Tales of the Extemporaneous Luncheon

Had Key West bartender friends in town this week for Tales of the Cocktail.
After an entire week of missed connections, we finally managed to get Dave, Al, and Terry over to the house for our own Southern-style Lazy Sunday Afternoon Suckerpunch-to-the-Duodenum. Afterward, we popped off to Tujague's and the Spotted Cat for drinkies and abbreviated lessons in New Orleans' history.

However.

We worked up to those history lessons with this lesson in Why You Should Come to Our House Hongry:

(...and smokin a bowl first couldn't hurt...)

Cornmeal-Tempura Fried Green Tomatoes with Horseradishy Remoulade Butter.
Dirty Rice with Locally Farmed Vegetables, Cajun Cow Sausage, and Melty Brie.
Smothered Local Sweet Corn, Onions, and Creole Tomatoes.
Blackberry-Mustard Barbecued Chicken Gams.
Butter-Fried Bread Pudding with Steen's Cane Syrup.

...'Cause we secretly can't stand these guys.

Thanks for lettin us feed y'all.
Come back and see us sometime.
