Dining out for the holidays
By Jet Hall
If your plans this holiday include going out to dinner, then we have
a suggestion for you. Florida Women Magazine and a few colleagues
experienced first hand the Holiday Menu at the
Chowderhouse Restaurant located at 36626
SR 54 West in Zephyrhills, just behind the Amscot
store.
The 5 Course Holiday dinner began with
a choice of 3 appetizers, a cheese platter
filled with an assortment of cheeses, perfectly
cooked coconut shrimp or 3 basil infused
meatballs in a light sauce. That was just the beginning
of a great meal! Next came the salad,
a house salad that was more than just lettuce
or for the more health conscious, a tender kale
salad with roasted, flavored pecans, shaved
carrots, cubed cucumbers and cranberries
topped with a light vinaigrette.
The third course consisted of their popular
Lobster Bisque or Clam Chowder. By then, we
were wondering how we were going to manage
the main course! But we did. The Turkey
was dressed with a cranberry stuffing, my side
choice was the pureed sweet potatoes. My
colleague had the Brown Sugar Cured Baked Ham with peas and pearl
onions. Someone else ordered the Jumbo Shrimp which they described
as... melts in your mouth. There were other seafood options available too,
and additional sides to choose from.
After that, we had our choice of “mom’s”
homemade, and I mean homemade desserts, but
we all chose the creamy pumpkin cheese cake
drizzled with caramel pecan sauce. So light, not
too sweet and highly recommended.
Beer, wine and their new signature drinks
were flowing, (mine was the cranberry with vodka),
accompanied by a lot of laughter and good
times. Most of us finished off with coffee and all of
us left with boxes of “take-home” meals, not meant
for the pooch at home, guaranteed.
Service was quick, friendly, warm and casual
and not rushed! So, if you dare to do something
different this year, visit The Chowderhouse Restaurant
and enjoy their 5 Course Special Dinner that is
only available on special occasions, and this was
one of them.
