Corned beef and cabbage is always a Tuesday special at @mandinasrestaurant and, coincidentally, St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday this year and that’s today!

If you’re headed out to celebrate, padding the belly with something this hearty is just good science.

The idea of chicken parm sharing a menu with shrimp remoulade is perfectly normal at Mandina’s, following its Creole-Italian mode.

So what explains the standing weekly special of the quintessential American-Irish corned beef and cabbage?

“My grandfather really liked it, and wanted it on the menu, so I’m not messing with it,” fourth-generation proprietor Cindy Mandina told me.

Onion rings and Ms Hilda’s extra-strong old fashioned optional.

Air conditioning still advertised, though not needed today.

Another fab fish & chips find, this one at @porgysnola - a Friday only special during Lent (maybe, hopefully longer?) this time with flounder, mushy peas and curry sauce.

The market/deli is a playground for seafood lovers.

Thai style ceviche, a cast-iron-dark seafood gumbo loaded with enormous shrimp and nice oysters (potato salad optional) and the crawfish roll another special today.

Go talk smack with the “lady mongers” (and the gent mongers too).

STARLESS

@knifespoonorlando at the Ritz-Carlton was once the standard. When Michelin first touched Florida, they got their star and honestly, before that even happened, I already felt they deserved it. At one point, hands down my favorite steakhouse in Orlando. No debate.

Then they lost the star… and I didn’t get it.

I came back to find out why… and now I do.

On paper, this menu is elite. The ideas, the combinations, the cocktails… everything reads like a Michelin experience. But somewhere between concept and execution, there’s a disconnect. The plates look beautiful. The intention is there. But the flavor doesn’t always follow through.

Let’s be clear, this wasn’t a bad meal. But at this level, “not bad” is a problem.

The highlights? Surprisingly, the sides stole the show.
The crab fried rice was so good we ordered one to go.
The kimchi creamed spinach might’ve been the best thing on the table… no exaggeration.

The crudo and scallops were technically solid… just missing some S & P.

The 2 pastas: EPIC FAIL

The Akaushi bone-in ribeye, over $200 felt underwhelming. I’ve had it here before and it was unforgettable, the fat literally tasted like popcorn. This time? No “wow.” No magic. That signature richness just wasn’t there.

The supposed showstopper, tuna & foie missed completely. Tuna was on point, but the foie? Hard, off, and honestly disappointing… especially for someone who loves foie.

Cocktails? This one hurt. The menu reads like a dream for a cocktail guy like me… but out of six drinks, only one delivered: Temperance in Tea Pot. Layered, funky, beautifully presented. The rest didn’t live up to their own description.

Desserts followed the same pattern… great ideas, great visuals… but not memorable.
Except for the soufflé. That one hit spot on!

And that’s the story here.

Knife & Spoon feels like a Monet painting—impressive from a distance, but when you get close, the details don’t hold up the way you expect.

Now I understand the star being taken away.

The talent is there. The vision is there. But at this level, execution is everything and right now, it’s just not fully connecting.

You know the @vaucressoncreolecafeanddeli name from Jazz Fest and French Quarter Fest, where the family has served its Creole hot sausage po-boys from the start.

This heritage Creole business has partnered with a rising one, chef Bunny Young and her @eatcrawbabiesnola , to transform the deli with a robust daily menu.

Eating here feels like going back in time, to an era when many more neighborhood Creole joints dotted the city. It’s the kind of New Orleans cooking too often overlooked amid the flash and buzz of new trends.

But it’s the bedrock flavor that gives this city so much of its culinary weight to begin with and is immensely satisfying to see thriving here.

Start with the gumbo, gizzards and all.

Also here:
Smothered okra

Crawfish etouffee

Turnip greens (green change up daily)

The seafood potato Pontchartrain, with a whole fried catfish in there

Homey sides, lovey cake

And still those Vaucresson sausage po-boys on the table too.

Remember, closed Mondays.

No, the photos surfacing again from @beviseafoodco were not throwbacks.

Justin LeBlanc boiled some of the best crawfish in town at his old Bevi shops.

Now he’s back in pop-up form on weekends at the former home of Avo.

I went to check it out.

The Avo dining room still looks ready to serve (the restaurant is closed and for sale), but this pop-up is all for takeout (Audubon Park and the Fly are nearby).

Daiqs are back too, and the pineapple/rum with a snap of ginger in there is a nicely not-too-sweet pairing for the crawfish.

Find him there Sat. and Sun. from 1 p.m.
