There is no poor little matchstick girl, but there is an old guy selling [...]

Water Grill’s Holiday Recipe
Posted on11. Dec, 2009 by Administrator.
Sitting solo in my cozy booth for one at Water Grill on this overcast Tuesday afternoon, I’m feeling abundantly selfish. ‘Tis the season for rich, calming, comfort food, and it doesn’t get more comfortable than one-and-a-quarter succulent pounds of lobster lounging in a perfectly toasted brioche futon.
