It has been a great long while since I have posted anything. To make a long story short, my MacBook Pro died a little over a year ago and I have been without reliable technology since then. Santa decided I had been good enough this year for a replacement, so my smile has returned and my data has been recovered. Although much of 2016 has sucked incredibly, at least it ended with a mostly new MacBook Air. Lighter, stronger, and ready to work for 2017 and beyond.
Anyway, I had intended to do a series of posts on steak nights in Houston. I only managed to do one. We drove to DFW to visit family for Christmas and after dealing with horrible traffic and rain the whole drive back to Houston, something serendipitous happened. We intended to go to the downtown Spec's to grab a sandwich at their deletable deli. A quick passing glance revealed no cars in the parking lot, which meant they were closed. I've never been there when the parking lot wasn't full and Spec's is never empty.
Then I saw something. It was an icehouse looking bar with a sign out front that said steak night $10. That was enough to grab the attention of everyone in the car. We pulled into the parking lot. It was not even 5PM yet, so it wasn't packed. It was Saint Dane's Bar & Grille. We edged up to the bar and were greeted by a friendly staff. The kind of staff with a sense of humor. My husband and I ordered steaks and my son ordered the wings. No red wine, but they were nice enough to mix up a lovely margarita.
The steaks were delectable. No steak sauce needed. My sides were green beans and creamed corn. Both were excellent. I'd requested medium well because I don't care for bloody steak. It was perfectly executed and well-flavored. Needless to say, we left fully satisfied and confident we'd found a new Houston gem. We will definitely return sooner rather than later.
