on the vast land of the great plains in central America, the relatively sparse population makes the city look low and vast. Although it is the 17th largest city in China and the largest city in Tennessee, Memphis has never tried to show its density to people. It always spreads its modesty in a low-key way, preferring people to drive on her road with more conceit and enjoy the natural scenery like a forest park here.
By Memphis Highway, where pedestrians are never seen, glowing buildings and huge billboards are magnificent against the backdrop of sunset glow and blue sky. Rough and beautiful lines outline the landscape of American third-tier cities, which brings slow-paced comfort to the mind. After a busy day, the body begins to yearn for elegant and comfortable chairs, soft and romantic lighting, leisurely and decent music, and most importantly, the food that people can't stop ~~
1 Ruth's Chris Steak House
Memphis's prestigious high-end steak chain store can meet all the above requirements in one shop! The warm color is not too dim, and the candle lamp on the dining table is like a warm fireplace, which brings people a sense of stability.
A gentleman waiter politely asks about the arrangement of drinks, appetizers, main courses and desserts and gives appropriate suggestions. As a result, the protagonist of a western-style dinner finally appeared one after another ~
Shrimp, as an American favorite dish, was impressed by the ideal of Forrest Gump's good friend in the military camp, and listed various cooking methods of shrimp. After listening to these dishes for many years, I finally got a taste of the cooking level of American shrimp, and naturally concentrated on watching its color and taste.
as a typical appetizer, the first shrimp dish is mainly composed of tender prawns with elastic teeth, lined with orange cream sauce and decorated with chopped parsley. It is another perfect dish of aquatic products and sweet oranges, which is fragrant, chewy and delicious, and slightly sour has also played an appetizing role, making the next dishes more delicious.
another dish, which is mainly shrimp, is served on the table at the back of the main course, with a group of dragons playing with pearls, and chopped parsley is still sprinkled on the shrimp and the cream in the middle. Because of the addition of chives, the greasy aroma is thicker. After the main course is hot, juicy and heavy oil, a mouthful of aquatic products rich in protein and vitamin A is particularly mild, which also lays a good foundation for the next dessert.
besides prawns, there are also delicious foods made from lobsters to arouse your appetite! Sprinkle a lot of lobster meat on the soft buttered cheese, like red leaves on the snow. Wrap the slightly hard lobster meat with soft waxy cheese, and the taste of lobster and the sweetness and softness of cheese are wiped out.
besides shrimp, salad is indispensable as an appetizer. The salad in this shop uses hard cheese similar to Xinjiang milk tofu, which seems soft but not soft, like hard cotton candy, full of milk flavor, with seasonal vegetables and sauce, and the nutrition is also switched between fresh and high heat.
As a soup that is almost a must-have for western food, the thick soup used to accompany bread in this shop can't be defined by any ingredients, such as cheese, eggs, cream, pumpkin, chopped parsley ... but the taste is not particularly obvious, but it is a proper match with bread. Of course, everyone certainly doesn't want to be full before the main course is served, so they just "taste it", and when the main course is served, they forget its delicacy for nine nights ~ < P > When the main course is served, they explain to the diners the truth that "steak doesn't cover its face" with the image of "being totally embarassed". When a piece of medium-cooked is just right, the taste of external spices has already driven straight into it.
cut a piece and put it on a hot plate. With the sound of "Zila", the meat is moderate in hardness, and the taste buds are filled with milky sauce, black pepper, thyme and other spices, which can let diners know the difference between elegant enjoyment and mediocrity.
a table of exquisite dishes is accompanied by champagne or red wine, and the dining process is quiet but intense. In a quiet atmosphere, intense foods with high heat are alternately filled into the stomach, and it is inevitable that desserts are urgently needed to bring special refreshing taste ~ < P > The combination of caramel pudding and fruit can not only make phytochemicals in the fruit supplement the nutrients lacking in a dinner with prawn meat as the main course, but also bring refreshing taste after the main course through the sweetness of caramel but not greasy.
It would be a very wise choice if you let cheesecake, a typical representative of western desserts, make a fairy-tale finale for dinner.
Like a small house made of delicious cakes and surrounded by chocolate gravel roads, the roof is covered with snow made of cream cheese, which makes people unbearable to destroy it. But when you taste it for the first time, you won't care about the appearance. The aroma and crispy skin of cheese make people taste its inner beauty, which is better than its lovely appearance ~ < P > As one of the top restaurants in Memphis, the price here is about $1/person. Compared with the income and consumption in the United States, the cost performance ratio is actually very high. You can enjoy not only food and wine, but also the elegance and warmth of American high-end culture.
2 Folk's folly
If the population of Memphis is less than that of a larger county in China, there is definitely nothing unique, then you will never think that there is the only Steak House in the world-folk's folly.
the lighting of this restaurant is even dimmer than Ruth's Chris, but the family-style interior decoration gives this dim feeling of home, which increases the desire to focus on the current food.
In some single rooms with retro style, the waiter enthusiastically and politely recommended his famous lamb chops. After serving them, it really didn't disappoint people ~
The spices similar to other grilled chops and the distinctive transparent green dipping sauce are not like a crispy and tender Memphis local mutton, which brings people a taste that is not tender, hard and lasting.
except for the lamb chops, the T-bone steaks here are equally excellent. This steak is characterized by softness and tenderness. This T-bone can be cut freely for everyone to share under the roasting of medium-rare. After the entrance, it is not stuffed with teeth. The smell of beef permeates the mouth like melted chocolate, and it tastes like lamb tripe stewed for several hours, which makes people want to enjoy it again and again.
I have tasted Ruth'sChris's delicious cheesecake, and I hope to compare it here. However, it must be said that this cheesecake is not as good as the former in terms of the softness and hardness of the cake body and the grounding degree of the cheese aroma. Of course, the highlight of a famous Steakhouse focuses on the taste of the main course, and the demand for desserts is tantamount to nitpicking ~
3 The Capital Grille
As a high-end restaurant awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award by the American Cuisine Association, the service of The Capital Grille Memphis store in major cities in the United States has not been disappointing. The domineering expression of the stone lion at the door seems to be the expression of the United States, but because of the gentleman's bow on its chest, it becomes like devil wears prada O () O
The lights here can be described as warm and dim, and the arrangement like bedside lamp at home makes diners feel relaxed and open their stomachs to release their appetite.
The reason why we won the award of outstanding achievement here is that the service here will meet all the needs of diners as much as possible. Waiters are very patient about whether the seat position is satisfactory, whether the plate placement conforms to the dining habits, and the recommendation and explanation of each dish in the menu. It seems that the family members are caring and attentive to themselves, which makes diners more open to chatting and dining. No wonder the popularity here is overwhelming ~
The dishes are good, and the freshness of the food ingredients here is also obvious. There are crabs and shrimps, fish and shellfish in the appetizer platter, especially lobsters. They are simply cooked, with red shells and white meat, which are just right, and the meat is not firewood. When the spoon is lightly touched, they will come out of the shell, and the taste is smooth and chewy. It is rare to eat the whole appetizer except salad in American restaurants. For example, the shape of this dish ~ poached eggs is reminiscent of Julia Child's. Tomatoes and eggs can be used as perfect side dishes of hard bread. They are cool and delicious when eaten in your mouth. After a few days in American high-calorie food, you really can't stop ~
The main course of The Capital Grille is big!
any main course takes up at least half of a plate with a size of 12, not to mention the huge T-bone, which almost occupies the whole plate! Of course, the taste is not lost to any other steakhouse ~ the soft and juicy calf waist, the perfect taste of fried juice and spices in the meat, and the fragrance of auxiliary materials. T-bone is a rough and unrestrained American style, tough and chewy, and it really fills the stomach!
Romantic Memphis is more suitable for high-class steak and wine ~ Simple folk customs and delicious food will make you relax, believe me, that's right!
