The flavors of fall have been on the agenda all October long at Foxwoods, during the casino's month-long Extraordinary Eats celebration. This weekend things get especially tasty at David Burke Prime Steakhouse as the celebrity chef known for his whimsical, theatrical style is on hand to host several epicurean events at his Foxwoods location.

Clambakes, steaks, and more

Things kick off Friday night with a Connecticut clambake featuring locally-sourced seafood cooked the way we all love it -- clambake style. Tickets are $99 per person and dinner is served at 7:30. Saturday night, Burke's prime, dry-aged steaks steal the show for October Prime & Wine, a multi-course dinner featuring wine pairings from Moet and other distinctive vineyards. Tickets for this dinner are $115 each and seating is at 7:30. Wind down with the Chef's signature brunch on Sunday, featuring prime rib, a seafood bar, and a free David Burke 5-inch Santoku knife for each guest. Brunch runs from 10 am - 2 pm and is $39 per person. Reservations can be made for all the weekend's events by calling 860-312-8753.

This weekend I will be looking forward to, and attending, the Saturday night steak dinner. The seafood starters including an oyster and shrimp Rockefeller and a crackling calamari Caesar salad have piqued my interest. Having dined and adored meals at David Burke Prime before, my mouth is watering for the 40 day dry-aged sirloin steak. The huge aging room that is on site is sure to provide only the best cuts and cures that are available.

The rest of the month features additional events such as a slider smackdown, a sushi and saki dinner, and a bourbon dinner featuring Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris. For more information, go here.

Foxwood's is not Rhode Island. I don't think they're really even a tribe. Promote GolocalPov. Stop this nonsense.

Thanks for the feedback Jonathan. In (just under) 3 years I think this is my 3rd piece that talks about an event at one of the CT casinos. Trust me, I am all about promoting the amazing restaurants we have in Rhode Island... if there is an event at one of the casinos that I think readers would enjoy I'll do a piece on it. Beyond that you can expect all of my coverage will be squarely where it belongs - Rhode Island. Thanks
