That's good to hear. I've eaten at a couple of his Vegas restaurants, and wasn't blown away.
Best item on the menu is the Vieux Carre. Have a couple and you won't care if the food is any good.
Venue has been changed to Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse. I feel like I upgraded.
Can't go wrong there. The place highest on my list to hit again next time I'm in New Orleans is Adolfo's in the Marigny. We had dinner there a couple of years ago, but after a many drinks during the couple hour wait at the Apple Barrel downstairs (which included a tequila shot with Rick Reilly who shockingly is not less douchey in person) I have only hazy memories of a veal drowned in ocean sauce that was absolutely awesome. I need to confirm my memory, but the way the place is set up it's difficult to make it to the meal with faculties intact.
I am not familiar with Ocean Sauce..is it a proprietary recipe? Looking at their website it looks like they will put it on about everything.
It's their specialty. Basically a shrimp, crab, crawfish, shit load of butter, white wine sauce that tastes like heaven.
This has nothing to do with anything, but I was in the San Francisco area this weekend, and I ate a shit load of fresh crab (Dungeness season started last week). It was probably closer to two shit loads.
Where did you eat it? I'm looking for some new spots in SF
Crabs are everywhere. Crab season just opened, and it's apparently the best year in many years. We bought some right off the boat in Half Moon Bay, and there was a restaurant right there at the pier that cooked them for us. Also at some place on Pier 39 in SF. But you can get them anywhere between now and the end of the year.
I always suspected San Francisco was a great place to get the crabs.
Tried this out this weekend. Holy crap that's a good libation. Thanks for the heads up.
Had to try this last night at Julep on Washington... I concur to its awesomeness.
