Lobster Summer at The Keg

written by John Chow on August 8, 2007

Profit from binary options

Tonight we went to the Keg Steakhouse for Lobster summer. Until August 19th, all Keg locations are offering a tempting variety of your favorite lobster dishes. The lobsters are shipped in from the Atlantic coast and there are five lobster menus to choose from.

The Keg is one of my favorite dining spots. I used to eat there every Sunday night but lately haven’t had time to go as often as I would like. I guess this is good thing. Dining at the Keg too often can add considerable weight to the body. Greg Morgan and his girlfriend Linda joined Sarah, Sally and myself for the Lobster Summer.

Steak & Half Lobster

This was my dish (Greg and Linda ordered the same). A tender top sirloin cooked medium rare, with a fresh half Atlantic lobster. Served with hot butter, lemon and a Caesar salad. Very few combinations go together as well as steak and lobster!

Now this is what I’m talking about! Two pounds of sweet and succulent lobster, served with hot butter, lemon and a Caesar salad. Sarah couldn’t finish it so I had to help her. The lobsters at the Keg were very good. However, they’re not as good as the ones served at c restaurant.

Dinner for four (Sally doesn’t count) came to $220 with drinks and tip. I’m almost a little hesitant to post this dinning adventure because the last time I wrote about eating a lobster, some people got mad at me because I disrespected the lobster.

I saw that red lobster, then ate at Red Lobster :twisted:

Where I live, "The Keg" is the big undergrad bar. Although every single time I've ever gone by there, it's been completely empty.

P.S. reading the RSS has its advantages ;)

My extra entry for the 4-Hour Workweek contest !

Lobster....hmmmmmmmmmmmm!

You know something John, I'm on a seafood diet; whenever I see food, I eat it!

Comment for The 4-Hour Workweek :mrgreen:

I love the Keg Steaks - Lobster just makes it far better!

I miss Red Lobster. You would think living on the coast I would eat more seafood, but it's still too expensive here in Townsville, Australia.

Which location did you go to? I think the Keg in Burnaby is really nice, they have a great view.

yum yum lobster meal!

Oh, well. Here we go again.

Yum! Er.. noth that I've ever eaten lobster or anythng, but it sure looks tastey :)

Maybe if I win the book, I'll be able to taste lobster first hand! lol :)

I never tasted a lobster... I am kinda scared of prawns, lobsters and crabs...

I am happy with white healthly Chicken.. :D

Btw this comment also doubles up as my 3rd entry for the Book..

I insist all readers to subscribe to John Chow dot Com RSS feeds.... *Never miss a post*

Here's the fourth entry to the fourth contest.

How can you disrespect a lobster?

The lobster should be honored to be in John's table :smile:

S.W.A.T. broke into that lobsters house! DISRESPECTED his whole family!

i love and hate your food posts.... i love them because they are always so great. i hate them because i cant easily get to bc to enjoy them.

oooo.... i good contest for you john: 'win dinner with john chow in bc' with round trip air fare and dinner with john chow ;)

and enter me one more time for the book.

That's actually a darn good idea! It would be interesting (and tasty) for sure.

Thats disgusting. I'm a Veg. :D

You bastard! I bet you've even eaten artichoke hearts! :shock: :mrgreen:

It looks very nice and 4 dishes for $220 is not bad price.

Tag. I am in for the book :)

I used to work for Keg Steakhouse in Seattle area... it was actually my first job, where I started in high school as a dishwasher, and was promoted to a management position when I was 20. I remember putting in 60-70 hour weeks (not quite 4!), but the food was fantastic... managers got to eat for free! I stuck it out for 4 years before it was time to move on.

Must...Win....Boook..

Readnig the full feed RSS does this post no justice. I want some of that surf and turf!

The dinner looks good, I'd have my steak cooked well done, though... I read the full feed rss :D

No way! Medium-rare is the way to go.

IMO, well done is like partial RSS feeds, they are better than nothing but not nearly as good. :wink:

Now that's a dinner to eat while reading a good book! Hmmm... maybe I can win a good book!

Steak and Lobster. Yummmm. :lol:

John,

What camera do you use to make pictures of all your food/restaurant endeavors?

I like to make pictures every time I dine at a restaurant but people always give me funny looks when I take the shot.

I use a Canon SD300 for the restaurant pics. It's nice and small.

Looks tasty... we don't get food like that out in Japan :cry:

This one was dead, I guess.

As for the last lobster post, nothing to worry about: John is on top of the food chain. That's how nature (God, the universe, etc) intended it.

I read JohnChow's full feed RSS :smile:

I just had a 2 lb. lobster a couple nights ago. One of the nice things about living in New England :)

Yummy, but I would like the 4HWW much more!

Do you think you could outsource your posts without anyone knowing? If you haven't already, the posts with spelling and typos I know are yours :-p

I'll enter the 4 hour work week drawing via RSS.

I don't eat anything that comes from the water. I do enjoy reading though. :wink:

definitely :twisted:, good way to get a bunch more comments on an unrelated entry :)

Totally agree, Rich. Is it evil or brilliant or both?
