I know he’s controversial, but personally I like a lot of his food, and I’m glad he keeps opening new places in New Orleans.

Nola doesn’t really have any good meat and 3 places that I’m aware of, it’s not a big thing.

Maple Street.

quote:

At a meat-n-three, the format is spelled out in the name, and the style of food is familiar through tradition. But given the names behind a new one coming soon to the Uptown neighborhood near the universities, you know it will be a bit different.

Hot Stuff is set to open in the weeks ahead at 7507 Maple St. It’s the latest sibling for Turkey and the Wolf, the Irish Channel restaurant known for its creative sandwiches and the droves of people who line up to try them.


quote:

Hot Stuff is designed for quick service and aimed directly at lunch, with opening hours of 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Breakfast or nighttime service are possibilities in the future, but there aren’t immediate plans along those lines now.

For instance, the hamburger steak will be hamburger steak au poivre, with the French peppercorn sauce. The green beans might get a dose of miso, and garlic chile crisp will finish the roasted cabbage wedges.

Fried chicken is set to be a mainstay, from a recipe Barfield and Hereford and their cohorts developed with a marinade of buttermilk and hot sauce. Red beans and rice will naturally be on the line on Mondays.

“This is a combination of the way I grew up, eating back home and living in New Orleans, experiencing plate lunches and fish fries,” Barfield said.

The counter where you pay will double as a bar, with a uniquely DIY approach. You can order your spirit and then take it over to the soft drink fountain to fix your own mixed drink.

They can't help themselves with throwing in a goofy gimmick.

I don't see that as a gimmick, that's some old school potluck stuff.

Put a shot in a cup and fill it up. I like it, was my favorite thing in the article

Sucks you are missing out then. Molly's is one of the best breakfast spots and T&TW is solid even if overyhyped. The wedge salad is

Someone like you would never accidentally stumble into any of them, don't worry.

Meat and three? Is that some kind of redneck or hipster terminology for a plate lunch?

Was looking at the location and just realized that Maple Street Patisserie permanently closed down.

I know they weren’t the best bakery in the city, but I always had a soft spot for them.

Do colleges kids want to eat meat & 3 for lunch?

Idk

But everything they do is solid. This is my least favorite idea on paper

They are known as plate lunches or hot plates.

Yeah I know, but the only really good one I can think of is Chicken's Kitchen in Gretna

Doesn’t change the fact that there aren’t many of these places in Nola

Yeah I enjoy their food. I would say my tolerance for hipster nonsense is low, but they have substance behind the marketing.

This should be good.

this is his 4th restaurant and you have to give him credit for investing in the city.

I just don’t show up at his Palestine rally dinners.

Meat and 3 is usually a more compact cafeteria. New Orleans meat and 3 (hot plate) is served in styrofoam to go. Birmingham/Nashville meat and 3 is served on plates to be eaten at a table with waitresses.

NOLA used to have a small handful of places like this downtown (Commerce, P&G, Hobnobbers) but they've all either shut down or retooled into something a bit different - Commerce, for instance.

I always just heard them called "lunch places" never "meat and 3" or "hot plates."

Sucks that there really aren't any more.

Piccadilly is a “meat and three”

There’s a bunch of hot plate lunch spots in the area. They aren’t cafeteria style meat and three though

It looks like Catty Car Corner is still open in the CBD off of Poydras.
