The good thing is they have a printing press in Stanley. There are a fair number of bars and restaurants in the Quarter (or were last time I was in that game) under some form of reorganization. Court would be loathe to stop the cash cow.

Now the Paint Factory in mid city that makes gumbos and sauces and such for Stanley, that might be adios.

Did this ever open? Never heard a darn thing about it, and he bought the building years ago.

Yeah it opened. It was never going to be a restaurant, more like a commissary to make sauces, soups, etc... so that Stanley could keep up with volume.

Would you happen to know how much the gumbo sells/sold for? I have no idea if he sells quarts, etc.

Doing stuff like dropping a bunch of live baby eels into a cup and then pouring hot broth over them on the table.


Did someone really do that??
I'm all for trying new things, but come on, that is fricking gross.

Medusa's cocktail: Live Maine baby glass eels with spicy shellfish shabu-shabu.

"This was a hard sell, so much so that I had to go to the table to introduce it to people. When they saw the eels still moving about, their spines just pushed against the back of their chairs.

We put micro greens in the center of a glass bowl and tiny live baby glass eels around it. They'd be swimming up the bowl until the server ladled in the piping hot broth, and it was as though they were instantly electrocuted.

The table would be silent, and I'd say, ‘Stir the broth with chopsticks and eat it Japanese-style.'

It was definitely the live part that freaked people out, but I like to think it exemplifies how fresh our products are. I'm already dreaming of serving live lobster sashimi, as they do in Japan."


Delusional personified.
