re: Maison Lacour

ML and Chef Jetty are my BR favs, along with Fleming's, and Mansur's. ML's soups, salads, steaks, veal, and tournedos, all are delicious. If in more expensive digs and location, or in Nawlins, Chef Jetty would be a star..

But, I'm glad they've avoided those pressures and trappings, that can and do catch up with some great chefs, especially in fickle BR..which has burned Maci, Parola, Brandt, Distefano, etc..as many talented and classicly trained and pedigreed chefs, when being bad businessmen and/or renting expensive digs, caught up to the often overzealous ones.
