re: Chef Adolfo Garcia tweets about Congressman Letlow
Posted by zoemaxsam on 12/30/20 at 11:13 pm
Chef, be careful of your words. Such callous remarks can come back to haunt you. If someone you hold dear should die - for any reason, thoughtless words would be cruel and unnecessary. Not to mention the business you will lose. Apparently you have taken care of that. We will never darken your door again.

We really loved Congregation Coffee and bought several bags for ourselves and for gifts. Sadly, I will never support them again after one of the gift recipients pointed out they support Planned Parenthood.

He is getting to be a handful, and she corrects him often. I used to feel sorry for Tom, but it must be quite a challenge to keep an eye on him 24/7. It's a pitiful situation

Can't blame them. The DA is disgusting. Less than 2 weeks ago he stated a taser is a deadly weapon. Now it's not????
re: TulaneLSU's Photo Challenge 3: Can you name this restaurant?
Posted by zoemaxsam on 6/2/20 at 9:44 am
I share your love for Crozier's. If there was one restaurant I could bring back, it would be Crozier's. Their original location was not on Read Lane, it was on Lake Forest Boulevard in a small strip mall. It was a single, narrow storefront. I don't remember how we found it, but in 1976, it was our favorite Saturday night date. His fish soup was only served on Saturday night. It was a strong flavored broth that I learned to love. I still crave that soup and all his dishes. Dover Sole, Veal Francois,Veal al La Crozier, and the Tournedos Gerard....and perfect rice. It will forever be my most missed restaurant. It holds many special memories.
re: Ordered a soft shell crab plate...
Posted by zoemaxsam on 5/10/20 at 2:43 pm
A friend in the seafood industry told me to check for the points on either side of the shell. If the crab shell is rounded, they are not Louisiana crabs. Louisiana labeling law requires notification of source of crawfish and shrimp if they come from another country. They should extend the law to crabs and certain species of fish as well.
re: Tom Fitzmorris moving to WGSO
Posted by zoemaxsam on 5/7/20 at 11:13 pm
I'm reminded about Johnny Carson who said he wanted to leave the Tonight Show was he was still at the top of his game; and he did. Mary Ann should have let Tom do the same instead of sitting him in front of a microphone when he can't put two coherent sentences together. Now this is how he will be remembered. Doesn't she realize how much she has to prompt him to complete a thought? It's an embarrassment. Yes, she should be ashamed. Their ramblings together with the amateur sound quality makes me think I'm listening to a skit on the old Saturday Night Live. Only it's real.
re: What's your favorite crawish Monica recipe?
Posted by zoemaxsam on 3/30/20 at 2:02 pm
I have the original recipe from when they first started selling their Pasta Fresca in the 1980's. Monica told me she has since changed the recipe. Here is the original:
1 Stick butter
3/4 Cup chopped green onions
1 lb Crawfish tails
1 TBL Cajun Magic-Seafood Magic
1 Pint Half and Half
Melt butter in large saucepan, saute onions for 2-3 minutes. Add Cajun Magic and crawfish tails. Saute for one minute. Add half and half and cook for 5-10 minutes until sauce thickens. Add pasta and toss well.Serves 4.

re: Best little known restaurant in the NOLA Metro?
Posted by zoemaxsam on 2/10/20 at 9:27 pm
Ian McNulty on facebook has great reviews of restaurants and the latest on the food scene. Also check out NOLA Eats. There are a lot of good places to find reports of restaurants and good food in NOLA, one just needs to look. Tom Fitzmorris is incompetent and Mary Ann has her hands full of carrying the load. There are other more up to date reviews on food, coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner etc.
re: Does anyone simmer chicken bones in store bought chicken stock?
Posted by zoemaxsam on 12/31/19 at 2:20 pm
It can only add to the flavor. You could add an envelope of dry Lipton chicken soup for flavor - or a packet of chicken gravy to thicken it some. Whenever I cook a brisket, I add a chicken gravy. It doesn't change the flavor, just adds to it. Never settle for cheap, store brand broths or gravies; they are tasteless. What are some good chicken broths out there?

Agree with Segura Viudas. Cristalino is good,as if Domaine Ste.Michelle. Maybe not $10, but reasonable.

re: Tom Fitzmorris Food Show
Posted by zoemaxsam on 10/29/19 at 8:55 pm
Awhile back Tom was telling Mary Ann about a dinner he had and she asked him if it was prix fixe. He said, 'no, they made it when I ordered it'. Only sponsors are Andrea's and N.O. Hamburger and Seafood. Mary Ann takes Fridays off and leaves the Annoying Oyster Lady to take care of Tom. The show is an embarrassment.

Don't like debris roast beef on a po boy. That is what Parkway serves.
re: What is your every day Coffee?
Posted by zoemaxsam on 10/20/19 at 3:17 pm
If I am buying from the grocery, I go with Union or French Market Medium/Dark Roast coffee and chicory in the red can. My ideal is Congregation Coffee, High Walk, (Low Walk if I want decaf). I buy chicory and add it to the coffee. Brewed in a French Press, it's strong and perfect. Congregation coffee is made in Algiers. You can buy direct or in some locations in New Orleans.

Toyota Sequoia has great ratings and I haven't had any trouble with mine. Would get Sequoia again. Loved my Suburban, but it was not very dependable.
re: Jambalaya - Fitzmorris is Really Losing Credibility If He Ever Had Any
Posted by zoemaxsam on 10/6/19 at 9:46 pm
Especially when its boil the chicken that has already been baked....then use that "broth". How much flavor can broth made with already baked chicken make?
I start with raw chicken that I simmer with seasoning and use the broth as my liquid. Jambalaya from scratch is not hard to make. Use a mix when you are in a hurry but otherwise do it the old fashioned way. The taste is far superior. And the sodium content is not through the roof.
