I hate going out to dinner on Valentine’s Day, so I’ve been working on some Valentine’s Day cooks. 

Anyone else planning on firing up their Egg for a romantic cook?

    Looks great. And pro move on the aphrodisiacs.

    When I was much too young to be hosting women for dinner, I had my now-wife over for homemade ham and asparagus crepes with a cheese sauce. Pretty sure that’s what locked it in. 

    This year, some 22 years later, we were toying with the idea of a restaurant, but haven’t yet made a reservation (we love sitting at the bar, which means we often don’t have to). However, we may do surf and turf at home. Still waffling, so it might be a game time decision.

    Those oysters look and sound incredible.  I might need more details on those!

    Super easy. For the Spicy Tequila Oysters- compound butter made with chipotle, red onion, garlic, lime zest, cilantro. Put oyster on grill with some or the compound butter. Cook direct for maybe 2 min. Finish with a splash of your favorite tequila and cilantro. 

    The others were just oysters cooked for 1 min, then I pulled and finished them with Wagyu fat through the screaming hot Flambadou. 

    Both were amazing!

    Beautiful, each dish deserves its own thread! Did the steaks get the Flambadou kiss as well?
