So my hunk-of-burning-love a.k.a my hubs a.k.a. the hubster celebrated a birthday this week. Quick fact about us: I'm a whopping 3 years older than my husband. *insert cougar roar here* Anyway, we're low key kind of people these days and so I decided to take him out to a nice dinner at a popular resto here in Atlanta called Shout. Yes, the same Shout that happens to be on Scout Mob at the moment, because that's how I roll. Plus, hubs finds my fairly new money consciousness/bargain hunting ways quite sexy. To make a long story short, we had a nice dinner and here are some pics. By the way, if you're ever in Atlanta, you should check out Shout, it's a really cute spot. They also have this outdoor rooftop area that is set up cabana-ish and during the spring/summer, it could make you think you've been transported from ATL to Nikki Beach in Miami. Real nice.
The birthday boy! He feels some kind of way about being splashed across my blog...but I do what I want.
I started out with this really cute (and sweet) pear cocktail. I forgot the name but it was made up of Pear Grey Goose vodka, Pear Schnapps, topped off with moscato.
We started off with calamari. We love calamari it seems. This calamari was just oKAY. Nothing special about it which was quite surprising as Shout also serves sushi and other seafood. I've had tastier calamari from smaller less fabulous restaurants around town.
Hubs had the "special" of the day a duck breast with brussel sprouts and potatoes. I forgot the name of the dish or specifically how it was prepared, but those are the components. It was SPECTACULAR.
I had the blackened Mahi Mahi with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. The Mahi Mahi was topped with "crab butter", basically it was tasty, buttery lump crab meat thrown on top.....and it made made me want to slap my momma. Totally awesome this whole dish.
Hubs wasn't that interested in the dessert offerings, so we decided to have more drinks for "dessert". Here, I'm drinking the peach sangria. Quite tasty, I must say.
