I Finally Got To Try Good Beef Wellington

I’ve talked before about wanting to try beef wellington before on here after seeing it on all the various fancy cooking shows, but that it was kind of hard to find in Denver:

My wife and I found it at one place, who I won’t mention by name, but their standards were a little low and it didn’t go well. Or rather, it went very well when I had in fact ordered it medium.

I can understand how hard it is to cook a beef wellington properly, given that it’s (basically) a filet cooked in puff pastry, but that didn’t mean I was happy about what I’d gotten. That’s why, as I’ve also mentioned previously, I was excited to see that Sugar Mill in Denver served it and that they would make me some without the mushrooms they usually put inside the puff pastry if I called 24 hours ahead of time.

I was looking forward to this. Sugar Mill is the bomb, and on way more than just deserts (though those are also the bomb(.

Well, my wife and I finally got our act together, called ahead, and got our beef wellington at Sugar Mill. It was beautiful, exactly how we ordered it. Food at Sugar Mill is always amazing, but this was particularly good. It was even better to finally get to try something I’d been hankering after for so long.

I should have gone to Sugar Mill to begin with for this. I never should have tried that other place.
