For over a week now I have been battling an on-again-off-again sore throat, mild congestion, and a cough—especially at night when I am trying to sleep. I have a scratchy throat and I am hoarse. I sound somewhat frog-like. My doctor agrees this unwelcome malady is related to allergies that devolved into an upper respiratory infection that will probably play itself out soon.
Meanwhile, with the weather cooling again—hopefully to stay this time—I could really go for a Spiced Tea Hot Toddy at The Elysian Bar in Hotel Peter & Paul.
Curling up near one of the bar’s fireplaces at the with a warm, soothing beverage just sounds so restorative right about now. In addition to the new Spiced Tea Hot Toddy there is also a warm, cozy, new Amaro Caldo for those of us in need of some soothing warmth. Chef Kyle Focken has also rolled out some new fall-forward menu items: Grilled Octopus with pumpkin and coconut broth, and fried sage; Stuffed Quail with Madeira, Swiss chard, and truffle; and Wild Boar Tortellini with mushrooms and rosemary.
On Sunday from noon-4 p.m. Hotel St. Vincent and Ford’s Gin will present a Gumbo Cookoff in the parking lot at 1507 Magazine St. with local restaurant teams (Turkey and The Wolf, Lengua Madre, Saffron, and more) competing for the top title of Gumbo Great of New Orleans and a chance to win money for the local charity of their choice. The contest is Peoples’ Choice so who stands and who falls is all up to you. A “Carnival-like” vibe is promised with music by The 8 Brass Band, the Saints game on the big screen, copious libations, and giveaways. Admission is $30.
Thanksgiving is just two weeks away and the team at Arnaud’s reached out to offer a light, easy, colorful take on the humble mirliton as a holiday dish.
This one is made with simple ingredients and comes together quickly.
