Friday I had dinner with Mr. Insomniac's partner/boss and a bunch of the boss's friends. One of them was the president of an organic food company, so we chatted a bit about organic food and my whole June challenge. He gave me his card, and I told him that I'd link it to my blog. But then I lost said card. Oh well. Anywho - I love a free meal. I also love a free meal at a restaurant I wouldn't normally go to/pay for.
Enter Crustacean.
It has an aquarium under the floor! A stream that snakes it way through the bar area with koi fish! People love that.
It looks like this:
But with about a hundred people milling around, college grads with their parents gazing at the floor, a four member band playing Marvin Gaye, and waitstaff all dressed in black. Strangely enough, with half of Los Angeles in that restaurant, I didn't see any celebrities. No "Ursher". Wait a minute - that's not true. Some Laker dude was there. It wasn't Kobe, so no one really gave a damn.
I thought about getting a salad (plants). But then I said (but not out loud) - hey, I can order a $50 entree and someone else will pick up the tab! So then I went with the signature dish:
Whole roasted Dungeness crab with "garlic sauce and secret spices" prepared in the "secret kitchen". Nothing says carnivore like breaking open the leg of a creature with a nutcracker (or crabcracker) and slurping up its meaty garlicky insides.
