SaintsInDome2006 47,463 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Personally, I loved the greens. Real vinegary a little sweet. Not at all like I make them. Very, very good stuff.Agreed. The greens are excellent. I'm not sure if that falls under Creole, soul or Southern, but they are terrific. I used to go to a place called Dunbar's that had excellent greens like that, actually McClure's are better. Edited August 3, 2014 by SaintsInDome2006 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I ever go with fries the potato salad is gone. Fries are not likely at this location...I need a bigger kitchen mainly for the storage issue. Fries = many cases of potatoes a week. Right now i go through 1.25 cases a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buckfast 1 738 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Our fantasy football league's draft day barbecue feast from McClure's was incredible. I picked up an "All Meat, All Sides" catering order for 10-12 people on Saturday afternoon before our auction draft. We had huge trays of brisket, pulled pork, ribs, sausage, chicken, macaroni and cheese, barbecue jambalaya, pork and beans, collard greens, cole slaw, and cornbread. The amount of food that we had was just insane. As soon as we started digging in to our feast, everyone started raving about the barbecue and the sides. All of the smoked meats were incredible. Extremely tender and flavorful meat with a great smoke ring and smoke flavor and a really nice spicy flavorful bark. Several people in the league said that it was probably the best barbecue that they had ever had. People went crazy over the sides as well. There were way too many options to get all of the sides on your plate at one time, so a couple people would be raving about how incredible the pork and beans and jambalaya were while others were raving about the collard greens and macaroni and cheese. Then, everyone would go back for second helpings of the meat, select different sides, and then echo all of the raving from the other half of the league that got them the first time around. Everything was absolutely fantastic. It was really a highlight of our epic trip to New Orleans. We have a 12-year tradition of eating barbecue on our draft day, but this was without a doubt the best draft day barbecue experience we have ever had. It exceeded my already incredibly high expectations. We ate so much food that I think most of the league was in a food coma for the first hour of our auction draft, yet we kept taking regular beer/barbecue/bathroom breaks throughout the draft during which everyone kept eating even more barbecue. Tipsy, you definitely have a group of new hardcore fans across the country. Several people were saying that they wanted to write Yelp reviews for McClure's, even though they aren't even regular Yelpers. I'm going to write up a 5-star review this week. Thanks so much to Tipsy for coordinating and preparing all of the food for us. It was awesome. ETA - I took a bunch of pictures of our McClure's feast to post here, but unfortunately I woke up on Sunday morning in New Orleans with no phone and a terrible hangover. I'm pretty sure I accidentally donated my iPhone to a New Orleans taxi driver at around 5 AM on Sunday morning. I know my friends were taking pictures of our feast as well, so I'll see if someone can email me a picture to post. Edited August 6, 2014 by Buckfast 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Dickinson 17,896 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hey tipsy - saw your episode of Best In Chow. As others have said, I thought McClure's and you in particular came off well, more authentic than your competitors in the episode. That host didn't deserve to eat your food. On those street shots, I wanted him to get run over by Guy Fieri's convertible - getthat host off my TV, throw Fieri in jail for manslaughter, win-win. Seriously, though, so glad you got to be on the show, glad it has already expanded your customer base, and GL going forward. I shall dream of brisket cheesesteak tonight.

phowler13 32 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Got the spices on Tuesday. Opened my front door and could smelled them right away, I thought one had opened up in the package, but no they were all fine. Can't wait to try them out this weekend.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UOFI_316 734 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Have some friends down there for vacation and I recommended they swing by for dinner since I can't make it down there. A group of 6 may show up from Chicago and say they have a friend that knows you from the internets tonight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
