I'm a little surprised. They just announced a couple of weeks ago he would be in the next season.

| Making a Spec's run. What should I look for - timbo on 5/20/13 at 11:08 am
All,
The Missus and I are going to Houston for Memorial Day weekend. We're going to tour the St. Arnold Brewery, eat good Mexican food, visit some museums, go to IKEA and hit Spec's.
Any recommendations on what I should look for beer wise? I planned on picking up some Dales Pale Ale, some vari...

| Where can I find a whole turkey breast in BR? - timbo on 3/24/13 at 6:35 pm
I wanna smoke a turkey breast for Easter. I went to Whole Foods and they were expensive - like $40 for a breast. Went to Albertson's and no luck. Does any place have turkey breasts? Or should I just be prepared to pay up?
TIA...

| Randazzo's Italian Market in Denham - timbo on 3/2/13 at 3:55 pm
We went there for lunch today. I had never heard of the place, but it was really good. We split a ravioli special with Italian ham and an Emilio sandwich. Had a tiramisu for dessert. It's worth a visit if you are out there....

| Garfish balls? - timbo on 2/15/13 at 11:30 am
When I was a kid, garfish balls with rice and gravy were a Lenten staple in the school cafeteria and in plate lunches. Is there anywhere around Baton Rouge that sells garfish balls in a plate lunch?
There's a little grocery store in Morganza that sells raw garfish balls. I tried cooking them once...

| Hog backstrap recipe ideas? - timbo on 12/26/12 at 4:17 pm
Got a couple of hog backstraps from the in-laws on Christmas Day. Look like they both weigh a pound or so.
Any suggestions what to do with them? I tried Googling "hog backstrap recipes" and the results were a little grim -- such Food Board favorites as marinating in Italian dressing or stuffing ...

| What to do with this - timbo on 12/24/12 at 11:35 pm
My wife bought me a growler of Stone 12.12.12 for Christmas. It's just over 3 quarts and as tall as a small child. When should I crack in to it? Too bad LSU isn't going to a marquee bowl and the Saints didn't make the playoffs. Lord, I may just invite a buddy over one weekend when she works and do s...

I'm trapped at the office and got to thinking, based on a thread about Walk-On's. What is the best sports bar you have been to?
I gotta go with the late, lamented Village Sports Pub in Biloxi, Miss. Hurricane Katrina knocked the place out, although it looks like they tried unsuccessfully to reope...

| Red Star closing down - timbo on 9/6/12 at 4:05 pm
Sad news. Any bar that doesn't have a TV set and has T-Rex and Guns N' Roses in the jukebox is a good one in my book.
Red Star, the scarlet-hued Laurel Street bar that opened shortly after downtown began its current resurgence, will cease operation under the stewardship of Frank McMains on Sept. ...

The Missus and I went over to L'Auberge Baton Rouge yesterday to check out the new casino. It is a very nice place, up there with the nicest places on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and miles ahead of the casinos in Baton Rouge. They must have an amazing air filtration system, because for a while I thou...

I'm going to Mississippi over Memorial Day weekend to hang with the future in-laws. We may go over to Jackson for a day. I was thinking about heading up to Hobs & Habanas. Is it worth the detour? Will I be able to get good stuff there that I couldn't find in Louisiana?...
