hood finally completely functional (the ansel system wasn't wired). Need a state fire marshal inspection (no problem), the health inspection which is usually the hardest (but i think we will nail it....kitchen has 25 years experience between 4 guys not including me), and a permit to operate. All these thing could be done in next 3-5 biz days. Hopefully we open next weekend.

I am crazy with anticipation.

I've been lurking as this venture has unfolded over time. I'm very excited for you and hope that your opening is better than you could have even imagined. Best of luck.

 

[Abraham]

Good for you. It's cool to remember 15 months ago when you were just thinking this up. Happy it's finally coming true for you.

Stopped by yesterday with my buddy after lunch just to take a peak. Looks good

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

A little early to try to collect insurance money, no?

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

Start direct tweeting to @BBQSnob . Pester him to come down to the area. CC: Alice Lassaude too, they are internet bff. Harrass them like a high school kid pestering Kate Upton for a prom date.

congrats, GB

so great to see after the journey we've seen you go through on these boards

i've never been to New Orleans before, but i think a visit to McClure's is enough to push me over the edge and find my way down.

Wish you the best of success - the pics on FB look fantastic. Way better than I would have imagined if you had told me the concept.

Do you have an official opening day set?

 

[Gadabout]

Looking forward to making the two-block journey once it's open.

 

[NCCommish]

Best of luck

Hoping to coordinate a trip to NOLA to visit neil's spot in september in time with my buddy Patrick Dodd playing a 2-3 night stint in town as part of a Southeastern Tour. Waiting to hear back on dates but good chance we'll be coming down with a few folks for that weekend.

Gonna maybe see if Pat wants to do a little solo acoustic set one afternoon at McClures or something

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

wish he could book a night at bon temps across the street...its kinda small but those are the best shows.

Amen to that. Just heard back.. he doesn't have the dates in front of him but the show(s) will be at House of Blues apparently. Solid option.

I was just watching something on Destination channel or travel, not sure

It was this guy in Texas who basically sold brisket out of a truck on wax paper. Looked awesome. had a line down the road.

But when his food was gone, he posted a sign saying no more for the day.

I know you are smoking all morning to have the food ready, what happens if you run out of food

It happens! That's how BBQ joints roll. Food with long prep times can sometimes run out. Not like you can just whip up another batch. That's the balance of cooking too much (waste) or not enough (missed opportunity).

A week to perform X on a water heater seems long unless X is "fabricate it from budwiser tall boys"

No, they have a real life restaurant. If you go inside for a meal you will smell like BBQ for a week afterwards.

no, that wasn't it and it wasn't Aaron Franklin either. I know him from BBQ grill masters with Tuffy and Myron. Let me see if I can find it online. Doesn't help that I don't know what channel it was on.

Im still looking for the piece that I saw on TV though. Sorry to doubt you Tony

 

[Deepster]

Tipsy, I have enjoyed this thread more than any other thread I've followed on this site since joining in 2003. I love to cook, I can stumble my way around a serviceable rack of ribs (for a CT boy) and have lived vicariously through your entire journey here.

I know you are close to the open and while I know you don't need it, I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your new spot.

 

[AcerFC]

OK, last post on this since I dont want to muddy Tipsys thread

Here is the show I was watching

http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/bbq-crawl

Its called BBQ crawl on Travel channel. I dont see the episode I watched. Not sure why, but I cant find it. It does have the episode at Louie Mueller that I think Tony saw, but not the one with John at his roadside place.

Did the water heater murder four people, and now it's a crime scene? What could a water heater do to delay you a week?

YOu can swap a hot water heater in a couple hours max... depending on where it's located.

However this is NOLA. I'm sure there's some crazy permit/inspection you have to get from some office only open every other tuesday from noon-2p.
