Heads up, everyone: It's not too soon to start planning Valentine's Day dinner. You'll already be ahead of the game, however, if you plan to enjoy a gourmet meal to-go from The Butcher Shop at B&B Butchers & Restaurant.

The lavish, three-course meal (sides included, of course) is available Thursday, February 13, through Sunday, February 16, with a 24-hour notice. Light some candles and enjoy a cozy, romantic dinner in the privacy of your own home — you can even pick up a beautiful floral arrangement from John Friedman Flowers at the same time (these masterpieces require 48-hours prior notice to prepare).

Each made-to-order meal-for-two includes your choice of two appetizers, one large entree, and two desserts. Start with lobster bisque, Caesar salad, B&B meatballs, or Chef Tommy's famous Bacon Box, then share either a 20-ounce chateaubriand, 20-ounce beef Wellington, or two 10-ounce filets mignon. Roasted Brussels sprouts, creamed spinach, and B&B mac and cheese are also included.

For dessert, linger over chocolate cake, New York cheesecake, or an artisan cheese selection with truffle-infused honey. A box of chocolate-covered strawberries is also included with the feast.

Each two-person meal costs $130 plus tax, while the flowers come in three pricing tiers: $85 for a bubble bowl of six roses, $155 for a bubble bowl of 12 roses, $155 for a bubble bowl of 12 pink roses, and $195 for a dozen long-stemmed roses. You can view photos of the arrangements here, then call 832-767-4828 to place your flower order.

If you really want to go out on the town, B&B Butchers does still have a limited number of tables available but reservations are going fast. Wow your date by having flowers waiting at your table when you arrive.

Unlike most eateries, which just make their regular menu available, The Butcher Shop at B&B curates special occasion meals, platters, and other spreads that bring the taste of this acclaimed restaurant home. So if you miss this one, be sure to check back for summer holiday grilling packages, plus decadent Thanksgiving and Christmas to-go menus later in the year.

Call the restaurant at 713-862-1814 to secure your dine-in reservation and order flowers to be on your table, or call the Butcher Shop at 832-767-4828 to place your take-out order.
