Reasons can be many and varied for selecting a specific dining spot. Affordability can be a very good benchmark for choosing an eatery, as is reputation, word-of-mouth, cuisine type (of course), and much more. "Reliability" lends itself to reputation, and that led Lucille and me to select Longhorn Steakhouse (690 Route 46 West, Parsippany, New Jersey, 973-257-9230, www.lomghornsteakhouse.com) during a recent "Date Night." Reliability, and a photo of a menu option I saw on the restaurant website. I'll do photographic justice to that meal in just a bit.
I'll tease the reader first, choosing to disclose the meal choice I selected last. Pictured above is Lucille's freshly ground, 10 ounce chop steak. Topped with sauteed mushrooms, with crispy onions, au jus (Lucille's choice; it's normally topped with rosemary garlic sauce) and baked potato on the side ($13.99), it was highly recommended by Michael, our server for the evening. Good -- make that efficient -- servers know what's best to recommend. I began my meal with an excellent Caesar's salad, and ordered a glass of red wine as a partner to my selection. Now for pictorial dedication to the meal which was on my mind from the afternoon on, a good 5 hours prior to our evening excursion: a superb $14.49 Napa grilled chicken. There are a few fresh chicken breasts in there, with mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and roasted tomatoes, all bathed in a light chardonnay butter sauce. Alas, the butter sauce does not cause a bloatness. I can spell "Satisfied!"
Wow! Thanks, Michael, and thank you, Longhorn Steakhouse. Also, before the reader consider us insane, we do plan on returning for a steak from the Legendary Steaks portion of the menu. Steve
