darkstar965 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Duke's Grocery Was that a new record for easiest/fastest? You must be a fan? I think this a damn good burger and, at $10, reasonably priced even with one of the stranger ordering constraints of any burger. "Medium Rare or Well Done" but no other temp. Evidently, the copper counter also visible is both new and popular with staff since easier to keep clean than the previous wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 You're way off base with that. edited to add: this place shouldn't be off the radar; I read about it here, and plenty of members have eaten there and posted about it. Are you telling me this isn't fried wheat dough? Because I thought it was a stuffed bhatura. But if it's not fried, it's baked (which would explain the bubbles), and it's some type of Szechuan globular puff that's been unpuffed, but it's not Chang's scallion bread because there are no scallions. It's the wrong shape for a fatayer, and it's not fry bread (I was originally thinking something like Mitsitam). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuit Girl Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm glad to read that, because the night I had it, the noodles were undercooked to the point of being doughy. Otherwise it was a nice soup. Where did I dine? It it Mitsitam Cafe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely eat a full portion of chips with any sandwich or burger but these were easy to finish. Sadly, not Acadiana though. Hint: I was inspired by Ilaine, NolaCaine and MC Horoscope on the "Cajun v.

Choirgirl21 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I swear I either saw that dish or saw it on a menu recently and it's killing me that I can't remember where. I guessed Kapnos because I've only been there and to Acadiana recently and that dish is more Kapnos-y (as is the table), but I don't think that's it.

Good guess in keeping with the hint about the spot's focus being more on ingredient (oyster) versus the cuisine (New Orleans). But, wasn't Hank's. I am going Woodward Table for the Po'Boy Reasonable too but not so much a single or narrow ingredient focus at WT. And, just kidding here but you should have had an unfair advantage and gotten this one?! FWIW, the pictures are upside down here on my work (windows) machine. And I cannot enlarge the photos to see the main ingredient of the poboy in greater detail....Rappahanock? We have a winner!

Was wondering about that too. With the exception of the BreadFeast dinners they used to have with Frank Ruta, I don't think BF serves food like that unless there was another special dinner more recently. Beyond the baked goods, most foods that can be consumed there are different salads, sandwiches, soups, and occasional chicken or other proteins reheated and served on simple, disposable (recyclable) plates. I'm a regular there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choirgirl21 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 New rule (a la Bill Maher? ): If you post a photo asking "Where did I dine?" you cannot drop off the face of the earth and leave all of us who have posted guesses hanging.

I'm not baiting you; just pointing out that you don't suck at this game after all. Here's your one clue: I usually don't drink coffee black, and the reason I put a little cream and sugar in isn't because I like it; it's to mask the taste.
