Hawks Nest

I am a purest...I like the white remoulade sauce. But if you like the red...they have one of the best.

Although, a classic French remoulade is white (but, really nothing at all like the "white" remoulade you typically served with shrimp in La.), the original shrimp remoulade was/is a red remoulade (started at Arnaud's).

So, I guess technically, I could call myself a "purest" (or purist) for liking the red remoulade.

If you liked the gumbo go to Uncle O's. Ouncy has the recipe that he took from Hawks Nest to Fairway View then to Uncle O's. Very well done. He sells it by the half gallon and gallon as well for take out. On Harrels Ferry at Millerville.

Did anything ever reopen in the old Fairway View spot?

I know there was a fire (it seems like there were several over the years ).

Did it finally burn to the ground, though? So, there's nothing open back there anymore? That's all I was wondering.

I had it at Hawks Nest prior to Fairway and it's the same. Not saying it isn't his but it's the same as Hawks Nest.

Guess he should have made it for sale.

have a fan, Our more likely one of those bar flies I bought a drink for that remembers the nights I spent, on that little patio by the pool at fairway, stirring my roux on that propane burner...Alas, Ouncy has made more gumbo than I by now.

I remember that. I was a frequent guest at the bar. I do miss those times and the gumbo is great.

I used to love that place. I lived at Fairway for 3 years and was there the night it burned until 1AM. I was in shock the next morning when i woke hungover to the sound of about 10 fire trucks. The guy who runs Brightside talked about reopening it for awhile. Their is an ordinance in BR not allowing restaurant/bars in apartment complexes is what i was told. The actual apt complex has changed hands and went though bad management for a few years. Last i heard they were trying to make it into a Club house.
