The crab salad with the champagne vinegarette is excellent! Also, try the lamb. One of the best places in the city for French cuisine in my opinion. You will not be dissapointed.
The wife and I tried making this at home one night. The recipe was in the Food Network magazine. Maybe we did not make it right because it was horrible. It was way too hot and we could not even finish a glass. I would like to try it again, however if someone who knew what they were doing made it.

I too had a high opinion of the guy before someone close to me went to work for him. Let's just say that opinion has changed. Some of his products are pretty good, though.

I might be in the minority on this one, but I love their ribs. The sides are just ok, but the ribs are delicious. I have only eaten at the original in Ocean Springs, though.

If you are a sushi virgin, don't get eel! That shite has a strong taste and could ruin your first sushi experience. :lol:

Was the cucumber drink a Pim's cup? My wife drinks that stuff.

I may have to give Nottoway another chance, but I can't see driving all the way out there for shite food when Houma's House is much closer to me.

Have to agree that the food at Nottoway is sub par. It's really a shame because the place is beautiful. I have only been once for a special event but the food was really a letdown. The food at the Myrtles is just ok. It's nothing spectacular that you couldn't find anywhere else.

Probably one of my favorite places to eat in BR. The veal parmesian is money. :bow:

TA,the wife brought me back some food from Mediterrano in Oceans Springs. The food was awesome! She went twice during her one week stay. You will not be disappointed if you choose this place.
I too made the mistake of going to Pancho's this past Saturday. Let me start by saying that Pancho's has lost all of it's "Piccadilly type feel" by going to an all you can eat buffet. The food was comparable to CiCi's. Everything tasted like it was served directly from the can. Taco Bell is a much better option in my opinion. My wife and I both felt sick after eating that slop. I will not be returning to what used to be one of my favorite places growing up.

I refer to it as Golden Sewage. Right after you eat there, you have to drive home to take a crap!
Went Saturday night and had 3 lbs. of boiled shrimp. The shrimp were huge and seasoned perfectly. The staff was super friendly and always checking on us. This was my first time there and will defintely not be my last!

Maybe he'll give LSU a part of his salary for costing them millions by going to a second tier bowl game!
Who is going to back up Ridley? Shep?
Seriously? We are consistently getting owned by coaches in the upper tier of the SEC. Do you actually think Miles can correct this? He has shown the ability to do absolutely squat against equally matched teams.
I've never seen a team that looks so lost on offense. The coaches are definitely not preparing these players from week to week. You shouldn't look confused when there is one second on the play clock when you don't even huddle!

National Championship to Liberty bowl....
