Page 3: The Great Steak Page 3 of 4 
Called "The Great Steak", the filet served at the cafe is sliced an inch and a half thick and seasoned throughout with sweet red onions and a dry rub. The steak is then seared at high temperature in a cast iron skillet to help the flavors develop to full intensity. The resulting entree has a nice and crispy exterior while the inside is exceedingly tender. Carmelized onions contribute a a strong flavor accent while lending a sweetness and texture to the beef. The Broccoli Salad is a surprisingly good complement to the steak given its sweet and creamy nature. The sweetness of the mayonnaise dressing helps the salad to be a refreshing flavor change from the savoriness of the filet. The garlic mashed potatoes are thoroughly infused with butter in a way that would make the French proud. The rich and indulgent potatoes work extremely well with the steak by giving it a roundedness that helps to balance the dish as a whole. 
Micah's snapper employs a filet of fresh Gulf Coast red snapper coated in seasonings and herbs and pan seared with sweet shrimp and tomatos. The resulting dish is an interesting flavor combination of Italianesque and French style cuisine. The tomatoes lend a tanginess that is reminescent of the acidic nature of the lemon in seafood entrees. The shrimp lean toward the sweet end of the spectrum and helps to lend both texture and a succulence that accents the flavor of the snapper. Please click below to continue to scope out the Pies!-
