Oh, I see what it is. We have that here in Denmark as well, called "Sylte". A traditional X-mas staple.
Not my cup of tea.

First of all, congrats. Such an awesome journey to follow along here and to have experienced in person.McBbq first official meal was served in November 2011 at Dante's as a pop up.
I quit Dante's in December 2011, but continued to pop up there on Tuesdays, and then all the weekday lunches for a few months.
Opened Magazine in July 2013.
Opened at NOLA Brewing in July 2015.
Closed Magazine in March 2016.
As of the end of this month, I will have been in full time operations (not a pop up) for 5 years.....holy crap!!
Vegetarians have options here. I do smoked veggie tacos, nachos, and a smoked mushroom melt. Give me a heads up and I'll smoke some leaves and twigs for your rabbit.
Looking forward to seeing you my friend.
Are you finally cutting your hours, getting some rest, and enjoying it? And are you finally making some $$ at this point? Because your success so far would have me hoping you are.

Holy crap. This smoked chicken liver mousse I made yesterday is freaking good. So was the caramel & chocolate covered double smoked bacon with pecan sprinkles. Time to make the pimento cheese.

Hah, I still have my McClure’s original T-shirt. Something about not winning friends with salads. It’s gotta be 5 years old as well. Damn, the last time in NO was more than 5 years. I just have 0 reasons to go anywhere near there for work, sports or family.

Speaking of fried chicken, a chicken & waffles place recently opened in my town & it's glorious!

Fried Chicken just went 7 days a week. Original Buttermilk. Pepper Jelly. Alabama White Sauce. or Hot AF Chicken. Check out my facebook or instagram for photos. Stuff is good.

No. Actually struggling a bit. Sales have been really bad all summer and I'm really feeling sting of not having beverage profits on the bottom line.James Daulton said:

Fried chicken went full time last week. It is exactly 10% of sales so far. Not bad.
Politician Spock
Footballguy
Is that a 10% increase in sales, or are the people that were coming in anyway just buying a different option?

Not to be a downer, but I read that Dante's has closed. That's a shame.

Apologies to the mods for circumventing the language filter but HOLY #### OUR GUY IS FEATURED IN A WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE.

Those articles are great, but this post really talks to the struggles of opening a restaurant. The amount of good press and ratings tipsy has gotten and it’s still a struggle. Hope post summer picks up.

Congrats @tipsy mcstagger - hoping to be able to stop by to try your fried chicken in the not too distant future!

Crowd demand was apparently off the charts judging by pictures I saw. Tipsy’s lines were 5-10x longer than other booths in the photo

I think I still have it. I'm pretty sure that I stuck it in a corner cabinet in my office that I put random crap into, and forgot about it (i.e., haven't touched it). I'm out of town at a conference most of this week. I'll check when I get back to work and shoot you a PM. ETA: Also welcome to shoot me a PM with contact info if you have an e-mail address that is easier to reach you at.

I'll be in town this week for the ABA Tax Section meeting. Planning to make at least one trip to McClure's. Probably Thursday dinner, maybe Saturday lunch. Maybe I'll bring a tax lawyer or two with me.

I haven't had a chance to post my review yet, but here it is:
I wanted to try as many items as possible so I got the 3 meat (ribs, brisket, pork), 2 sides (cole slaw, jambalaya) plate. Also got a blonde ale from the bar which went perfectly. Ribs, brisket and cole slaw were 5 stars. Pork and jambalaya were only 4 stars, but both probably suffered from the fact that I was pretty full by the time I got to them. I also tried 3 sauces--KC, North Carolina and South Carolina. My favorite was a mixture of North Carolina & South Carolina. (Is that just "Carolina" sauce?) Anyhow, my intention was to eat only about half of the plate, but I somehow managed to eat everything. After reading this thread for 8 years, it was really a treat!
Additional comment: I actually walked to McClure's from my hotel near the Superdome, about 3 miles. It was fun/interesting to see the neighborhoods in the city but (1) I've never seen so many missing or confusing walk/don't walk signs at intersections and (2) the streets and sidewalks are in terrible condition--even worse than Los Angeles, which I didn't think was possible.

Good lord buddy, what gave you that idea? - On 1. no one looks at those, 2. it gets pretty bad. The infrastructure is absurd, water is running underground and we're built on a swamp.

@tipsy mcstagger Mrs. Foos is coming to New Orleans for work but she might stop in to sample your meat. She'll be there May 30th - Jun 1st. Should I have her ask for just the Tipsy when she gets to the counter?

Tips where's that fried chicken recipe?
