I took our family for Thanksgiving day. Spoke with a few of the managers. They could have sold more tables, but couldn't get the staff. That is why they made the decision to just keep it closed for the season. I also spoke with a few of the old time waiters, and they are pretty upset about the c...

re: Searing Steaks on an outdoor grill

I appreciate all the advice. I think I need to look into upgrading my outdoor grill, or replacing it with a good charcoal grill/smoker. It is all about the BTU's. The temp gauge on my grill goes to 700, but I never see it really over 500 with the lid closed. Thanks everyone....

I think the answer is based on how many tourist feel comfortable coming back to NOLA. It really could be a much longer time than expected. As soon as they raise the lock down, there will have to be a marketing blitz to convince those people that it's safe to return. The politicians need to qu...
