Some popular restaurant from Monroe, I heard (on here, I think). I don't know when they are supposed to open though.

The former Calendar’s restaurant on Coursey Boulevard, near the intersection of S. Sherwood Forest Boulevard, has been gutted for redevelopment and will reopen this spring as a new bar and grill called Portico.


I've heard on this board that Portico's is pretty good.

Anyone know what's happening with the empty Broken Egg on G O'Neal? Looks like something is happening with the place.

City Cafe is moving into the spot previously occupied by Broken Egg.

Yeah, I worked there for most of my college years. Met a lot of great people working there. Sucks that I can't go back and eat a Baked Feta and Shrimp Portofino and remember the good times.....

My daughter was on the opening crew for the one on Coursey, of course we ate there a lot to have our favorite server wait on us. I loved crawfish Roban, she said it was basically cream and Prudhomme's blackened redfish seasoning. Not sure if that's accurate, but it tasted pretty close.

Not really, I worked front of the house so I really don't know any exact recipes..

As I said above, I don't know exact recipes but I do know that was the two main components. Toss it with shell pasta and garnish with green onions and you're good to go. I'm still good friends with a back of the house manager so I can probably get you the exact recipe if you want.

Btw Andouille, I probably know your daughter. I started at Semolina about 2 or 3 months after the Coursey location opened...

Oh yes, I would love the exact Roban recipe or any others you can get.

I will experiment with the ingredients listed above and see how it comes out.

I'll see the guy this weekend and I'll try to remember to get the recipe from him. I know he has it because he told me he made a batch of roban recently for a party...

I worked there from about 2002 until it closed down. Lots of good memories from that place!

Chimes East is the busiest restaurant in the city. Walkons does well also.
