Hi Paul,
just tryin' to get a rise out of you....
But seriously, as a Chef I find it interesting that customers will complain about the pricing at one place, but will pay top dollar at another and not have much of an issue with it - assuming similar quality of course.
Are you speaking from...
re: Is $14.95 for 6 Asian Oysters at Zea Unreasonable?

Certainly oyster prices are high (what isn't??) but anything over $2 bucks per oyster is certainly excessive. ...

Anyone on the FDB looking to be my financial partner on a restaurant venture -- I know of this nice building on Jefferson Hwy already equipped. It should be available this year to occupy! :lol:

LA LADY,
A quick look at their menu and the most expensive salad (w/o a protein) is $9.95...so your $15 with tax is a bit of an exaggeration.
Now if you left a nice tip, I could see it going to $15...and cheers to you for tipping on a To-Go if that's the case. ...

Hey Paul Allen,
let's be fair here.......
Not specifically defending D'los pricing, but how often do you eat anywhere other than Hooters??
A few examples of local salad prices for your information:
Serranos, $11-$14
Parrains $11-$14
Monjunis $10-$14
Mestizos $12-$14

Posted by madchef on 2/22/15 at 12:08 pm
It's listed as an appetizer, but unless you are sharing it is actually a bit large to eat by yourself before an entrée.
A bowl of mussels with their table bread makes a perfectly decent meal. I like to share an appetizer and then eat something like the mussels or a fish entrée and I leave satisf...

Skip the bang-bang shrimp, I don't get why these are so popular. Also, NEVER go on Wednesdays unless you actually like bang bang shrimp, as they are on special and everyone there is drinking ice water & eating bang bang for their entrees....
Portion to price ratio is not the greatest on any of th...
Indeed, sorry about that. Meant to say an IRA, once the employer sponsored Roth was maxed out. ...
re: I know this has been asked a million times -- best knife starter set
Posted by madchef on 2/9/15 at 1:05 pm
I speak from many years of professional kitchen experience. By FAR, the best home/starter knife brand is the Forschner line by Victorinox.
I have many expensive knives, but still use my Forschners regularly. They are easy to sharpen and hold an edge decently with non heavy duty use.
Definite...

This is a statement for your Louisiana tax refund you received for the 2013 Tax year.
You need to claim this on your 2014 Federal tax return. This amount will count as income, and yes it will increase your tax liability. ...

Hail To The Chiz, what kind of outstanding debts do you have? High interest credit cards? Car note? Student loan?

re: Contributions to Roth for 2014
Posted by madchef on 2/4/15 at 8:00 pm
Yes, no problem - doesn't matter when it was opened.
You have until April 15th 2015 to claim it against your 2014 taxes, limited to $5,500 total per year or if you are 50 or older, $6,500. ...
Things to take into consideration before converting that kind of $ into a Roth:
The federal tax on a Roth IRA conversion will be collected by the IRS with the rest of your income taxes due on the return you file in the year of the conversion.
The amount you choose to convert will be taxed as ...

If you will be around London, Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons in Great Milton is seriously one of the top restaurants in the world....amazing food in a stunning atmosphere...worth every penny.
We were taken around on a private tour with the Chef, they really do things right here.

Hello All,
another viable option to having to drive over the bridge is The Island Grill Restaurant. It is in Plaquemine one mile off of hwy. 1 on 77(Bayou Jacob road).
It is a casual place, even though it is located in a country club. Open to the public every day for lunch (except club is cl...
