No the Speakeatery my post you responded to

Sorry Jake they also serve dinner

I will also recommend the Speakeatery in AP on Cookman by Main. Great little lunch spot with nice daily specials, limited seating at three small counter areas

Ocean Grove is a dry town. Next door is Asbury Park and I would highly recommend Porta to eat, but get there early for dinner as it turns into a night club Thursday Friday and Saturday after 8 or so. They also have a good brunch on Sunday.
Stella Marina on the Asbury boardwalk is good as well. Mogo Korean tacos on the boardwalk is good but it is a stand so there is no seating

Any particular part of Jersey? We had our reception at the Liberty House, you can't beat the views

I've heard good things about St Lawrence, but I have not personally been

Please god no more Willie Maes exposure. By far the most overrated fried chicken on the planet IMO

I actually had so e this weekend in New Orleans. It is only sold in about 7 states at the moment. I went to eat at Martinique Bistro and saw they had a bottle and they offered me a taste. It was very buttery and smooth. He then added a bit of orange peel which made it even nicer. They did have a drink made with it on the brunch menu but I saw it too late and had already had some bourbon and wine.
The bartender was telling me that Cathead will soon be selling a chickory liqeur and they will also start producing gin.

The irony in that after seeing Anthony Bourdains show last night focusing on Koreatown in LA

That goes without saying but we weren't discussing red beans. Lol

What do you mean by fresh? They aren't made fresh, they are frozen and they are made from onion powder and diced onion put in molds then breaded. Popeyes has the best fast food onion rings

Nope, the owners of the building are looking for a new tenant. Apparently the place was filthy.

They def flooded during Sandy. The back dining room did not but the front areas did including the kitchen. They were operating shortly after power was restored. We went there a few times before the storm but have not returned as I don't feel they could have opened that quickly and cleaned the place as it was needed as they had two feet of river and sewer water in there

Exactly, some people could care less about the people who were in line before them and will have no problem saying they were there. I like the computer system that some places have now, you type in want you want, go about your shopping and swing back by to pick it up.

Not always in some places I get asked in some not. I don't want salt on my glass. I did see bacon salt the other day, that I may want

There was also a recipe on here for the olive salad which I have used in the past. I made individual muffs a few years ago for one of the Saints playoffs games on their SB run, don't remember what type of bread I used but no one complained

That's about the only place I could think of as well, but the area sort of sucks. Ideally something on the river for a nice view of the city but nothing has outdoor space big enough to accommodate a group comfortably. The Haus may be able to do some pulled pork etc as the cook whole pigs on Fridays during certain times a year

I thought the margarita I had at Tortilla Flats was horrible

Big construction going on right across the street from Porta to the left as you are facing the door. Condo development with more on the way. We live at the corner behind Porta and plan on hitting it up for brunch tomorrow.

The same can be said for any city or state, but if you are from there and grew up on certain things they hold a special place, some people not from there may not get the love for that particular food. Case in point the poboy, most people from New Jersey that I know that have visited NOLA do not like the poboys because of the bread, not dense enough for them but I love that bread.

I wasn't expecting what I grew up on or what I can do on my own. For me the fun of boiling crawfish is the whole production, picking up the live crawfish, getting everything set up, people coming over and drinking the while time whe I boil the crawfish. Everyone does it there own way, even back home.

I may venture over and give this place a try as I am curious about how they are prepared, but no matter how they do it, putting seasoning on after the fact is a crime in my book. The crawfish should soak up the seasoning, it should not be all over my fingers so that my fingers are what is spicy.

Well hopefully they don't put spices on the outside after the boil, if that's the case I would walk out. Lol

Oh HH, forgive the Yankees. I may have to give this place a try for a crawfish fix just to tide me over before I have a few sacks shipped up to boil.

How is a chain a local business?

I handled an insurance claim after Irene at the strip club that serves as the Bada Bing in the series

Maritime Parc

I love the outdoor patio at Cafe Matisse.

Hoboken restaurants on the river have great views assuming you have a front window seat, Trinity being one of them and the outside seating when the weather is nice.

The Liberty House in Jersey City as well as Maritime Parc

You don't think Johnny's would be open on Super Bowl Sunday? seems they could make a killing

I can recommend Court Street and Maritime Parc, I like Hamilton Inn as well

Just saw Fig Tree was on there as well, I like that place

The guy that owns Buttermilk starred in Beasts of the Southern Wild, he will be opening a place in NYC in the spring, can't wait to try his king cake next year
