I'm walkin' to New Orleans







"...Jambalay, crawfish pie, filet gumbo, and tonight I'm gonna see my cheri-meo. Dress in style, go hog wild and be gay-o. Son-of-a-gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou!" -Dr. John, Harry Connick Jr.

I realize that I haven't blogged in awhile, partially because I've been wanting to keep the Obama story the main focus for a little bit. When it comes to food news however, some things need to take front page again. Like the newest venture I've been able to dream up - BOURBON STREET STEAK HOUSE.
No one panic, we are still moving forward with CHEF E's HOUSE OF SOUL. Okay. All I'm saying is that since I have been dubbed the "southern" food authority by some up here in the Nawf, that's north for all you northerners, I have expanded my interest to now include a full New Orlean's type menu as well. And for those of you who know my style, you can expect the same vibrant, playful, inviting atmosphere you're accustomed to with me. But with alot of Creole this time - and MEAT! When I say steakhouse, I mean steakhouse! But don't just sit there reading this, go to www.BourbonStreetSteakHouse.com

As for House of Soul, we are still going through the business, political and city planning channels that "they" are asking us to go through. And you know them - hurry up and wait.

But in the meantime and in between time, I can be found in South St. Paul for a minute, with a bucket of crawdads and some gumbo. 494 east to Concord 156 exit, make a left and drive for a half mile or so until you reach the huge castle like building across from Burger King and Subway. I'll be lookin' fo' y'all now! A little something to tide you over til' we're in MPLS again.
As always, SAY IT LOUD! and a new call as well - "laissez le bon temps roulet!" (let the good times roll!)

"We movin' on up weezy!!!"
