Suddenly had the urge to try seafood again after a long resistance since 2007. You see I almost died or that’s what it felt like when a tiny thin bone stuck to my throat. Everything in me said, “Don’t panic. Just die looking cool.” Good ole calm and collected death. I was thinking sophisticated, but my face had already turned purple. In 2016, I tried seafood again at a small restaurant inside a casino off the Las Vegas Strip. My dad’s favorite spot. This time I had lobster. Damn it, that lobster was good. Big, steamy, red juicy lobsters with warm glistening melted butter. My parents are lobster people. They don’t have lobster claws, but they enjoy the crustacean. They changed the game for me. So in honor of this foodie holiday, here’s what I’ve got for you: the tastiest restaurants to celebrate National Lobster Day on September 25th–minus any near death experience.

OYSTER BAR

Here’s the thing: I wanna eat this. Executive Chef Bradley Manchester need a hand in the kitchen? I’ll be the person testing the food in the back. With a ladle spoon in the pot.

LE CIRQUE

Me: Hi, could I order the lobster. Thanks. Server: is the Japanese kobe steak with foie gras, shaved truffles, a two pound butter poached Maine lobster tail in lobster sauce, lobster caviar, 24-karat gold leaf, and bone marrow topped with deep fried potato fondant, ok? Me: Ugh, I guess. If that’s all you have. Jokes aside this dish is insane and amazing all the same time and you can find Le Cirque inside the Bellagio. Located: 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109. Hours: Tuesday through Sunday from 5PM to 10PM. Closed on Monday’s.
