Going out to eat tonight: does this sound induction friendly?

LOL! I agree. We should all tag along for support and taste testing. haha

Thanks everyone! This is an excellent restaurant, and it was actually fun perusing the menu beforehand to try and find the most induction-friendly items for dinner (and to avoid spending 15 minutes reading it there...) I'll let you all know how it turns out...

Kudos to you for checking it out in advance

I copied down the description so I can try making those mushrooms at home this summer on the grill. Mmmmmmm.

Hi everyone - last night's dinner was great. We ordered an antipasto appetizer and I had a piece of proscuitto and a piece of cheese. No wine/bread, obviously, which was ubiquitous for the entire 3 hour meal.

For my meal, I had the steak, but when I ordered the mushrooms, the server said the steak comes with green beans and polenta. So, I skipped the mushrooms as I got the 16 oz steak and the green beans (didn't eat the polenta). Everyone except me had dessert (fried dough w/ nutella and homemade vanilla ice cream, tiramisu and bread pudding). I was content with my excellent steak and green beans in butter. I did good.

I love green beans, but I can eat them at home--the mushrooms sounded to die for. I'm still drooling. I would have had to try the mushrooms.

You did great!

I know. I was psyched up for the mushrooms, but I wasn't paying for dinner, so I thought it would be a little obnoxious to order a $9 appetizer to go with my $30 steak when the steak comes with veggies. I thought the steak was a la carte so I was going to get the mushrooms as my side. Oh well. I'm definitely going to try and make the mushrooms myself this week and see how they turn out...

Just got back from the (high-end) grocery store:
large portobello mushroom caps: Check
goat cheese: Check
red pepper for roasting: Check
Vidalia onions to caramelize: Check

Two pounds of organic asparagus, but that's another recipe. Steamed with Hollandaise sauce with my Easter ham)

Yum. Vidalias are already out? I'll have to start looking. One of the best parts of summer around here. Let us know how these turn out!

That mushroom dish DOES sound interesting.........Looks like Sunny is on the case right now. lol. I once spent a month looking on line and in recipe books for an eggplant dish I had at a local kabob house. Haven't found one that's even similar to the one at the restaurant, but I'm still trying.
