The next entry in our frantic catch up is all about the AMAZING dinner we had at Robert Krause's in home restaurant. An establishment that is sadly closing down so he can have his home back. It is the epitome of fine dining here in Lawrence. For those of you who don't know, Eric and are what some call "foodies" we LOVE food. We watch Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, and the chopping block for the pleasure of seeing real chefs cook. We make attempts to create our own top chef masterpieces and often take pictures of the well crafted food we cook. So when Connie decided to come to Lawrence to celebrate her Birthday at Krause's we jumped on the bandwagon as fast as we could. It was a celebration dinner, we celebrated Connie's birthday, the Neutebooms buying a house in Lawrence, the Averill's many theatrical successes, and getting Eric and I out of the house for an elegant meal. Since we're talking serious fine dining here, we got a sitter for Isabella and got all dressed up. And since we got dressed up.... We had to take pictures. However, we knew just pictures of us are in the past, they are way more fun with Bella so here we are all dolled up and Bella in her pink overalls that may just be one of my favorite outfits!

After pictures Stephanie ( who is practically family at this point) came over to watch Bella and headed to Krause's. The food was to die for. We sat in the dining room ( the actual one in the house, not the restaurant!) and had at least a 7 or 8 course meal. The Kobe beef, and black cod were two of the courses that still stand out in my mind. It was the best meal I have ever had and I don't think it could possibly be recreated. We felt like royalty and serious V.I.P's.
Krause is now closing the house restaurant down but we are so thrilled we got the chance to go. He's starting a new place downtown and I look forward to watching him bring the culinary arts to Lawrence.
That's how we put the BOOM in Neuteboom

We LOVE Krause! It's very convenient that we live right around the corner from them but unfortunately, we can't afford to go as often as we would like to. We're definitely looking forward to checking out his new restaurant downtown and continuing to go to The Burger Stand to get our Krause fix. :-)
