Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm in New Orleans this week for work so me and couple guys went to Houston's tonight and damn them are some good bbq ribs. Best I've eaten in a long time.

It's a sad, sad day when you find yourself in New Orleans and consider BBQ the food of choice. But, you are from LA, so I guess it is not all that common for you.
I swear, cajuns can cook up just about anything under the sun, but it has been my experience that they absolutely can NOT BBQ correctly. I'm sure that this place does a fine job, but most cajuns I know consider pouring a jar of Kraft BBQ sauce over some burnt, grilled meat "good BBQ."

Brooks, is it the chain, Houstons? or is it a local place NO place?

It's the chain

cajun is to BBQ as yankee is to gumbo

Well mmm mmm, great food! We dont have any in Tulsa, but the last time i was in Dallas i ate there. Did you get some of that cheese bread stuff?

Ate there yesterday. Went to the one in Metairie. They have some of the best chicken tenders you will ever eat. I don't believe the one on St. Charles serves them. Its an off the menu dish.

decent steaks thats for sure

Basin are you there for the UI show? Supposed to make it, but i'll be stuck in Fourchon.

try TJ Ribs in BR, good babybacks!!!

IMO Brown's grill in Prairieville has the best BBQ ribs in South La.

But TJ's aint half bad either

good friend of mine owns Mulates in NO, if your ever there, ask for Murphy and ask for the TN Vol special.

FOOLS..... ribs is trash meat.

Dey used to throw dat shit away back in the day until dey found sum sucker to pay for a pile of bones & cartilage. lol

now u might be on to sumthin.......

the next time you do a crawfish boil, I'm buying a couple of lobsters for us to try in the boil.

Go ahead and start the planning process. With the weather warming up, you should start getting into some soon...right???

I'm catchin a few sacks now.... just not real plentiful yet. I should be up to 5 or 6 sacks per run by next week... but we gonna wait til da price comes down. I'll be damned if I'm gonna bring sum home to eat while I'm gettin' paid $2.25/lb. for 'em.

Da trick to da lobsters is punchin 'em with an ice pick to let da seasoning in.... otherwise dey taste like shit. I guess since dey come out dat deep water der shells are sealed up tighter than a crawfish to handle da pressure and no seasoning gets in.

2.25/lb... They're gonna be 11.00 each up here.

Maybe I'll catch my own CRAYFISH or is it CRAWDADS?

Uhhhhhh..... make dat $2.75/lb. for Saturday as per a phone conversation I just had.
