You almost can?t pick up a glossy travel or food magazine these days without spotting a mention of some local restaurant or chef. This month, it?s Travel + Leisure, which named the Red Fish Grill to its list of the Best Seafood Restaurants in the United States.
The list also includes powerhouses like Le Bernardin in New York, innovative eateries like Uchi + Uchiko in Austin, and low-key fish houses like the Hogfish Bar & Grill in Stock Island, Fla., found ?tucked between a trailer park and the shrimp docks.?
About Red Fish Grill, the magazine writes: ?On Bourbon Street, amid jacket-and-tie establishments and strip clubs, this casual, family-friendly restaurant pairs colorful, funky d?cor (oyster-shaped mirrors, bar stools ornamented with alligators, and fish mobiles suspended from the ceiling) with creative interpretations of New Orleans seafood. The BBQ oysters?flash-fried, tossed in Crystal Hot Sauce, and served with blue cheese dressing?are a clever riff on Buffalo wings.?
Now grab your fork and your calendar, here?s a roundup of other food news:
Farmers market extends its hours ? It?s about to be a lot easier to fit a trip to the Hollygrove Market & Farm into your schedule. The farm, which sells fresh, locally grown produce at 8301 Olive St. and through a home produce delivery service, is extending its hours.
As of Nov. 3, the market will be open Tuesdays through Thursdays, noon to 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The produce home delivery service will be offered Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 4 to 8 p.m., Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m., and Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Details: www.hollygrovemarket.com or email info@hollygrovemarket.com.
Would you like cheese with that? ? ?Cooking with Cheese? will be the topic of a five-course dinner Oct. 23 at Saint Lawrence, the French Quarter restaurant and pub at 219 North Peters St. The $65 event will feature cheese from St. James Cheese paired with craft beers from Bayou Teche Brewery and dishes from St. Lawrence?s kitchen. The menu includes: Bruleed Lincoln Log goat cheese (Ann Arbor, MI), beet chips, kumquat, micro greens with lemon gastrique; roasted pepper arancini with cashew pesto and Harbison (Greensboro, VT) cheese; and seared venison loin with Rogue River Blue (Central Point,OR) and cherry demiglace.
