Last night’s dinner was such a treat. We ate at StripSteak inside Mandalay Bay. It was absolutely ridiculous. We tried three different grades of beef last night: Prime, Kobe, and A5. They also make foie gras sliders (mini burgers) and specialize in Rib Cap (otherwise known to me as Outside Rib Eye). On top of that we had some pretty cool appetizers, sides, and fried dessert. Apparently Karrie (Kev’s wife) knows a lot of people in the industry because their general manager came out to greet us and we got complimentary champagne and duck fat fries. The service was also very good. When the main courses and sides came out, it took about 4-5 people to carry it all out at once and each dish was explained with great detail. It’s also one of those places where they refold your napkin each time to get up to use the restroom. Here are some photos of the dishes. I must say this was a very indulgent dinner. (The photos are a little grainy because of the low light and no flash.)

It was rather large but I shared most of it with the table.

Man, it’s probably time for me to detox this week with a bowl of oatmeal per day…maybe two.
