I know that no one wants to read the same restaurant review but I went back to Lou's last week and it was GLORIOUS. Like a teenager in love for the first time I want the world to know how I feel.
I don't need to tell you about the deliciousness of before so if you want to know about the first time, go fucking read it yourself lady.
(I am currently reading the menu to remind myself of everything I shoved down my gullet and my tongue is totally bonering up at the words on the page.)
1) Beef Carpaccio, Parmesan and Arugula - this was the last thing I ate - but I cannot stop thinking about it. What a pièce de résistance. The moment I placed this incredibly delicate yet rich and smooth beef on my tongue I was reminded of that scene in Boyz in the Hood, where that lady is all - you got some rock, you got some blow, Man, I'll suck your dick! If you replace rock and blow with beef carpaccio and a little arugula with the ever so subtle hint of parmesan and olive oil, you might have yourself a deal. Just gorgeous
2) Mel's Mussels - Whoa. Mussels are easy to fuck up and simultaneously difficult to perfect. These were as close to perfection as I have had in the landlockedness of Denver.
3) Cheese Plate - Fuck me gently with a chainsaw or a cheese plate. That doesn't even make sense, but I will say, go eat a cheese plate at Lou's and you will probably speak gibberish by the end of the meal.
We ordered some happy hour items as well. As I said before, I don't normally like crabcakes but I couldn't keep my filthy paws off them and so we ordered a few, plus the sausages. Don't get me started on those delightful combinations of dignity and elegance. Just eat them. Seriously.
The cocktails are fucking gorgeous and CHEAP! $5 for a sazerac people. $5. I should have said that in the beginning. I mean - that is the happiest hour of all happy hours.
I cannot believe that this place wasn't crowded. What the fuck is wrong with Denver?
If you live in Denver and you do not go to Lou's you are dumb and I will not like you. If you do go to Lou's you will probably see me there.
