Sweet Adelaide, genesis of a classic

I wanted to create a cocktail for the Sweet gals to celebrate their first departure from NOLA.  I thought of the women that would be taking this cruise so I did something that would fit in as light and  refreshing to pair with all of the spicy and rich food that we serve in the [...]

Parasol’s Style Roast Beef Po Boy Recipe

This recipe like many others on Nola Cuisine is written for folks like myself who love the food of New Orleans, but are too far away to walk out their door and have someone else do the cookin’. I’ve had a hunger for a Roast Beef from Parasol’s ever since my trip last March, but [...]

Will Alinea Deliver?

We landed in Chicago last night, and got to the hotel around 9pm. We were tired, and still getting our bearings, so we ordered room service. It’s Friday morning, and all I can think about is Alinea for dinner tonight. But, I have a bad habit of over-hyping things in my head, which usually makes [...]

Po Boy Festival

Men, Women, and Mannish Boys take note: the 3rd annual Po Boy Preservation Festival will take place this Sunday, November 22nd, on Oak Street between Carrollton and Eagle Streets.

The festival has been incredibly popular in its first two years, and this year is likely to be similar. The popularity led to some pretty serious crowds, but this year the area that the festival will encompass has been expanded, and a few of the attractions have been moved to the periphery of the show. More importantly from my perspective, there will be a screen set up for the Saints game.

I'll be one of a host of judges this year, and I'm looking forward (foreword) to it. With 40 or so selections, there should be food enough for everybody's taste.

Anyway, it's going to be a good time, and I'm pretty pleased to be taking part. Say "hello" if you see me out there.

Or don't, and feel the steely wrath of my gaze upon your nape. Muah.

One Hardworkin’ Chicken

I stupidly forgot to bring home my camera yesterday so I couldn’t photograph my 25/25 compliant meal, but last night I stole yet another recipe from this month’s Food + Wine: roast chicken with tangerines, and it was superb.

Here lies the secret of this week’s challenge, the $3.49 chicken from Ro-Bear’s:


I don’t want to even begin to think about the processes that take place so that I can have a whole chicken for just $3.49. BUT, this little guy supplied us with dinner last night, lunch today, and I threw the bones and fruit rinds back in the pot with some celery, carrots, and onions and made a stock with them.
