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.

i am the king of an all day (or more) braise, but lately, I have jumped on the sous vide bandwagon

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.

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.

First, let me say I am in no way, shape, or form a Bush fan, nor am I a screaming liberal who thinks the government needs to hand out everything to the people. Ok, got that out of the way....

I applaud Leah Chase. Her story is one of many here in the big easy. Yes we still need help. No the White house has not provided as it should have. That still does not mean that we should change who WE are. New Orleanians are nothing if we are not gracious and hospitable. New Orleans is about the people and the character of the city. Katrina and it's aftermath will not define us.

I could not agree more and said so in a comment on the Summer Shack entry. I order a large sauce mayo cheese.

My wife swears by Nick's in Beverly but she is obviously crazy... she married me.

There may not be a finer poor boy in the city. (And yes, I say poor boy b/c that is what it was when the Martin brothers served them to the striking streetcar drivers in 1929) There are some good back ups around though. The paneed rabbit with creole mustard served right there at Crabby Jack's is one.

Of course, many will debate who has the best roast beef in town, but I like Parasol's in the Irish Channel. I am not claiming it is the best, but it is certainly up there.

That may be the funniest this I have seen all week. Look out Bourdain, your days may be numbered.

I am a New Orleanian who lived outside of Boston for 6 years and when I think of shore food, I can not help but think of Kelly's on the beach in Revere MA. I have had a lobster roll at the Clam Shack in Kennebunkport and they are good, but there is just something about Kelly's. They make a great lobster roll and the beef is fantastic.

I grew up on Roast beef PoBoys but I do love the roast beef joints in New England - rare beef and sauce on a bun. Kelly's is the best. Though I am sure that will spark controversy if only with my wife. Some how even the ginger ale taste better at Kelly's. It is definitely what I think of when someone mentions shore food.

P.S. intheyearofthepig, Uglesich's is closed maybe forever, but not because of Katrina. They actually closed before the storm. Anthony wanted to retire and the next generation did not want to take over. However, Anthony and Gail are rumored to be bored with retirement so ...
