We went last week and hit Gramercy Tavern, Nomad, Momufuku and Scarpetta. All solid and there are so many good places in the city, but Gramercy Tavern and Momufuku stood out above the other two. Hit LeBernadin last trip and would highly recommend if you can get in there. Good stuff- enjoy! ...
Has anyone tried the Harpoon Oktoberfest? I saw it at Rouses yesterday and it caught my eye. ...
[quote]I still say get Taco Mac in there. One of the best sports bars I have ever been to.[/quote] YES!!! The tables with the beer taps that you can control yourself are awesome, particulary when there is a big event and the place is packed. :cheers:...

Thanks all. Anything else I need to buy right away, or should I just do the kit and the book and let him go from there. Thanks again!...

Homebrew Starter kits - need advice

Posted by BigE19 on 5/19/11 at 11:00 am
My husband has expressed interest in homebrewing, and seeing that I really like beer too, I figured there can't be a better Father's Day gift! Now I just need to figure out what he needs, and I need help. I saw this kit on Amazon, but I really don't know if this is good or not. Any help is greatl...

Going to the Napa area over Mardi Gras and wanted to see if I could get some ideas on what restaurants and vineyards are a must. Also, we are staying at the Silverado resort and spa for the weekend, but want to stay somewhere different Monday-Wednesday...Something that is close to one of the do...

re: Ninfa's Pechuga Sauce

Posted by BigE19 on 10/21/10 at 10:31 am
I made fajitas last night but didn't feel like I had enough info to make a solid attempt at making the sauce, so maybe I'll try the butter, port and cream option and see what happens. Anyone else have any info? Thanks!...

Ninfa's Pechuga Sauce

Posted by BigE19 on 10/20/10 at 4:47 pm
Does anyone know how to make the Pechuga gravy that Ninfa's pours over their chicken fajitas. I know there is ton of butter, but beyond that I am stuck. I'd love to attempt my own, so any recipe or ingredient suggestions are welcome. TIA! :cheers:...
It is under construction and it is located near the corner of Hwy. 190 and Boston St., on the old entrance ramp to 190 that was closed. It is set back in the woods overlooking the Bogua Falaya river, so it should have a pretty cool view. They say it will open in December. :cheers:...

Approx. how long would you need to grill the the chicken for, saying you have an average size baking chicken and grill set at 250-300? Sounds delish. Thanks. :cheers:...

re: Key lime pie

Posted by BigE19 on 4/21/10 at 2:30 pm
I have tried to make it with a ton of recipes, and I swear the one on the key lime juice is the best and the easiest. Like he said, 3 egg yolks, a can of condensed milk and some of the lime juice - 15 minutes in the oven, and it comes out perfect. Put a dollop of whipped cream on it and it is awes...

re: WOW Wingery - Hwy 21 at Covington

Posted by BigE19 on 3/29/10 at 10:53 am
I went to the WOW on Hwy. 59 in Mandeville and had a similar experience. The place was 1/4 full and it took 10 minutes to get seated, 10 more to get a waiter, 45 to get an order of tossers and a kids chicken fingers, and when we asked for silverware the waitress told us she didn't know if they had a...

That is good to hear. We usually make our own at home with good vegetables and fresh mozzarella, so I'm eager to try it. Thanks!...
