 It’s time to get cracking! This Wednesday, September 25, 2024, Thirteen by James Harden, the chic Midtown Houston restaurant owned by the NBA superstar himself, is celebrating National Lobster Day in style—and at prices that won’t pinch your wallet. From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., you can indulge in two signature lobster dishes designed by Thirteen’s culinary mastermind, Chef Sidd, without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re a seafood connoisseur or just looking to spice up your midweek, Thirteen promises to deliver a dining experience that’s as luxurious as it is approachable. And with Chef Sidd, an internationally acclaimed chef known for blending American cuisine with playful Japanese influences, at the helm, you know you're in for something truly special.

Lobster & Luxury at a Steal

For one night only, Thirteen’s National Lobster Day specials will have you swimming in flavor without sinking your budget. First up on the menu: Lobster & Prawn Dumplings, a decadent combination of lobster and prawn encased in delicate, handmade dumplings, drizzled with yuzu aioli, butter, ginger, and garlic—all for just $18. It’s a dish designed to make your taste buds dance.

But the real showstopper? Thirteen’s Steamed Lobster Tail. For just $27, you’ll get a succulent 7 oz. lobster tail bathed in ginger and garlic butter sauce, served alongside lime fried rice. It’s everything you want from a lobster dish—rich, buttery, and satisfying.

A Fall Menu Full of Surprises

While lobster may steal the spotlight this Wednesday, Chef Sidd’s newly unveiled fall menu offers a treasure trove of other culinary delights. Fancy a little bit of everything? Check out the Sharable Hot and Cold Plates*, like the bold Hot Fried Shrimp with Sriracha aioli and Thai basil, or the delicate Oysters served with ginger foam and mignonette.

Steak lovers aren’t left out either. Thirteen’s trio of Shio Koji & Miso Marinated Steaks includes a premium selection like the 8 oz. USDA Black Angus Filet Mignon, the 8 oz. USDA Bone-in Ribeye, and the ultra-luxurious 14 oz. Wagyu New York Strip. And with Chef Sidd’s signature flair—think charred Bok choy, pickled onions, and perfectly balanced flavors—you’re in for a steakhouse experience like no other.

Feeling adventurous? Don’t miss out on the Chilean Sea Bass or the Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops, two fan favorites that have quickly become cornerstones of Thirteen’s acclaimed menu.
