Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'
pimm's cups
I think it would depend on the competition, but an opening dish for Top Chef might be pan seared grouper on a white bean puree with braised leeks.
I can not begin to tell you how much THAT couple irritated me on LRS. I wanted to reach trough the screen and throttle the little Florida girl. When the US is represented as such, one can understand why folks in other countries have an unkind opinion.
More to point on "The Chopping Block", it id definitely Last Restaurant Standing, though it sounds a tad different if there are only two restaurants and not eight. I am sure I will watch.
hangar steak with bone marrow bordelaise and twice cooked fries with my wife and kids
i am the king of an all day (or more) braise, but lately, I have jumped on the sous vide bandwagon
well said edina. Bayona is consistently in my top 5 for my home town. Not to mention, it is nice to know that she is actually in the kitchen most nights - eventhough she is involved in other ventures around town.
I do love me an oyster po-boy, but Chef Spicer's duck sandwich does not suck.
LOVE!
But for practical purposes, salt and heat. Knowing how to salt/season your food is half the battle the other half is is know you equipment and know when your food is done.
sweetbreads, tongue tacos, chicken livers, hog's head cheese, boudain noir, FOIE FOIE FOIE
Not knocking the one's you have listed, but roast beef po' boys are a religion here in the big easy and everyone has an opinion. Parkway is good, but i will bet you would get 10 different answers from 100 people around town. I do not think there is a local who would say "Mother's" however. For me, it is Parasol's in the Irish Channel.
I will give yo Bozo's though. There are other places around town that are just as good, Cassemento's, Crabby Jack's, etc but I do not think you would get into a fist fight about it.
Mario, such language.
I have made pestos with other herbs (though never fennel fronds) but I have not added the tomatoes to the puree before. That sounds fantastic.
We planted cinnamon basil this year and used it in conjunction with toasted pecans for a variation on pesto Genovese that worked pretty well.

Alcoholic- margaritas hands down (fresh limes though)
Non Alcoholic- iced tea
Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.
Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.
Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!
I love a Sea Breeze - vodka, cranberry juice, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Ahhh!
Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.
for me its gotta be lemonaide or a margarita...yum!
