Roux

Last week we couldn't get in the le pigeon, so we went to Roux. Creole gooodness.

French 75: really i'm just trying to see if anybody can make this drink as well as PandaBear's, but this one i remembered was not nearly as good. too much lemon. chino still reigns

Some Syrah from Walla walla: its wine, it was good shit. i can't remember much because we got blasted afterwards, but that i liked it

Fried green tomatoes: deep fried = gooood, herbed aioli = fancy mayo

croque monsieur salad: spinach with ham and gruyere. good, big and hearty. i probably did not need the meat because i had...

baby back ribs: nice saucy, spicy, tender. I jumped head first into my anxiety of putting messy things on my face (say it. i dare you). I seriously have a problem with eating things that will end up smeared on my face. this includes ice cream cones, fried chicken, ribs, corn. i have a hard time eating apples whole. i like forks and knives and small bits that fit perfectly inside my small mouth. i prefer fun size candy, sushi and dim sum. So i really had to be in some mood for some ribs and it was worth it. served with awesome mashed potatoes that had a hit of horseradish, and a jalepeno cornbread muffin. with the saucy sweetness the ribs offered, this was good dinner

uh, writing this just made me full.
