re: Oak Oven-Harahan Short review w/ pics

Then I made a simple comment about not liking chips as a side and he goes into defensive mode. What's funny and ironic is that he derails as many threads as anyone with his sarcastic and derogatory comments.

I've had the pleasure of sharing a few beers with OBrah IRL. I can tell you that it's no e-persona front that he is putting on here. That's how he is IRL. Granted he could reserve his comments sometimes given the reaction they get.


I'm thinkin of all my go to sandwhich places for lunch and can't think of any place that serves them with anything much less chips. Milk Bar, po boy joints, etc don't give you anything with their sandwiches. Sure you could buy chips and like I mention earlier Wayfare serves chips with their sandwiches. If you knew anything about the lunch and dinner scence in Harahan and the set up of Oak Oven you would understand why serving chips with a $9 sandwich at lunch is a smart move.

I can tell by your post you don't know much about the food scence here besides what you read on this board. For me that makes your derailing comments worse than OBrahs. He at least can form his opinion based off of his current experiences in the area. For outsiders coming to visit this board can be a great tool. But in the case of a thread like this one a visitor might not go to a good restaurant because some troll with no knowledge of the area turn the thread into a train wreck. Now before you respond with lunchbox's Barcadia thread that got off topic let me tell you there is a difference. Obrah trashed the place with his usual comments but they weren't some crap he was just blabbing about for the sake of trolling. He has a very valid point. If I were a visitor to the area I wouldn't want to waste a meal at Barcadia.

This place is full of characters with opinions. You just have to pick and choose the ones you trust. People who start things like Red Lobster threads and the like bring nothing to the board IMO.

Sort of. Mine are so obvious that anyone that is actually "caught" is an idiot.

That's my point. Just because I share an opinion that Mastisyeezy apparently doesn't agree with, that somehow makes me a troll?

The only thing I did in this thread was a free with several other posters that Obrah would have complained if someone one else posted those pics, then he got all defensive. And somehow I'm a troll for that.

I don't consider you a troll box. You just have lover quarrels with other posters.

I just need to stop spending money on golf and motorcycles so I can up my restaurant game

So did mine.

Did you have any doughy bites? That was my one complaint.

Place is tiny but it was packed.

I counted 12 tables. They won't be pumping out the lunch crowd at a Kim Ahn's pace.

They turned around 100 people the other night. Just not enough time in the night to feed them all.



Shouldnt have bumped this crap thread.

Wise, not looking to relive most of this thread, just wanted to show an update.

That pizza looks good

It's absolutely delicious. The pork and sausage are perfect.

Also, didn't try the pasta but it looks great. Boss ordered a roasted pork with pappardelle. Clearly a nice long braise on the pork. Homemade pasta. Looked out of sight.

They actually ran out of food last Saturday. I rode by and they were shut down at 7pm.

Also, I've called in and picked up orders twice during dinner time fwiw.

Any update on this joint? To go orders yet?
