Chinese New Year - Year of the Rooster

Brunch at Jasmine for the Lucky Lion Dancers.

We came prepared to feed the lions for luck in the coming year with red envelopes full of money.

We sampled a bunch of dim sum dishes and then had lunch of peking duck two ways.

Beef and asparagus.

Greens.

And lobster.

Ruth's Chris Steak House

I was invited to try Ruth's Chris Steak House since I have never been.  I was very tempted by the non-steak selections, but decided to have red meat since that is what the place is known for.

The night's special was a surf and turf which I ordered with the rib eye.  The lobster was quite good and the rib eye was succulent with the horseradish cream.

I also added a chopped salad which had a great presentation.

The lobster and about a third of the steak was consumed with the rest in the doggie bag.

The steaks are covered with butter which I did not believe was a problem, but I did have a bit of a stomach upset so I will be need ask for no butter next time.
