re: Vietnamese Festival NO East. Tips?
Posted by playboyoncrack on 2/10/17 at 2:46 pm to tewino
I don't want to jinx the festival, but we have yet to have any incidents of any criminal activities occurred ever since the new younger group of church volunteer that taken since Katrina. The fest is very interesting, entertaining, secure and must visit!!!
You should hit the fair during the day time for the local american cover bands. Groovy 7 is easily one of the best and most popular of the local cover bands. They have been playing at the fair every year since Katrina.
The pho has been amazing for the last two years (a new head cook took over), the other 8 years its been really awful. The best time to get pho is around 11am - 4pm, this is when the pho broth is at its best (very fatty). The bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) is definitely worth a try.
If you are adventurous enough head over to the tent that is to the right of the stage. Give their goats dishes a try, they prepare the goat in two different ways, but definitely a must try.
There's a seafood tent in the back of the fair. I have a chance to simple their boiled crawfish yesterday and to my very own damn surprised it was pretty yummy. It's pretty much selected size and they will be selling them for $5/lb, that's a bargain. But avoid their charbroiled oysters, its awful.
Now for the sweets/desserts. The same tent that sells the pho/bbh which is the tent to the left of the stage. They sell the only good fried bananas. Another must try are the Pandan waffles. Drinks wise there's a tent that sells Thai Tea, Vietnamese iced coffee and cane juice.

re: What is your favorite Pho spot in New Orleans?

Have you ever tried the other vietnamese favorite noodle soup? Spicy Beef noodle soup, it has a pork bone soup base rather than a beef bone soup base.
1. Dong Phuong / East
2. Pho Sunrise / Kenner (they also have the best shaken beef with rice in town and pretty descent pho)

Most places serves the crab meat soup without the shark fins, its not a game breaker with/without the fins. Since its a Vietnamese, you are suppose to have a bottle of cognac on each table, but too bad Crystal Palace venues has banned this. FWIW, if you ever get invited to a wedding @panda king. The food there is better and there's no bottle ban.

re: Steaming Crawfish. Ever seen this video?
Posted by playboyoncrack on 4/21/16 at 12:23 pm to unclebuck504
I finally have a chance to watch the video. I can see why you guys are bashing the video. My setup or steaming method is nothing remotely similar to the video. I have boiling crawfish for a good while, and I still use the same seasoning(soaking)stock recipe for my crawfish. I just prefer to steam cook my crawfish because the meat is much more tender and fuller than boiling crawfish (minimum shrinkage). Basically is the same, if I was boiling to cook the crawfish and then soaking the crawfish in the same pot. But instead I just have one pot for steaming and another for my seasoned stock. Anyhow the pot that I have for steaming is a stainless steel pot with a ridged ring that keeps the basket 3 inches above the pot. Also I only fill no more than 1 inch of water inside of my steaming pot unlike the other guy. FYI with the steaming pot you can steam a whole bushel of crabs in 25mins.

Posted by playboyoncrack on 4/20/16 at 7:24 pm to unclebuck504
I am a huge advocate of steam cooking the crawfish and soaking the crawfish in a different pot with seasoning, similar to what unclebuck504 is describing. Takes me only about 12-15 minutes to steam 50lbs of crawfish and an additional 15-20 minutes to soak them.

Nope, there is none that exist in NOLA. The St. Roch is probably the closest thing but that doesnt say much.

Getting of these should help you reach your health goals more efficiently/quicker. Trust me a HRM will help boost your workouts intensity or be more consistent.

Polar ft4/ft7 or h7 are my recommendations (best value).

re: brown butter? nola, just off carrollton
Posted by playboyoncrack on 6/15/15 at 9:27 am to hungryone
I agree with Neauxla that Brown Butter was pretty underwhelming.
I went there with a party of 4 for dinner about two weeks ago. And we ordered the board, fried pickles, bone marrow, Beef short ribs, aged Duck breast, Seared Scallops and Pork and beans.
The best dish nad only dish was the Bone Marrow, it was really good!!
The Short ribs seems a little tough and lean. Also the taste was whatever but the portion was pretty big for this entree.
Dont even bother with the other dishes goodness!!!
Rue 127 > Brown butter

Steaming crawfish > boiling crawfish , hands down the best way to cook crawfish and yes its perfectly seasoned similar to boiling but the tailmeat is so much better by steaming it.

Blue Oak's review:
The brisket was awfully salty. The pulled pork was moist but had no taste/flavor to it!! Both meat lacked the smoke flavor (maybe the brisket had some smoke in it but the over saltiness massed it). And for the sides I had the Garlic roasted mac = pretty good and Brussels sprouts = pretty descent. Also I didn't enjoy any of the bbq sauces that were offered there. But the service there was awesome.
