Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - BlackenedOut on 5/21/13 at 2:29 pm Thats a pretty good assessment. Dining in some places is going somewhere and having lots of drinks, standing around a bar, and sharing a few bites of an appetizer. Its one reason why cities need bars and restaurants. ...

Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - BlackenedOut on 5/21/13 at 2:16 pm Agree on your example with Tabla, but there are plenty of restaurants that are both large and difficult to get to, which do very well. If the food is good, why shouldn't people go just because a space is large? And I think the Ruffino's own the building so rent would really depend on the loan ter...

Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - BlackenedOut on 5/21/13 at 2:11 pm Well the reason given on this board why Cochon closed is because they were serving food that people either a) can make better at home b) was uppity or c) was not authentic. Ruffino's has a pretty straightforward menu of Italian and steaks it appears. When it was announced Ruffino's was taking over ... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - BlackenedOut on 5/21/13 at 11:11 am [quote]As a food city[/quote] There is a huge difference, although they can exist together, between a food city and a restaurant city. For instance, I think of New York as a restaurant city, a place where restaurants thrive. Lafayette to me is more of a food city, a place where the populace is ob...

Food and Drink Board	re: Great restaurant in New Orleans to eat - BlackenedOut on 5/21/13 at 9:27 am Stella went 4 course prix fixe (with 3-4 choices per course) about a year - 18 months ago. Main driver as far as I can tell was to have more consistent kitchen expectation of courses per table and slightly raise check averages. They still do a chef's tasting 7 courser as well. ...

Food and Drink Board	re: Great restaurant in New Orleans to eat - BlackenedOut on 5/21/13 at 9:10 am Yeah but correct me if I am wrong, I think you get a choice or two or three with each course. So the gf could cherry pick things she likes. ... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Food and Drink Board	re: Domenica - BlackenedOut on 5/20/13 at 9:27 am I wasn't under the impression it was sous vide (but you may be right). I thought it was just blanched, dried, and then roasted.

Food and Drink Board	re: Wine tasting in Paris - BlackenedOut on 5/17/13 at 3:32 pm Take the TGV to Reims and tool around drinking Champagne for a day.

Food and Drink Board	re: Casamento's Tonight!!! - BlackenedOut on 5/17/13 at 9:58 am Single best oyster experience I've ever had was at a place in Paris called Huiterie Regis.

Food and Drink Board	re: Casamento's Tonight!!! - BlackenedOut on 5/17/13 at 9:54 am Had half dozen last week, mixed bag of Louisiana and Apalachicolas. Both were very good. Peche guys remarked that due to the sheer volume of seafood they are purchasing, they have a wholesaler's license. This allows them to buy directly from fishermen, shrimpers, etc... and is really allowing them t... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Food and Drink Board	re: Casamento's Tonight!!! - BlackenedOut on 5/17/13 at 9:50 am I've always heard Casamento's oysters come from a hyper specific area in a certain zone. But who knows if that is true or not. I like those apalachicola oysters a lot. Not as big, but much saltier, which would make sense being there isn't North America's largest river dumping over them. ... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Food and Drink Board	re: Casamento's Tonight!!! - BlackenedOut on 5/17/13 at 9:45 am Agree on anti-fetishizing and the price makes them pretty darn awesome.

Food and Drink Board	re: Casamento's Tonight!!! - BlackenedOut on 5/17/13 at 9:37 am Here is my take on oysters and it is probably controversial: Louisiana oysters are probably the single best cooking oyster in all the world, but for raw, I think they come in about last place save for 2-3 weeks in January - February. For those two weeks they are pretty good, but still nowhere nea... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

You can't just give it to anyone. Also, I think its hilarious that Bourdain knew of precisely one charity in New Orleans who could use 200g.
