John Thomas!!!

I went to Ithaca this past weekend to visit my alma mater, Cornell, with my best brosky, David Ho! So of course, I had to go to my favorite digs: JOHN THOMAS STEAKHOUSE. And yes, I went with my gf, Angela, and David! Boy did I forget how much I missed this place...as you will soon see:

* This was the appetizer. The dish with a plethora of onions is a smoked trout with onions and capers. To the right is Calamari with a Chipotle Aoli.

I must say, that smoked trout was FUCKING DELICIOUS...especially with all those onions. It was an orgasm in my mouth. And I hafta say that the calamari was one of the best I've ever had...I actually used the dipping sauce for once...if that says anything....

* This was our dinner. To the left is the Porterhouse "Lover's Special" for 2 (40 oz.), and the dish on the left is a big, juicy T-Bone steak (27 oz.)

Angela and I shared the Porterhouse Lover's Special! It was soooo fucking delicious...but it was a lot in that both Angela and I did not finish the dish. We left two pieces...but it's ok because I devoured those remaining pieces later in the evening. David also fared as poorly, in that he devoured one half of his steak before you could count to 10, but he couldn't finish the other half. In fact, I don't think he even touched it.

Our side dish of Garlic Mashed Potatoes was sooo yummy as well. You could actually taste the garlic...and I think it's one of the best garlic mashed potato dish I've ever had.

* Oh. my. god! This chocolate cake was delicious. A little powdery, but still delicious...a true testament to the master skills of the master chef!


So all in all, after eating here, I've decided that John Thomas is my 2nd favorite steakhouse in the world...only after Casa De Mama Lee. But yea, who would've thought that a steakhouse in Ithaca, New York would beat out all the fancy schmancy steakhouses in Texas???
