries.  All were delicious and variations that I felt were uniquely well done!

We ended the meal with some pumpkin glazed doughnuts with bourbon sauce and caramel sauce.  We also got to try the carrot cake with pineapple filling, citrus brown butter glaze, vanilla ice cream. YUM!!

Thank you STK for having us out for such a wonderful night and thank you to our wonderful server who helped us to have such a delicious culinary journey.

SCDC Events: VIP Opening of STK DC

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of STK DC.  Since the event was being put on by the TAA PR girls, I knew that it would be a night to remember and it was!!  The line on the red carpet started at 7pm and kept going most of the night.  It was definitely a packed house of who's who in DC.

From the outside the new venue looked beautiful.  Once inside we were greeted by the STK ladies helping to host the evening and hand out adorable T shirts and kisses!  They also were handing out props for the photo booth!!

Once inside we worked our way to the bar before the crowd could fully form and got to try both of the cocktails for the night and they were DELICIOUS!!!


My favorite was the Green Intensity which was a well named deliciously spicy mixture of Belvedere, Lime and Jalapenos... YUM!! I know my way around a bar and am rarely impressed but these simple mixtures were the perfect addition to the night.  I will be back for you Green Intensity!!

While making the rounds with my girl Angelica of Clarendon Moms, we ran into Ms. Demetria Lucas of A Belle In Brooklyn and snapped a picture together.  She was nice albeit a bit reserved but I would be too if strangers just came up to me.

Now about the meat and potatoes of the event... the FOOD.  The hor d'oeuvres for the night were oyster shooters, shrimp, Tuna tar tar (pictured above), potatoes, corn pudding and burger sliders.  The VIP of the VIP were given one T Bone per table but that was the only steak I saw all night.  While most the the items I tried were tasty, I was a little surprised by the items chosen but I look forward to getting the chance to go back and try some steak!!



The DJ did an excellent job of keeping the party going with some excellent tunes! I only wish there had been more room for dancing in the crowd.  Overall it was a really great night out with the ladies and I met some great new people!

Also who can resist a good drum beat!!
