filet mignon
This expensive, boneless cut of beef comes from the small end of the tenderloin. The filet mignon is usually 1 to 2 inches thick and 1 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. It's extremely tender but lacks the flavor of beef with the bone attached. Cook filet mignon quickly by broiling, grilling or sautéing. See also BEEF; SHORT LOIN.

I'm in Chicago right now, for our friend Sam's wedding. I'll write more about the trip as a whole later, when we're back home, but so far it's been pretty great. Food-wise, last night's rehearsal dinner was amazing. It was held at Smith & Wollensky, which is just across the street from our hotel. For dinner, I had a 14 ounce filet. That's right. Fourteen ounces. And Cooper's prime rib was the size of a large baby.
After dinner last night, I wasn't sure I'd eat again for at least 24 hours but somehow, I'm hungry again.
