Everyday Systems

Some of Indy's downtown restaurants are currently participating in Devour Downtown to showcase the restaurants and get people who might not go downtown for a meal to go downtown for a meal. Each restaurant has special meals for this event all at the same price.

Last night my daughter and I went to St. Elmo's. We picked St. Elmo's because neither of us had been there and it's one of those places everyone should go to once. She's moving to Boston in just over two weeks, it was our last chance to go out together for a nice meal before she leaves.

The food was outstanding. If it wasn't the best meal I've ever had, it's close to the top of the list. But the thing I noticed was the proportion -- half of the plate was vegetables with one-quarter each meat and potatoes. I'm sure the portions were smaller than if we'd ordered off the regular menu, but they were just right.

It definitely ruined me for other steak houses!

Wow, really? I will have to stop by there next time I am in Indy. Thanks for the recommendation.

It's very pricey, but it's worth it.

How wonderful! Over size portions completely ruin dining out. Sat. night Mr. Morning and I have reservations at a slow food place on our weekend away http://www.cornexchange.com/

I have already picked out my entree.

I hope I'm not becoming a food snob. I do confess to becoming more particular, especially with regard to mass produced food. But really, a good meal is a wonderful thing.

The Corn Exchange sounds interesting.

I don't know that I'm becoming a food snob, but I'd much rather pay a lot for a really good meal with high quality food than have 5 that feature poor quality food.
