We made our way to
Stanton Social last night for Curtis' birthday dinner. The vibe was trendy but still inviting. A little crowded, but cozy. The plates were shared and it made for a fun experience. We got to try so many things - thus, our conversation of the evening often came back to the food we were tasting. There were some winners that I would def. go back for! Thanks again to fellow bloggers for the photos. Here was our meal (out of order):
Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Ravioli: vanilla brown butter & candied pecans. Since these were on the sweeter side, eating one ravioli was enough.
Kobe Beef Burger, Pulled Pork Slider, 'Kobe Philly' - truffle & goat cheese fondue. (You could smell the truffle on the Philly for miles! SOOO inviting!!)
Chai Crème Brulee spiced 'misfortune' cookies. This was okay (nothing special).
Social Mac & Cheese - chorizo & ovendried tomato. Holy hell. I could've dived into a bowl of this. The breadcrumb topping was a nice touch and the smoky flavor from the chorizo made it special. It was very heavy though - great for sharing!
Maryland Jumbo Lump Crabcake 'Corn Dogs’. I bit into this expecting a hot dog (I didn't know what it was when it got put on the table). I was pleasantly surprised to learn I was eating a crab cake. Very yummy!
Hot Chocolate Mudslide Shot: patron xo, bailey's & homemade marshmallow. This was probably my favorite dessert. Very yummy chocolate and WARM! Mmmm!
Warm doughnuts. Fresh doughnuts are always a winner. The dipping sauces were divine as well.
The Stanton Social Beef Wellington: grilled filet mignon, foie gras mousse & mushrooms,wrapped in puff pastry. Again, another rich dish - perfect for sharing. The foie gras really elevated this dish.
Grilled apple & brie Quesadilla: with mustard- maple syrup and smoked 'bacon bits'. Another crowd pleaser. Yum-o! 
The Red Velvet 'Twinkie' cream cheese - crème fraiche filling. Creme fraiche really elevated this dish! Kurt and Charlie split the
Guinness Toffee Cake toffee sauce & bailey's ice cream (not shown)
Zucchini Tempura - tomato jam and asiago. (Gotta fit in a vegetable somewhere!)
French Onion Soup Dumplings. They lived up to the hype. We ordered two of these. :)
Curtis' misfortune
Red Snapper Tacos - creamy avocado & spicy mango. Out of all the dishes, one of my top pleasers.
