I love an open concept kitchen because I always feel I can trust what is going on just a little bit more.

The staff is attentive and friendly.  This is a slower Saturday as I visited in mid-June as people are heading out of town for after-school vacations and trips.   I visited with my friend David who I often brunch with on Saturday or Sunday because you need to have brunch on both Saturday and Sunday.

This is definitely one of my new favorites.

An unlikely brunch choice, I went with the fried chicken sandwich served with fresh-cut fries.  And of course the bottomless mimosa.  The sandwich has great reviews online and the internet can’t ever be wrong, right?  It comes with a spicy mayo which I think belongs on nearly every chicken sandwich.  David went with the Oak St. Breakfast, featuring cheesy eggs, pepper jelly, bacon, buttermilk biscuit, country gravy, and cheese grits.   I didn’t get to snap any pics of David’s food (because I was busy taking pictures of mine) but I can tell you that he specifically said that it was “really good” – and coming from him, when things are usually, “pretty good or ok” – that’s high praise.

And in case you were wondering, my chicken sandwich was delicious.  The chicken was perfectly breaded and crispy, on a nice soft bun with spicy mayo and lettuce.  Probably one of the top 5 for me.

They also have a Bloody Mary bar which was pretty awesome.  Tons of cool ingredients to choose from and mix up a delicious drink.

Lastly, the chef sent out a couple of plates of their beignets and they were outstanding!   A little different take on a traditional beignet these were deep-fried and filled with a sweet cream sauce which was light and delicious.  They are covered in cinnamon and sugar.   Perfection.

they were outstanding!

There’s a lot more to football than just the big game. It isn’t truly an American football game without some good ole tailgating.

Tailgate Feasts

Chef Scot Craig of Katies in Mid-city, New Orleans brings the feast this year as a celebrity guest chef for the Players Tailgate in Miami put on by the Bullseye Event Group, alongside some other powerhouse chefs like Guy Fieri! It only makes sense to bring down a chef from the Big Easy considering New Orleans has been voted the best overall fan gameday satisfaction for three years in a row!

Check Him Out!

Were proud to have an amazing chef and person such as Scot Craig represent the people and the food at such a massive event. If you want to try some of the amazing food that he’s cooking up, check out his three restaurants. He has Katies in Mid-city, Francesca by Katies in Lakeview, and Bienvenue on Hickory in Harahan.
