Caught the post about the folk behind Debbie Does Doberge taking over the old Eleven 79 space and it got me to wondering - who does the best doberge cake in New Orleans. I've had the doberge bites at 12 Mile LImit - and they were good but I still need to try just a regular slice to get the proper...

Jim Beam scion and whiskey lecturer. Caught him at a Museum of the American Cocktail event a few year back. Good speaker, knowledgeable and interesting guy....
Napoleon House also has an option where you could take over all or most of the restaurant. I held an even for a little over a hundred people there a few years back (the management has since changed - it's now part of the Ralph Brennan group) and can attest that it works well for a group....

[quote]I have a very difficult time not having this and have ordered it in an entree size on several occasions.[/quote] Your words interest me and I would like to subscribe to your pamphlets. An entree sized portion of Shrimp Henican? Brilliant! Did they add in something additional on the si...

For a first time visit I would fit in an appetizer order of Shrimp & Tasso Henican. Then on a return visit, try not to order Shrimp & Tasso Henican....
[quote]They are definitely jeans and polo type people.[/quote] That does change the equation. Peche has been mentioned a few times and while Donald Link is one of my favorite chefs I would probably go for Cochon before Peche for a casual but impressive meal. I think the service is better at C...
Another vote for Commanders - but go for lunch....
Like GG I can't say that I've sampled extensively across the entire nation - but there are a few standouts that I enjoy. The regular jerky from the House of Jerky. It's a small national chain that ships but I usually pick some up when I'm out in Pennsylvania. They ship. http://houseofjerky.ne...

re: Sitting at a table in Muriel's

[quote]Yall are all such absolute snobs.[/quote] $13 apps $40 entrees At this price point I don't think it is snobbish to expect better than average in food and service. Having been a few times and found the food and service to be an average experience - Muriel's is underwhelming for the m...
'fraid so. First their Manhattan outpost closed after just six months, then the original Bergen St spot shut after the Superbowl. It's a bit surprising - the owners don't make it out to be a rent or lease issue, something that has become more prevalent in that stretch with the opening of the Bar...
Bark closed for good a few weeks ago....
Friends of ours used to live in that stretch across from an old Sinatra rib joint haunt, The Twin Anchors - which has a surprising gruff charm. Also nearby are classic cocktails at Barrel House, a quintessential dive bar Rose's Lounge and the classic Old Town Bar. Make sure you catch a Second City...
Thanks to all for the suggestions. I do love Irene's but given it can be a $%*! show on an average night with reservations I'm not sure I'm ready to roll the dice on Easter Sunday. Tableau - I agree, Dickie needs to take a long hard look. Service there - even at the bar is horrendous. Seems ...
Could use some guidance for dinner out on Easter Sunday. Looking to stay in short walking distance of the residential side of the French Quarter. I know the parades will have wrapped by early evening but just want to stay near home. I realize it is a tricky night to go out but thought we'd give...
You're staying by the MetroTech Center in downtown Brooklyn and are near the areas of Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, Boreum Hill, Dumbo and Prospect Heights. I'm going to concentrate on stuff that is within a mile of the hotel... you have... Brooklyn Fare's Chef Table - one of the highest r...
