Came to @porgysnola to shop oysters for Thanksgiving , stayed for the big fat shrimp po-boy, Thai-style ceviche of amberjack and the daily special - this time spicy ground shrimp and squash curry with apple, cuc and daikon salad , your cue in that @pwchell formerly of MoPho is cooking here these days.

Oysters from @bayourosaoysters , @murderpointoysterco and @tesvichoysterfarms.2 “reef candy” for the big day.

Draw a day-trip diameter around New Orleans, and the range of places where you can feel that desired release from the norm and still be back home the same night, is varied but not exactly endless.

So it was a joy to discover how the new restaurant @saintclaire_neworleans has created a new one that’s actually within the city limits.

Saint Claire will serve you a lovely dinner, in the vein of French country cooking filtered through Louisiana.

It also an enchanting destination, thanks to a combination of an old house with a new glow-up, the expansive, oak-laden grounds around it and the warmth of hospitality.

People go on retreats for the kind restorative feeling I took away from an early Friday dinner around sunset.

@evviva.nola is the restaurant you visited in Italy, the neighborhood spot that speaks softly and that you couldn’t stop talking about afterward.

It’s the one with the menu that reads simply, overdelivers in fresh and vivid flavors, and changes constantly with the market and the catch of the day. You swore that after that your trip you’d keep eating like this back home, and now you can again at Evviva.

It reunited a circle of people who opened the restaurant this year (in the former Franklin), including two chefs who have fed us so well through the years, Rebecca Wilcomb - once of Herbsaint and Gianna - and Marcus Jacobs - of the late Marjie’s Grill and Seafood Sally’s.

Start with happy hour, which goes late and always has something new and interesting coming through, like a workshop for the two chefs behind this kitchen.

Some photos here by @cgranger of the roasted mussels, endive/radicchio salad and anchovy bread, and garlicky grilled shrimp, martinis and vibes.

Enchiladas, the Honduran type, piled high at La Cocinita in Kenner.

There was just one other customer in the dining room when I chowed down on this at the peak workday lunch hour this week, plus a few people coming in for take out - which has been a lifeline for some.

Link in my bio has my story on how Hispanic restaurants and markets are suffering in the New Orleans area right now and how bringing them a little more business can go along way to support.

Cocktails off the naughty list and a very nice Réveillon dinner at @caneandtable .

This is one of those French Quarter businesses right up against it, meaning the construction fences, that will be here for months to come. But inside, it’s just delightful, as usual.

The garlic soup on the Reveillon menu from @alfredo_nogueira is worth a visit all on its own. We added a few things of course - that pork ribeye, so good!

They call it a wine bar but don’t miss the cocktails at @winebaratemerils , especially these seasonal beauties:

🎄nutcracker Manhattan with sherry, amaro, pecan bitters

🌶️tamarind sour with smoky mezcal, chile and cocoa

🐝the apiary old fashioned with bee pollen.

A visit for snacks at the bar before some downtown holiday hotel lobby hopping was a causally elegant and delicious dinner.

Foie gras as bar snack, gumbo with velvety texture, deep flavor, and amazing rice (really!), shrimp and lobster dumplings, and duck fried rice.

【横浜ラーメン 真砂家】
真砂町に根ざす家系ラーメン

横浜・関内駅前の商業施設「セルテ」の中、ラーメン横丁の一角に暖簾を掲げる『真砂家』。その名は所在地の「真砂町」に由来する潔いもの。1974年創業の吉村家に端を発した家系ラーメンの歴史、その直系である王道家、そして田上家の流れを汲み、2020年に誕生した一店だ。

ラーメンは、豚骨と鶏ガラをじっくり炊き出したスープに醤油ダレを合わせた王道スタイル。表面には豚の脂がきらめき、ひと口飲めば動物系の厚みが広がり、すぐさま醤油のキレが余韻を整える。見た目は力強く、味わいは驚くほど素直。体がスッと受け入れるバランス感覚は、やはり系譜に裏打ちされたものだ。

麺は短めの太麺。もちもちとした弾力で、スープをしっかり持ち上げる。具材は家系三種の神器「海苔・ほうれん草・チャーシュー」。海苔はスープを吸わせ、ライスに巻けば至高のひと口。ほうれん草は青みで脂を和らげ、チャーシューは厚みある肉感が満足感を約束する。

卓上調味料も家系らしく充実。おろしニンニクを加えればパンチが効き、豆板醤で辛味を纏わせればご飯が止まらない。ショウガを落とせば後味が軽やかに。ライスは100円というお手頃さで、スープと合わせれば箸とレンゲが止まらない。

家系らしい骨太な味わいをきちんと届けてくれる一杯。安定感のある仕上がりで、素直に美味しいと思える一杯。横浜の系譜を守りながら、真砂町という土地に根ざした存在感を感じさせるお店でした。ご馳走様です。

NEW Pizza spot in Houston — Brought the whole family to the new Murray’s Pizza & Wine, and it was a hit with everyone! Cozy inside, an inviting outdoor patio, and service that was excellent from start to finish. Everything we tried was delicious, especially the Local Lettuces salad, Meatballs, and Crudo.

Go with a group so you can try all the pizzas. Leftovers are a bonus because the pizza still tastes incredible the next day. That crust is so good. It’s chewy, lightly blistered, with just the right crunch. Murray’s really nails it. And their Prosciutto & Arugula pizza is the best version I’ve had in Houston.

For dessert, don’t miss the Italian Bread Pudding. I’m usually not a bread pudding fan, but this one won me over, especially with a scoop of pistachio gelato. Such a great, family-friendly spot that we’ll definitely be back to!
