Menu For Sunday Dinner, May 20th

It’s always an enchanted evening when Chef James treats us to his Southern cooking, and he’s gone back to his roots again for this Sunday’s $20 menu. We’ll kick things off with Crab and Andouille stuffed Mirliton with Tabasco Butter. Mirliton is the vegetable we Californians call “chayote,” in case you were wondering, and if anyone else is stuffing it with Crab and Andouille this Sunday, we'd like to meet them! Our main course is an outrageous Tasso Stew with Grilled Squid, which warms and fascinates with its complex flavors. And after that, who doesn’t love to cool off with Strawberry Shortcake? You’ll need something to drink with this extraordinary meal, so once again we’ll be offering $10 bottles of wine, $3 Abita Ambers and $2 Abita Root Beers. Don’t miss out on this stuff, there’s just nothing like it!

Admit It, You Used To Like Merlot.

Be honest with yourself: you loved Merlot before “Sideways” shamed you into a dark corner behind some imposing bottles of Pinot Noir. But there’s fine Merlot to be had, and this varietal at its best can whisk you back to the carefree romantic days of the 90’s, when Bill Clinton was President, and Hootie and The Blowfish were on the radio. We’ve got a stupendous local example of this forgotten wine on hand, available by the bottle only. Come try out Happy Canyon Vineyards Merlot. Enjoy it’s dark berry nose and savor its sultry velvety mouthfeel and you’ll remember why it used to be your “go to” long before you ever heard of Enron.

May The 4th (and 5th) Be With You!

Greetings Nookionados (Aficionados of Nook). We still have lots of resos for tonight and tomorrow. We'll be featuring the new and lovely Merluza (that's a fish, also known as Hake) with Braised Olives, Onions and Tomatoes, and Cherry Clafouti for dessert. Book a res through our website and type "May the 4th be with you" in the additional notes field and I'll buy a dessert for your table! As Darth Vader might say, "all too easy." And don't forget, we're open Sundays!
