“Serving the Shenandoah Valley since ’62″

Got some great cuts from this dirt road wonder in the middle of remote VA. Incredibly, they had a website. And fortunately, good wine in the Farm cellar.

6 reasonably priced NY Strips for the town-come-to-country kids, and a sack of potatoes. Real deal folks.

yes, they have a website. http://www.crabills.com/

This was the last burger I ate at the Bistro. The news of its closure is heartbreaking. A great space, great chef, and my favorite burger in New Orleans.

I’m sure Chef Picolo and his excellent staff will be somewhere new soon!

Everyone’s gotta favorite poboy spot, and for different reasons. I think much of it has to do with the memories surrounding the joint.

Anyways, my fave poboy, in the world (both a provocative and subjective statement), is a fully dressed shrimp from Olde Tyme Grocery in Lafayette, LA.  Note I didn’t type “best”, I said “favorite.”

Don’t forget the Zapp’s and a root beer.

Everyone knows the key to a great burger is a fresh grind. Lotta people have their own secret blends & prep, but I like keeping it simple.

Via new Rouses in Lafayette, a 50/40/10 blend of prime rib eye, top sirloin, and pork short rib, makes for a beautiful burg. Little salt and pepper, done.

Found a whodat fan in the fish section.
