Memorial Day Feasting on Surf and Turf

Memorial Day Feasting on Surf and Turf

By the Memorial Day I had already done the burger thing, the hot dog thing, even the soul food thing. Such a beautiful day called for something special…..

Kumamoto ( a petite oyster with a creamy briney flavor) Oysters on the  Half Shell with Lemon Zest Infused Cocktail Sauce as well as Fresh Squeezed Blood Orange Juice

 Kobe Beef Steaks topped with Sautéed Shitake and Oyster Mushrooms with a splash of Cognac, Grilled Lemon and Blood Orange Marinated Mexican Shrimp (so large and so meaty they almost reminded me of grilled Mexican lobsters) , Roasted Corn on the Cob (done the classic way with a ton of Fleur De Sel, fresh black pepper and loads of butter), and a simple Mixed Herb Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette.

That day was a good day!!
