Happy Birthday Jevon


i took jevon to the arroyo chop house for jevon's birthday. he's never been, and so far it's the best steak house i've been to.

birthday boy gets what birthday boy wants - the "james bond martini"
it was not listed in the menu but the bartenders were able whip it up for us. supposedly there are two different recipes, one from the book, and another from the movie, with just a slight difference between the two.

medium rare fillet mignon. so tender it felt as though it crumbled in my mouth.

now what's the difference between a porterhouse and the cowboy porter house you wonder?
the cowboy porterhouse is bone-in, and as jevon, the steak connoisseur explained, the meat around the bone is more tender.

hama hama washington oysters - so creamy and sweet, mmm. i wish we had ordered a full dozen. i wish i had some right now. i've only had oysters with lemon but the contrasting colors of the lime and lemon gives the otherwise dull oyster grey dish, an overall eye pleasing color.
