Lawry's April Special

Who can pass a great deal, especially April's special at Lawry's Prime Rib. Dinner for two for $99.00 includes the spinning salad, a 6 oz. California cut prime rib with Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, choice of side which for me always has to be the creamed corn, a bottle of their private reserve (Cabernet or Merlot) both very good wine. All that plus their new dessert; a chocolate cart with chocolate, fruit and cream enough for 2 people.

Before the meal, we all indulged on the meatballs and homemade potato chips. I keep meaning to pack some salt as the chips are really quite good but lacks salt. Oh well....we ate them anyway.

There were 19 of us. Everyone had the prime rib except for our one vegetarian friend. She was very happy with her salmon. The prime rib was cooked to every one's satisfaction. The 6 oz.cut was big enough for everyone. It was delicious as ever with the creamed horseradish and the Yorkshire pudding which swept our plates to absorb the aus jus. The creamed corn was pure heaven!

Dessert was a chocolate cart just like stainless steel cart that keeps the prime rib warm. It was good but hard to eat. If you use a knife to cut it to pieces, you can almost guarantee to witness a scene from a movie wherein the food flies off the plate.

The evening was a nice celebration of friends and family getting together; something we must all do more often and what better place to celebrate than Lawry's in Beverly Hills.

Little Maisie can't wait to have her share of prime rib!
