Do you celebrate Sweetest Day? I had personally never heard of it, but apparently on the third Saturday of October, Midwesterners and Northeasterners celebrate with those people that make their life “sweet”. Sounds like a great idea to me! In honor of Sweetest Day, Black Angus has a special offer going on this weekend, October 18-20. D and I had a sneak preview of the Sweetest Day Dinner For Two last night.
Every year, the “Sweetest Day,” October 19, celebrates random acts of kindness and spreading love far and wide. This year, Black Angus is celebrating by turning the sweetest day into the Sweetest Weekend!
Next weekend, Oct. 18-20, Black Angus will be offering a $47 dinner deal for two, including an option to add a bottle of Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon for $10.
Black Angus Steakhouse is a classic American Steakhouse that has been in business for 55 years! According to our waitress, the location we visited in Santa Ana has been around for about 45 years which is quite amazing in a time when restaurants seem to come and go.
The dinner has an optional $10 add-on bottle of wine: Century Cellars Chardonnay or Canyon Road Cabernet Sauvignon. D went with the Cabernet and said it was very nice.
Black Angus is known for their Molasses Bread, and I can see why. It is warm and soft and has just the right amount of sweetness.
We tried two Steakhouse Starters, the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and the Crispy Fried Garlic-Pepper Zucchini. *I believe that the deal actually includes one appetizer per table, as shown in the first picture in this post (I do not want to mislead anyone, so please check with your server).
The Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail is an excellent choice if you want something on the lighter side. The cocktail sauce had a nice little kick to it.
If you are looking for something more filling, the Crispy Fried Garlic-Pepper Zucchini is the way to go. It is so good dipped in the housemade cucumber dip.
Each person has a choice of an entree and two Classic Sidekicks. D chose the New York Strip, garden salad and loaded baked potato.
I ordered the Ribeye (+upcharge), fresh green beans with bacon and fresh broccoli with garlic butter.
We were really satisfied with all of our choices and we ended up sharing so that we could try everything. The steaks were cooked to our liking (medium) and we ended up having to take some of the leftovers home.
A Sweetest Day celebration should end with a sweet dessert, right? We chose the Sky-High Mud Pie (fudge-swirled mocha almond ice cream in a chocolate cookie crumb crust) and it was an excellent way to end our lovely meal together.
