Weekend dining review

The #weekend is upon us. Every Friday we will be bringing forward some interesting, fun, and often different things to do for the weekend! Now locale, and weather is always an obstacle, but that may just means you have to add a road trip to the plans!

Today we review #SurLaTable. Sur La Table is a premium Cooking establishment that prides itself on being the "Art and Soul of Cooking". The first location opened in in Seattle in 1972, and over the years has spread to nearly 100+ stores!

Now if you are just looking to make an ordinary restaurant experience... this isn't it! The best part of the Sur La Table is its intrinsic nature to the Kitchen and cooking process. After visiting a location in City Centre in Houston's Memorial area, you quickly become entranced with the myriad of cooking supplies. The best example is a happier mix of a Williams-Sonoma and a Pottery Barn. Albeit with similarly priced gadgets! The cooking utensils aren't cheap. But the "coolness" factor will still have you spending $40 bucks for Chef's Torch!! Now keep in mind I have never made ANYTHING requiring a torch, but since I now have my impulse buy.... I shall!!!

Now after tearing myself from looking at other utensils that I never knew existed, I made my way to the back where the true essence of Sur La Table shines- The cooking class and experience. Now depending on your outing, they can accommodate. Want to impress a date, they have the special dinner for 2. Have the kids, they have a class that explains why the egg is so wonderful! Girls night out, try the Tuscany experience! Even Pizza making, Grilling, and seafood is their!! Let your imagination run free and experience all there is to offer!

Date Night at the Chef's Table was my party's course, which was extremely fun. The 4 course meal which we prepared and ate was extremely tasty. As always, I wanted more (hey, in Texas, we want more!)The class lasted a little over 2 hours. Coupled with an evening Movie, and it felt like we did MUCH more than "Dinner and a Movie". This was a great experience out, but it was just that, an experience. This is probably not the place you would come to weekly, but at once every 4-6 weeks is good enough to keep the appeal going! I really enjoyed it
