One of our favorite dinners was Ralph Brennan's -
DS started with the Gumbo Ya-Ya (Chicken, andouille sausage, dark roux, Creole seasoning, rice)
I had the Creole Onion Soup (Caramelized sweet onions, savory broth, croutons, Parmesan cheese)
Oh my gosh, this may be my favorite soup that I have ever eaten. Truly loved every drop of this soup.
For entrees, I had an appetizer - the Filet Mignon Muffuletta (Thin filet mignon, rosemary ciabatta bread, hothouse tomatoes, olive salad, provolone cheese)
with a side order of the fried green tomatoes -
The muffuletta was not at all what I expected but it was truly delicious as were the tomatos. I was very happy with my dinner choice.
DS had Grilled Chicken & Penne (Pancetta, caramelized onions, basil, Asiago cheese, pink vodka sauce)
DH had the Amazing Cajun Meatloaf with Southern grits, barbeque baked red beans
I didn't sample DS's pasta but DH's meatloaf was very, very good. We all really enjoyed our meals here.
On to dessert ... and oh my gosh, what a dessert! DS and I shared the Double Chocolate Bread Pudding (A rich, dark, semi sweet chocolate bread pudding served with white and dark chocolate gananche)
This was just amazing! We loved it so much we went back another night just for the soups and this dessert.
DH had the New Orleans Bread Pudding (The queen of Crescent City desserts. Rich in cream, eggs, sugar and raisins. Served warm with our housemade crème anglaise)
This was good but just didn't compare to the wondefulness of the chocolate one.
