re: Restaurants where you have never had a bad meal
Posted by nikinik on 7/18/20 at 3:34 pm
I love your list...except for Mosca’s. It’s a RAGING overpriced disappointment now. Unfortunately, my family still insists on going there due to wistful palate syndrome. Last visit, I paid over $25 for the driest chicken I’ve ever eaten in my life. ...

Ruby Slipper is good, but the mimosas aren't bottomless and will run you into the poor house if you want to drink.
Bottomless mimoas:

re: Ye Olde College Inn Dinner Experience

I love this place, and always suggest it to out of town guests. It doesn't seem to get much love on this site...but I think that's more a case of people jumping on the bandwagon, vs reporting on actual experiences.
Hopefully, now that you've given such a great review, folks will give it a try.

re: Boiling snow crab. How long?????
Posted by nikinik on 3/2/16 at 12:35 pm
Don't boil! Steam.
If you don't have a steamer basket, no worries.
Get a big soup pot. Crumple foil into several baseball sized balls and put into bottom of the pot. Add water till it's almost to the top of the foil balls, but not over the top. Add garlic, lemon, a beer.
Put crabs into ...

I've never had Texas de Brazil in Baton Rouge, so I can't make a comparison.
I did try TdB when it was in New Orleans for a very short time.
Fogo is a prettier and classier atmosphere, and the food is way better....

I went last Wednesday. It was absolutely delicious, and the service was great as well.
We stuck strictly to beef and lamb. We had a few bites off of the market table (loved the basil dressing), but saved our stomach space.
Our favorites were the filet mignon, garlic beef, and of course the ...
