"51 Lincoln" news and stories

There's something rather odd about putting those two words together, eh? "Watermelon Steak." It's like saying "Chocolate Potatoes" or something.

But this is something that's actually growing in popularity. You cut the watermelon into slices (removing the rind) and cook it in a roasting pan (350 degrees) with sherry, butter, and salt and pepper.

Now, it certainly has that steak look, but I wonder how it tastes, exactly? I would assume it's very tender and sweet, with the salt and pepper giving the watermelon a certain kick. At 51 Lincoln in Newton Highlands, MA serves it with a confit of tomatoes and eggplant.
