Dinner club at The Smokin Crab

Last night, my friends and I had our first dinner club of 2012. Our dinner club is nothing fancy. Just, a bunch of great friends getting together to try different local restaurants. It isn't really about the food. It's really about spending time and having fun with an amazing group of people. Food however, is involved. Last night we visited the Smokin Crab in Uniontown.

My goal was to try to pick something healthy. I had thought about a dinner salad but the whole point in trying new places is to try the food not just the salads. I did start with a side salad and it was Fantastic!

I opted to try the creole stuffed shells with shrimp. They were in a great red sauce. While stuffed shells would not normally be my "healthy" choice, a lot of the other menu items were fried, very high in fat or sodium. I ate half which was plenty. While the food was good my best advice is to SHARE. If you don't want to overdo it with fat and calories grab the salads and split your meal, you still might have some to take home.

Our waiter was great but too persuasive when it came to the peanut butter chocolate pie. As far as desserts go, this one was at the top of my list. I made it a point to only eat a few bites, share a bite with friends and take a few bites home to PCL.

It was a great night with great friends. The food was good and the company was even better. My recommendation is if you decide to eat at the Smokin crab, share. Your waistline will thank you for it!
