Domenica

I finished up a shoot at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans and needed something for dinner.  I took a trip down the beautiful lobby to Chef John Besh's Domenica restaurant.  I had eaten there before and knew it would be good.  Eating by myself I wanted to try some menu items that some dinner companions may not order.  I'm glad I went the adventurous route.  It turned out to be delicious.  Photos follow.

Top Secret Pizza Photos

Chef Adolfo Garcia just opened not one, but two new restaurants.  I was invited to sample the first pizzas out of the oven that was shipped direct from Naples, Italy!  I can say that the true neapolitan pizza is amazing.  From the dough to authentic topping, chef will be treating his guests with waves of flavor that could previously only be found in Italy.  I can't wait for my second visit.  Ancora is the new pizzeria /salumeria and High Hat Cafe serves food from the Mississippi Delta region.  Below are some photos of Adolfo's restaurant family at the inaugeral lighting of the pizza oven.

Chicken Feet

I didn't plan on eating chicken feet when I showed up at Cochon in New Orleans the other day.  Chef Stephen Stryjewski sent out this plate of fried chicken feet.  They were fried then tossed with butter, herbs, and garlic.  The small nibbles were succulent and full of flavor.  This is my new favorite appetizer.
