Puff pastry and I do not get along.

This.

I've seen him dozens of times.
Glen Danzig
Sam Hain
Misfits
Not going to list them all, but Les Claypool has a bunch of things going on.

Primus
Frog Brigade
Oysterhead
the Lennon thing, etc.
Primus always killed it, also King Crimson, but they're no longer touring.

Easter brunch

One of my favorites over the years was the late Palace Cafe Easter Jazz Brunch in NO. Crabmeat cheesecake and filet Oscar for the win.

Yes, crawfish boils.
They are open and would love your business because this is a traditionally slow weekend.

Musical contributions include the Dead Kennedys, collaborations with Ice-T, Lard (Jello meets Ministry), etc.

Also his admiral battle with PMRC and Tipper Gore back in the 80s.

Speedy recovery my friend.
Absolutely dead. It was before mainstream internet.

Haven't been there in years when I sat at the bar and listened to the foul mouthed Chef with his energy drink sitting right on the same cutting board where he was slicing raw fish.

re: What's the Best Value Fish Sauce?

If I'm making a kimchee, I'm going with the lower cost Squid. If I'm making some sort of salad where the fish sauce is star, I'm going with Red Boat, but Red Boat isn't cheap. Don't purchase at your grocery store ($$$) but find an Asian grocer instead.

Not a fan of Three Crabs.

I seen it at Whole Foods today.
I was so excited to hear this news that I stopped by today. Whole Foods DOES NOT carry hanger steaks. They did have beautiful looking skirt and flank, but those are not hangers. I asked the butcher if he's had them in recently and he said no. I then asked if they could order some and he said no.

What you saw yesterday was probably the flank or skirt.

Paying close attention. I can't find them anywhere in the city. Whole Foods used to carry them on a regular basis when they first opened, but haven't seen it in a long time.
