If you live in Tampa, you know about Bern’s Steakhouse [4]. Hell, if you live elsewhere, maybe even across the globe, you probably know about Bern’s Steakhouse. A Tampa staple, Bern’s has been on the best restaurants and best steakhouses lists from every newspaper and online review that I’ve seen. If it’s not number one, it’s very close to the top. It’s a long and hard road to beat Bern’s.
Obviously, being a steakhouse, they are known for their steak, but to consistently reign supreme on culinary favorites lists, you have to pretty much make everything really great. My go-to meal is the delmonico steak and it comes with french onion soup, onion strings, vegetables, and a salad. There are so substitutes when purchasing one of these meals so my norm used to be to just go with the french onion soup. After all, I love french onion soup so much and they make it so very well.
However, let’s talk about lobster. It is National Lobster Day and that’s why you’re here, right? Although I can’t sub the french onion soup for the lobster bisque at Bern’s, I have just started to pay the $10.00 extra for a bowl of the stuff. Never did I think I could love a soup more than french onion (everyone knows I enjoy french onion so much, I get friends and family asking me where they should go to get some of it, or how it tastes at a particular restaurant).
But the Bern’s Steakhouse Lobster Bisque is out of control. I mean, it has supernatural forces. It’s made of magic. It’s the perfect blend of sherry and cream, lobster and bacon. I can’t even pretend that I can replicate it. What I can do is make my own, and then, be pretty freakin’ pleased with the results.
It’s futile to even attempt the lobster bisque from Bern’s so, if you live in Tampa or just visiting and you have $10 to spare on bisque, this is the place for you (to be honest, the smallest Delmonico steak meal is about $65).
Enjoy National Lobster Day! I know I am.
