Bánh Xèo – Savory Vietnamese Crêpes

Mon Feb 23 10:12:09 PST 2015

Bánh xèo seems to be designed to be eaten as a family. The batter, filling ingredients, and veggies aren’t complicated to prepare, but they don’t make sense to be bought or made to be eaten by yourself. You don’t just buy 1/4 pound of pork, 8 shrimps, or buy 1/4 head of lettuce. You kind […]

The Vietnamese were exposed to new, local foods resulting in some current mainstays of Vietnamese cuisine, such as Cajun crawfish boil, chicory in Vietnamese coffee and of course, boiled peanuts. These are popularly boiled with just salt, or with Cajun spices, but in this recipe we’re […]

Sat Jan 06 12:01:56 PST 2018

I love this spot. It barely has electric, as it is one of the oldest structures in the country, built in the 1700’s and used as a blacksmith shop before it became a piano bar. I love old shit, especially old timey bars and restaurants. Hence Tux-Con. Drop into this place for a drink, or … Continue reading Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar →
