I Am A Fancy Pants

I was in DC a few months back and had dinner at a fancy schmancy steakhouse that's located inside the MGM Casino near the National Harbor. Normally I wouldn't mess with joints like this but it was a family thing so it's ok. 

Bar that looks like a library...check.

Casino style booths....check.

Steak Fries with Housemade Ketchup? I do believe I will thank you very much. $10 is the equivalent of like 25 cents in this place.

NICE. They came in a little pot. Decent amount and the ketchup was awesome. There was also another sauce that I think they call "Beer-Naise". It was good too.

Very nice.

I have to say that this joint is expensive, but the service was over-the top awesome and the food was all really good. I had the hot honey chicken and it was incredible. If you ever have a chance (and the funds) to try this place, you should DO IT.

By the by, my son ate an $82 16oz wood-fired ribeye steak and declared it "Meh".

Yee Haw it's the Cadillac Ranch!

 A good while back I was in DC for a thing and I was staying in a swanky hotel near the National Harbor. There was this theme place across the street that looked hilarious so I gave it a go. It's a chain but as far as I know there are only three locations at the moment.

It looks like a tacky steakhouse in Amarillo. 

AND THEY HAVE A MECHANICAL BULL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JOINT. 

Now you have to realize that this area of DC is pretty swanky so I was not surprised that the loaded fries were priced to keep middle class people away.

But I was surprised at the insulting portion size. 

$12.50 for this. And they were meh.

DO NOT DO THIS.

The only reason to go here is to see a lady fall on her head trying to ride the bull. Which she did.
