One Year On The Road Celebration!

 St Louis, MO

Kreis' was less photogenic than most old red leather steakhouses so we took a selfie in front of the bar.

Celebrating at Kreis' Steakhouse

Today we celebrated 1 year on the road by going to a local steakhouse for Prime Rib.  In previous posts where we tried local BBQ we came to the conclusion that if we are going to buy "expensive" meat we prefer Prime Rib so we put that theory to the test at Kreis' Steakhouse. We were right!  We prefer Prime Rib over BBQ.  It was a very enjoyable dinner.  We have a few Prime Rib places to compare the experience to.  Our favorite is still House of Prime Rib in San Francisco.  You can't beat the spinning salad and the Yorkshire Pudding.

Just an old steakhouse on a US highway in the suburbs of St. Louis.

For our appetizer we got the the finest thing stuffed with the 2nd finest thing, Shrimp stuffed with Crab.  They were delicious.

Normally when we get Prime Rib we like to have the bone attached so we can snack on it at home.  The King Cut here includes a bone and this is what we used to get at House of Prime Rib so that is what we got here.  It turns out that the King Cut is comically large.  Sadly you can't really tell from this photo but it's about 2 inches thick.  It's much larger than we thought it would be based on our experience, the price, and the fact that they had an even larger cut.  

The Fred Flintstone sized Prime Rib persists in our refrigerator in almost the same form that you see it here.

This shot of happy Donna kind of shows off how large this beast is.  It also came with sides!

We did a better job finishing this cheesecake.  It too was delicious.

It was a great meal and a great celebration.  If you are in the area and want a true King Cut of Prime Rib check out Kreis', you won't be disappointed.

I took a few more photos while running errands today so here they are.  They aren't as celebratory as giant photos of meat so I put them at the end.

We drove to the suburbs to buy some yarn today.  Turns out all of the yarn stores in St. Louis have closed and there are only a few scattered around the Greater St. Louis Area.

I went to the liquor store because we needed Sake for an upcoming recipe.  We are Illinois adjacent so of course there is a tiny 6 pack of Malort for sale.  More on this spirit when we get to Chicago!

Since I was at the store I decided to pick up some local Gin.  It's very good.

That was our adventure for today.  Tomorrow visit another St. Louis institution, The Budweiser Brewery!  If you missed our visit to the Gateway Arch yesterday you can read about it here We Visited the Worlds Smallest US National Park!
