I had the gumbo at Cochon about this time last year. It was awesome.
Now I've just been to NOLA the one time, and it was chicken so there is that

Gumbo...the fancy places like Commanders, Antoines, etc are usually fantastic....I like Praline Connection and Mandina's as well.
Best poboy is really more about who does good ones in your neighborhood. I like several places....some of the revered ones that I feel are overrated but still solid are Parkway, Domilsies (sp), and Crabby Jack. I frequent Adams street & Guy's Poboys as well. Mothers is fine but they are a tourist trap price wise.
Fried Chicken at Willie Mae's is solid but certainly not the best in the country as has been acclaimed. I recommend Brunch at Dante's still.

i haven't searched for tix in a decade. I prefer my couch or a bar for a game. @Tigerfan might help that question.
I will be around that weekend. Come have some eats and a beer! look forward to it.

we have a NOLA thread.....this one is about ME...ME ME ME ME ME 
Add this to the list of things I never considered I would ever have occasion to say: Close to 30 pounds of my food and some sides are on a private jet to Argentina to feed a bunch of businessmen in the morning. LOL.

I've been to Catahoula, nice little restaurant in there too. Just a cafe but one of the few vegetarian / South American places here.

For poboys I bring people to Mahoney's on Magazine or Parway on Hagan by the Bayou. I'd also say Frankie & Johnny's which is way Uptown (Arabella, Tchoupitoulas).
But Johnny's is fine if you;re walking around the FQ. I'd actually say go to Acme, then Mr. Ed's but I've been to Johnny's, the thing is the seafood is not as good as the two other places IMHO.
On gumbo like poboys it's all a matter of taste. It depends on what kind of gumbo you like. I'd actually send people to Mr. B's for the dark roux gumbo. i think John Beche at Luke will have a good one also and so will Palace Cafe.
For poboys there's also Mother's but the line is likely long because a lot of tourists get sent there.
Also Bon Ton Cafe on Magazine by Poydras is very good for gumbo and local food too. Their gumbo is more on the des herbes side.
Mahoney's should have a good gumbo too. Really Guy's and Magazine Street poboys are good too IMO.
Crabby Jack's is run by the chef who runs Jacques Imo's - if you're willing to go to Metry you might as well go to Jefferson Hwy. (it's not pretty but also not dangerous).

I was so skeptical b/c it was basically a run down strip mall....but eventually I had heard such good things about it from people I trust, so I went...and it exceeded expectations. Nothing but rave reviews online as well
FWIW, I went all out and got the Yumbo Mumbo Gumbo - http://www.gumbostop.com/menu.html

Summer has been fairly slow. I'm not sure how all these places in town make it during this time of year now. September usually will see a few places close. Its bound to happen this fall too. We literally have double the number of places in the metro than we did before Katrina. I'm thankful I got out of Magazine before this summer hit...it could have been ugly. That being said ...i just had 3 great days of catering finishing off with a whole pig today. The rest of the weekend looks bleak for that, but the pits will be full anyway with food for the flood victims which feels better than hustling for a profit for once.

Made there when I as in town. Whoa. Everyone was blown away by the food. All meats and sides plus some apps. I think my favorites were the fried boudin, sausage, egg rolls, Mac n cheese, slaw, ribs, and pulled pork (If you're going to make me narrow it down). Oh and the chicken and brisket. And rice. We ended up hanging out there for a few hrs. Tispey got to chat with us for a bit. Beer, bbq, and Noles. Good times. I was hoping to make it a 2nd time to try the cheesesteak and cordon blue sandwich. Guess I had to save something for next time. We just need to work on direct flights from SD to NO.
Also, hell of a town you fellas got there. Music on Frenchman, awesome food everywhere, great craft beer and killer cocktails. We accidentally ended up on Oak st during that party. Holy #### what a night that was. First time I've seen to pickup trucks go ### to ### to create a pool in the streets
soooooo many dudes in bikinis too.

Kind of annoyed with how they worded that Last Night for THEM facebook event they created....so many phone calls asking what was up.
Not about to go anywhere....things were certainly slower for the summer but still doing fine. Catered 4k in house last week alone so that will always be hard to walk away from.

If you can fly it, he can cook it. Didn't you see the update on some of his Q being flown to Argentina recently?

In house sales by 3 to 1 usually....catering here is up to the tap room folks booking parties for the most part. Offisite events are now limited to a couple a week at most because I don't have that second kitchen yet and its tough to prep in our tiny area at this point....not to mention staffing. I can push for more of that soon enough...definitely going to start pushing for more deliveries to office buildings during lunch soon. Taco truck downtown during day, bars at night is really what is supposed to happen next but I am in debt clearing mode big time so that is on hold.

And yes...i could be persuaded to cater anywhere I can drive my pit. It won't be very cheap however.

oh...and the pop up is leaving on their own accord...they are pursuing a brick and mortar space or so they tell me. They could possibly be annoyed with this place after the summer as well....they pay a good chunk to me to be here and it has been terrible on Tuesdays lately.
We are opening Tuesdays instead of getting another pop up. I'll host nights like our Jamaican night or someone else doing a once a month thing, but I catered on 20 of the 52 Tuesdays this past year so it makes sense to just be open. I may do Jamaica one night a month, a once a month pig roast and possibly a fancy small plate night once a month to break up the monotony and help create a Tuesday buzz.

Yep! Part of closing the magazine store was to surround myself here at the brewery with all of my staff and take some of the pressure off myself. I am working less hours and less physically as well. I am almost exclusively a figurehead now..I have three guys I oversee on the pit duties, a GM that is doing scheduling, inventory, and shopping, one staff helping me with catering emails & such. My labor is a bit high, but that is well worth the stress relief I have gotten. For no reason at all I just didn't even come in last weekend....it was awesome.
At the same time....I have no idea what to do with myself when not working. Sadly the 25 pounds I had lost since opening here at brewery have all come back now since it seems I just like eating with my spare time. Its kind of sad....but I am without hobbies now. Some of that is my disdain for the heat....maybe I'll play some golf this fall.
