WHERE CAN I FIND THE BEST GUMBO? They all have said their momma’s house or a relative’s house. No one has ever suggested a restaurant to me.
So, where do I find the best gumbo?

Well, I know decent places in Austin and up here. I don’t go to enough restaurants in Louisiana to get gumbo there.

The best gumbo? That's a tough one. I've had both seafood and chicken/sausage gumbo at restaurants all around New Orleans metro area. From Deanie's in Bucktown to Commander's Palace to Coop's Place in the Quarter. Acme's Oyster, Brennan's, Arnuad's, Cafe Maspero, and, yes, even The Gumbo Shop. In their own way they have all been great. Had great gumbo in some hole in the walls in Kenner and Metairie, too.

Nice thing about crepes is you can go sweet or savory. With waffles all you have is chicken.

I have never had chicken with waffles. Only syrup. Maybe some butter.

First off, on this Memorial day, God Bless all service members and first responders who have given their lives for this country. Second, God Bless those who serve(d) and didn’t need to make that sacrifice!

Third, we had a great weather weekend here. Went out to the coast near Gloucester to enjoy the sun and water. We don’t get much crawfish, but the lobsters are great! Throwing on T-bones in the grill for some surf and turf to honor Memorial Day.

I echo those sentiments, Boston!

As for food, smoked a full brisket for eight hours yesterday, wrapped it and brought it up to 210 degrees, and then put it in a 140 warmer for what will be 21 more hours. Should be perfect.

Third day in a row out by our pool. The weather has been perfect.

I can't wait to taste everyone's cooking at the next BNG get together. I'd get fat real quick eating the good food that ya'll do.

Had a big rainstorm come through so I had to move my short ribs inside to finish…. Sautéed mushrooms and onions as a side. Green salad with blue cheese and beef rice a roni cause it’s easy and yummy.

I’m in Austin visiting my 90 YO pop getting ready for the game. We’ve got Popeyes chicken and red beans n rice. Also got 6 lbs of crawfish from a local restaurant. Let’s Geaux and stay healthy. Kinda glad they are resting so many starters. This game will go a long way to determining the backups.
