Lagniappe is great, but I wouldn't call it super nice. Seagars is good, but they are VERY proud of their food. Mimmos is really good Italian, better than Tuscany Bistro IMHO. Ocean Club is great too. Galatoires' chef used to be at the Inn at Crystal Beach's restaurant, but he has since moved on,...

Eclipse Chasing?...

I boil mine like crawfish. Same set up and seasoning. Only difference is boil and soak times. Boil for 10 min soak 45 min. Make sure to cool the water before the soak. I use frozen gallon jugs as to not dilute the seasoned water. Works for me every time. ...

Just got back from the area. Plenty of pancakes and T-shirt shops. I know it sounds strange, but we did the Titanic Museum and it was [b]extremely[/b] well done. The guy that built it is from the area, that's why it's where it is. Worth a trip IMHO. ...

The wife(no Pics) and I ate at Smith and Wollensky on the water in South Beach. You can watch all of the yachts and have a nice steak. Ask for a table outside if the weather is going to be good....

We had a little shindig at the house yesterday to celebrate the new year and watch all the bowl games. We had all of the New Year’s Day eats: Starting with corned beef [img]https://i.postimg.cc/fLHYWTJr/IMG-1311.jpg[/img] Cabbage of course [img]https://i.postimg.cc/HLk07PFK/IMG-1317.jpg[/img] ...
Charles Seafood was so damn good when he owned it. Problem was, it wasn't as profitable as his uptown place, and the jackass landlord doubled his rent so he shut it down. The latest incarnation of Charles Seafood is ok, but not like it was when Frank owned it....
I've always boiled them in salt water. Crawfish pot full of water, and one tub of Morton's salt will do it. 1lb chicks are ready in about 8 minutes. No soaking needed. You know they are done right when the antennas pull right off with no resistance. ...
I've gotten sick from bad scallops, I can't eat them any more. It was miserable....
Interesting promo video for sure. Not sure how many variations you can have on that, but what do I know??...
Their Tequila is not good. Have not tried the whiskey, but both of their Members Mark Brand vodkas are outstanding for the price....

I don't have a recipe, but I want to get the recipe for the one at Segnette Landing. It's the restaurant behind the shrimp lot in Westwego. Theirs is out of this world....
A long ways back, my buddy snuck a roast beef poboy(with gravy) into Interview with a Vampire. Pretty funny watching all the people get bitten up to the smell of roast beef gravy...
