As you’ll see from the Weekend Roundup this week, there is no shortage of ways to spend the Valentines’s Day weekend, whether single or attached. I’m always a sucker for a Dirty Sweet performance, and while Jimi is stuck being my date for part of the weekend, I like to cook for Andy and will likely whip up this Chocolate Torte for his return.
Here’s a sampling of Valentine’s Day ideas for you and yours — and be sure to check out Jimi’s post on local-centric Valentine’s ideas.
The Classic
Valentine’s Day Dinner at The FireHouse, available Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 13-14.
Risotto Croquettes — or maybe Lobster-stuffed Mushrooms to start, share the Phoenician Baked Trout or dive into your own cut of Dry Aged Strip Steak, and don’t forget a signature Black Martini for dessert!
The Steal
Valentine’s Day Steam Pot Special at Joe K’s Brewhouse
This Sunday at 4 p.m., get New Orleans Steam Pot featuring Snow Crab Legs, Clams, Shrimp & Smoked Sausage for just $19.99 at Joe K’s Brewhouse.
The Where I’m Taking Intern Jimi
Valentine’s Day Prix Fixe Menu at MoMo’s BBQ & Grill
Hi, how ’bout handmade Chocolate Pierogies filled with Marscapone & Sweet Potatoes and topped with a Cherry Chili Sauce to start, maybe a Cocoa-dusted Smoked Cornish Game Hen served with Cheesy Potatoes & Sweet Cream Corn and finished with Whiskey Wiggle Cake, a mini-Bundt cake with a whiskey pecan sauce. Yeah, I thought so. Oh, and you get a free bottle of Champs! (We’ll prob drink beer though.)
