Guys,Valentine's Dinner Is the Place to Try
New Foods and Experiences
by: Bobby McDonald
If you're like most of us, you're tired of the snow, by now, the "winter blues" have got you down, and you're looking for some place to go, special, for that Valentine's Day dinner! Guys, now is the time to "put on the charm" and experiment with something that you don't often do! Drag out the suit and tie, and comb the area for a different type of restaurant, and yes, even though you are "meat and potatoes" sort of guy, it's the time to spend one night, eating some foods that you possibly wouldn't order any other time. You want to "wow" her with atmosphere and give her the opportunity to go back and tell all of her friends about the great place her favorite guy, took her for this Valentine's Day. Trust me, you'll escalate in her eyes and the eyes of all her friends! You'll be the talk of the town, all next week, and win all kinds of points with her, so she'll allow you to go on that hunting trip with the guys, next weekend! It's a win - win situation!!!
We've included some great photos to "get you in the mood" for the kind of place she will like, as well as some food that might make this Valentine's day, even more dazzling! Impress her with how much time you've spent on knowing what to order!

Candlelight is always appropriate.....

Red roses are a must.....

Make certain there is a bottle of great wine, if she
likes wine.....

And, pair the wine with some great cheeses that the
maitre 'd will recommend.....

Oysters on-the-half-shell are great, if she likes them........for an appetizer

And, a fancy shrimp cocktail will "fill the bill" if she don't like oysters....


The salad course comes next and remember to "work your way in" using the forks
that start on the outside....

Steaks are always appropriate for the entree......with sides of freshly steamed
vegetable and loaded baked potatoes (and you'll like them too)....

Atmosphere is important.....

Decadent desserts are the perfect way to end the evening.....


Liqueurs are the perfect ending served with the dessert.....

And, a box of chocolates scores big points for the evening....
Take her dancing or to her favorite movie theater, and you're
almost "out the door" on that hunting trip next weekend, with the boys!!!
