1. Grilled Prime Ribeye from Gianmarco’s
Starting off with my personal favorite meal of December… and maybe ever. The Grilled Prime Ribeye is served with brussels sprouts, mac and cheese and gorgonzola butter. If I’m treating myself to a nice meal in The Magic City, Gianmarco’s is where I’m headed and this is what I’m ordering. Look at that butter!
