Re: NOLA weekend trip report - 1940

The Cave supper club/restaurant in the basement was during the time of the Gruenwald Hotel before it was The Roosevelt then the Fairmont. It later became the laundry area for the hotel.

Re: Will he or won't he?

Gross, vomit inducing eating competitions are as much of a sport as bikini clad, silicone fueled bimbo's wrestling in pudding in a baby pool...............

But I'm sure they both appeal to sophmoric men whose maturity peaked and sadly stopped at 15.

Re: "Tom Fitzmorris=Dining Methuselah"--Article on Tom and Vietnamese Cooking

ratcheese, You're not the only one. I don't find B.A.'s writing/reviews witty, clever or interesting. New Orleans cuisine has a distinct history to it and a quirky one at that. There is a big difference experiencing something briefly so to speak as an adult and spending a lifetime interacting with i...

Re: "Tom Fitzmorris=Dining Methuselah"--Article on Tom and Vietnamese Cooking

I wonder why the mention of Brett Anderson's name doesn't raise the same emotional reaction in people as the mention of Tom Fitzmorris? IMO, Brett Anderson is a Minnesota transplant who mainly gives sporadic reviews in the Times Picayune. Tom Fitzmorris is a local personality who has been writing, ...

Re: Where's Creighton?

Re: Fresh Local Seafood is Available

I'm sure it was farm raised catfish? Rouse's has an ad for boiled crabs from Lake Ponchartrain and local shrimp, But I read this story in todays Times Picayune about a small restaurant owner closing because of seafood prices, and the article also mentions Tommy Cvitanovich talking about the high sea...
