Meant to reply to OP. Sorry DeltaHog.

We went last week and hit Gramercy Tavern, Nomad, Momufuku and Scarpetta. All solid and there are so many good places in the city, but Gramercy Tavern and Momufuku stood out above the other two. Hit LeBernadin last trip and would highly recommend if you can get in there. Good stuff- enjoy!
Has anyone tried the Harpoon Oktoberfest? I saw it at Rouses yesterday and it caught my eye.

I still say get Taco Mac in there. One of the best sports bars I have ever been to.
YES!!! The tables with the beer taps that you can control yourself are awesome, particulary when there is a big event and the place is packed. :cheers:

Thanks all. Anything else I need to buy right away, or should I just do the kit and the book and let him go from there. Thanks again!
Homebrew Starter kits - need advice
Posted by BigE19 on 5/19/11 at 11:00 am
My husband has expressed interest in homebrewing, and seeing that I really like beer too, I figured there can't be a better Father's Day gift! Now I just need to figure out what he needs, and I need help. I saw this kit on Amazon, but I really don't know if this is good or not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Wineries:
There are hundreds, but some of the ones that stand out from our recent trip are:
-Viader - awesome view and damn good wine
-Joseph Phelps - see above
-Larkmead - great wine
-Swanson - fun tasting, a little different
Make appointments for all of them.
Restaurants:
-Bottega was great
-Brix was a great brunch
-Ad Hoc was so-so
-Redd was very cool
-Gott's Roadside - must visit. Cool little roadside burger place in St. Helena.
Have fun! :cheers:

Dinner in Napa - Bottega or Redd?
Posted by BigE19 on 1/26/11 at 11:57 am
For those who have dined at the two places - which one would you pick - Bottega or Redd? We are doing Ad Hoc another night. Thanks!
Thanks everyone for the restaurant and winery recommendations. If anyone has any hotel/B&B recommendations as well, that would be great. Thanks!
Napa Valley Area
Posted by BigE19 on 1/5/11 at 10:10 am
Going to the Napa area over Mardi Gras and wanted to see if I could get some ideas on what restaurants and vineyards are a must.
Also, we are staying at the Silverado resort and spa for the weekend, but want to stay somewhere different Monday-Wednesday...Something that is close to one of the downtown areas, with more in walking distance and that would be a nice change. Any suggestions on any of this are greatly appreciated. :cheers:

Rombauer Chard. Nice and buttery to go well with the turkey. :cheers:
I made fajitas last night but didn't feel like I had enough info to make a solid attempt at making the sauce, so maybe I'll try the butter, port and cream option and see what happens. Anyone else have any info? Thanks!
Ninfa's Pechuga Sauce
Posted by BigE19 on 10/20/10 at 4:47 pm
Does anyone know how to make the Pechuga gravy that Ninfa's pours over their chicken fajitas. I know there is ton of butter, but beyond that I am stuck. I'd love to attempt my own, so any recipe or ingredient suggestions are welcome. TIA! :cheers:
It is under construction and it is located near the corner of Hwy. 190 and Boston St., on the old entrance ramp to 190 that was closed. It is set back in the woods overlooking the Bogua Falaya river, so it should have a pretty cool view. They say it will open in December. :cheers:
In Destin - No oil. No tar. Alge bloom, but it is going away. It is beautiful out here.
Approx. how long would you need to grill the the chicken for, saying you have an average size baking chicken and grill set at 250-300? Sounds delish. Thanks. :cheers:
re: Key lime pie
Posted by BigE19 on 4/21/10 at 2:30 pm to TexasTiger05
I have tried to make it with a ton of recipes, and I swear the one on the key lime juice is the best and the easiest. Like he said, 3 egg yolks, a can of condensed milk and some of the lime juice - 15 minutes in the oven, and it comes out perfect. Put a dollop of whipped cream on it and it is awesome. Everyone that tries it thinks it is some wonderful recipe. :cheers:
re: WOW Wingery - Hwy 21 at Covington
Posted by BigE19 on 3/29/10 at 10:53 am to Guido Merkens
I went to the WOW on Hwy. 59 in Mandeville and had a similar experience. The place was 1/4 full and it took 10 minutes to get seated, 10 more to get a waiter, 45 to get an order of tossers and a kids chicken fingers, and when we asked for silverware the waitress told us she didn't know if they had any clean. That is the last time we went. In the hour and a half we were there, I saw three checks comped, but not ours. I even went to the website to send a suggestion that they need to straighten things up at that location and explained our experience but didn't even get a peep back. This wasn't the first poor experience we have had, and it seems to be the case for almost all of the locations we have been to. They also have very sketchy people that work there - particularly the one in Elmwood.
re: Sorelli's Brick Oven - Covington
Posted by BigE19 on 2/23/10 at 1:50 pm to LSUTIGER2404
That is good to hear. We usually make our own at home with good vegetables and fresh mozzarella, so I'm eager to try it. Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing and saw some postings about it on the nola.com forums. There were numerous posts saying that it was horrible. I'll wait to hear more about it and if there is an improvement in the food before I try it.
