This must be karma or something, but the real irony of my Mississippi barbecue tour is that the best sandwich I’ve eaten in the whole series, (and probably the best in Mississippi, although the state of Mississippi barbecue makes me think this may be like being the best gumbo in Kansas) is from Tallulah’s Kitchen right [...]

My daughter is spending a semester in Rome, living a couple of blocks from the Coliseum, blogging and making us all (well, me, anyway) envious. She discovered that the perfect coffee shop is next to where she’ll be in school… One of the great finds of the day was courtesy of Fred Plotkin. This coffee shop is world [...] When I go out for a casual brunch in New Orleans, a few places come to mind. For years, I stayed in Bywater, and a place called Elizabeth’s was my first choice. The first time I went there, its chef-founder was still in charge, and I had (for brunch…) a roast cochon de lait po boy [...] I’ve eaten at Mosca’s in New Orleans about four times between 1980 and now, each time a pretty big distance apart, and the most recent just after it reopened after Katrina.

Smitty’s inherited from its predecessor, Grundy’s, a wonderful art deco diner look. It had [...] As I noted in the various post this morning, the Commercial Appeal had an interesting obituary for Wilma Madison, who was the chef at Justine’s through its history in the location from the late 5os until it closed. She arrived there in 1959 just as it opened, and apparently stayed to the end. To no surprise, I [...] |
