Stark's grills up the absolute best steak on the planet. The 28 day, dry-aged, bone-in ribeye. Expensive, but well worth the money if you're in the mood to splurge. I look forward to trying some of their new menu items to go along with my steak next visit. Great images Heather! Gastronomically porno-riffic.

Papa Doble by Dale DeGroff
1 1/2 oz Ten Cane Rum (yum)
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz sweet grapefruit juice (I use red variety)
3/4 oz simple syrup (I use lots less or even agave syrup)
1/2 oz maraschino liquor (delish and not sweet--don't confuse with the electric red fruit)
Shake over ice and pour into a stemmed cocktail glass

As to the controversy as to use of food porn what is the rhubarb about it is a common phrase now

MMM... The new menu items sound yummy, can't wait to try them! I just wish Stark's would lower their prices a bit. We'd eat there more often if it was a tad more affordable.

Need Papa Doble now.

Heh. Thanks. Just to be clear (because I'm absolutely sure people will nail me for it), I did go over without announcing myself to eat a couple times (though Mark and Terri usually spot me immediately) and made an appointment to come photograph the food at a later date.

With that said, it was natural light, oddly enough (I'm not smart enough to understand much about studio lighting) and my old Canon 20D. I used my macro lens for some of the shots. Thanks for indulging me, john. ;)

You deserve to be stoked about the photos! They are excellent! What kind of camera and lighting did you use?

Made you click on it!

I'm being glib. You're probably right, but i'm pretty stoked about these photos, because I went over one dark and stormy afternoon to take these. I'm super impressed with their new chef (who is a soup superstar).

No offense intended, but come on...I gotta say that these pictures get my heart pumping! And no one was harmed or exploited in the making of them! I see it as a win win.

Arghh not Margarita, but Daiquiri

Recently asked for a Hemmingway cocktail (Papa Doble) and gave them a recipe. It was very good unlike the Ritz Carlton bartender who couldn't do one. I was very impressed. BTW it is a not too sweet margarita favorite of Hemmingway.

Heather, is "porn" necessary to the title. You are imaginative enough to come up with another term to describe the new menu.

@ Spin:

I'd made that same presumption when the Dow first crossed 10,000. I was told by their staff that they were honoring the happy hour prices despite the Dow's recent move into the 10,000's. Go Stark's!!!
