Beef Wellington in south Louisiana?

I've only made it at home, I'd like to try out one night, hope you get some decent responses.

Good news

I made it for Christmas Eve. Came out awesome.

It is not something that lends itself well to be included on menus, it is an expensive cut of meat that is cooked in a large piece that needs serving quickly.

All very true, but you can make individualized versions. Just sear off a filet mignon, let ir rest, wrap in pastry with duxelle, pate, and a layer of jamon in between the filling and pastry dough. If you want to make it at home, this is also a cheaper commitment.

Fleming’s used to have it. Was called beef flemington, made with prime filets. I don’t believed Fleming’s serves prime beef filets anymore.

I went into a now closed restaurant one time and there was a blackboard in the lobby listing specials. One was an app called "duck cells". I asked the waiter what that was. When he started describing that it was made with mushrooms, we all had to maintain control of our faculties. Damn that was funny and, to this day, I regret not taking a picture of the board before we left the restaurant.

It seems like it is difficult to cook according to all of the Hells Kitchen episodes I have watched. Apparently risotto and scallops are equally difficult

It’s been a few years but after Flemmings stopped having it on the menu they would have it if you called ahead. My wife would call for my birthday.

I never quite understood the appeal of bread wrapped steak.
