re: Will be going to Bourgne next week
Posted by TheOtherOne on 1/31/12 at 2:24 pm to AlleyCat
I went to Borgne a couple weeks ago. I had the oyster spaghetti which was simple but very well done.
The duck poppers were definitely a must.
Someone at the table orded the stuffed flounder and she pretty much devoured the whole thing. I guess that is a good sign?

Such thing as a 3 hour Osso Bucco?
Posted by TheOtherOne on 1/10/12 at 9:58 am
Is it possible to make a really good Osso Bucco in less time than 6-8 hours?
I have a slow cooker and want to experiment on a 3-4 hour version of Osso Bucco.
Anyone have any suggestions/recipes I could play with?
TIA

re: The 10 best Mid-City restaurants?
Posted by TheOtherOne on 11/30/11 at 2:39 pm to LSUAfro
To get off burgers ad back onto the thread, I agree with most of these.
As some people mentioned, Ruby Slipper, Katie's and Venezia's should be on here.
OP mentioned Cafe NOMA was D Brennen, it's Ralph Brennan.
I grew up on the same block as Mandina's and now live 2 blocks away. The food is still good, but I must admit that I miss having men that looked 100 years old being our server.
I don't want to rag on Neyow's because I do eat there fairly often, but Mandina's is better. Neyow's is definitely cheaper though.
Also, love that you included Lola's. They are great.
No mention of Mona's on Banks? I grew up on their food. When I'm craving something greek, that's what I want.
That is all

I'm at the Bulldog in Mid-City a lot. I got at least once a week.
I walk my dog over there and when it isn't crowded they occasionally let me go in the back patio and close the gate and let him run around.
I live closer to Finn's and I know I can bring my dog there (I have a couple of times), but I'm just stuck with going to the Bulldog out of habit I guess.

re: Best thin crust pizza in Nola?
Posted by TheOtherOne on 6/16/11 at 9:20 am to Lester Earl
Thye LA Pizza Kitchen on Carrollton is still open. I ate there about a month ago.
My vote is the POTA at Theo's as best pizza though.
Had Slice Monday. Better topping selection there, but the crust is better at Theo's.

I bought it from Rouses for Endymion last year. It was pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again.
It's definitely a fun novelty to fool around with. And yes, it was a lot more potent than you would expect.

Oh, and McDonald's breakfast always makes me want to vomit not matter what I get. I would rather go hungry.

This guy has a point. I laughed because I recently went to Irene's and was making jokes about the wait.

Heritage Grill (Ralph Brennan's Chop's replacement)
Posted by TheOtherOne on 4/5/11 at 3:04 pm
Went for lunch today. Pretty much a combo of all the other RBRG restaurant items with a couple new things that will probably be at Cafe B.
It was fast and very well priced. I think it's a good replacement.

Yea, but I was planning on walking. I figure Oak St. Cafe serves it, but I go there all the time and don't remember seeing a red bean special. Then again, I probably don't go on Monday's very often...

Rivershack is far, but it is the best option as of now...

re: Sauces for Salmon

I can understand why you want to change it up a bit with a sauce. If I only had the opportunity to eat it a couple times, yea I would just grill it on the cedar, but the same fish over and over, no matter how delicious, can get old.
I like to marinate it in a sun dried tomato vinaigrette and bake it with some spinach on top.
I don't have my recipe on me, but it's very simple.
Every time I have made it I received good reviews.

Irene's Review
Posted by TheOtherOne on 3/23/11 at 12:10 pm
Sorry it's long. Bear with me.
Went last night with a friend. We had reservations for 7 and knew to expect a wait.
Checked in and were able to snag a table near the piano. I ordered a dirty vodka martini and my friend got a water. Martini ended up being straight vodka and 2 olives. I drank it anyway, but I can only imagine the "dirty" was not added.
We waited for 45 minutes, but since we were expecting the wait and we had a table we were enjoying ourselves.
I never even looked at the menu until we were seated because I knew the staff was hauling arse and I knew we were not going to be rushed. We started with the Oysters Irene and the Escargot.
My friend had never tried escargot, so it was fun watching her try to figure out what part was actually the snail. She said it all tasted like mushroom anyway. While it was very good, I think it should be sold more as a stuffed mushroom with escargot than an escargot dish.
The oysters were great. I loved the bacon, of course. They were also full of oyster liquor, which is the best part.
I ordered the Duck with a glass of the Angeline Pinot Noir and my friend ordered the Cannelloni.
The duck was incredible. The skin was crispy where is needed to be and the meat was tender. The raspberry demi was not too sweet to take away from the duck, which I find happens often at places that go overboard with toppings.
The cannelloni was good as well. She found it very rich, and couldn't even eat half of it. I took a few bites and had to agree. The besciamella was extremely thick and didn't even look like a sauce. The flavor was good though.
Dessert was bread pudding and tiramisu.
I'm not a dessert person, but she was talking about dessert before we even got there, so I ordered the tiramisu.
Both were good, but I can't review desserts because that's about the most I want to reflect on it.
We were blown away by the check. We thought it would be much much more. Great surprise.
Service was very slow, but when the waitress was available, she was attentive and knew what we needed. They were just very busy, so I understood.
Overall, I really enjoyed it and would go back again. I think there are other places I want to try first though.
