The Great Outdoors
Kelsey's (see Restaurant Review) patio deck is now open for the short outdoor
dining season, in time for The Dining at Dusk promotion: three-course dinners
for $19.95, available Tuesday through Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.
Mo Pho
The
owners of the local Vietnamese restaurant chain Pho Tau Bay (113 Westbank Expwy.,
Gretna, 368-9846; 1565 Tulane Ave., 524-4669; 3116 Arnoult Road, Metairie, 780-1063)
won't stop until the entire metro area appreciates a good pho (beef noodle soup)
and knows how to dress a bahn mi (Vietnamese sandwich). The fourth Pho Tau Bay
is slated to open in August in the former location of the French-Asian restaurant
Cafe Indo (260 N. Carrollton Ave.).
Pet Project
A
woman walking into Bobo's (4411 Magazine St., 269-3237) last month announced,
"I tried the pizza last night, and it tasted just like pizza." Fair enough,
except that Bobo's is a pet bakery, and the woman had tasted a pizza-flavored
dog biscuit. Bobo's owner, Cindy Hardegree, wasn't as shocked by this pet owner's
admission. She and her husband ran a similar store in east Texas for years,
where they met pet owners of all sanity levels and developed many recipes --
from Sherlock's Bacon & Scrambled Egg biscuits to Snickerpoodles. Hardegree
makes the treats with all-natural ingredients (you may enter to the smell of
chicken boiling) and flax seed, which Hardegree says successfully fights pet
allergies. In addition, she crafts designer pet jewelry, food and water bowls,
carrying pouches, pet TV dinners, biscuit mixes and birthday cakes.
Market Watch
In
conjunction with this Thursday's Crescent City Farmers Market, Jon Smith of
Cork & Bottle (3700 Orleans Ave., 934-1386) will play host to New Orleans Rum's
master distiller from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Stop by the shop to sample summertime
rum drinks, as well as the entire New Orleans Rum line and food from Partysist
caterers. Meanwhile, vendor Susie Banck of Windfield Farm Bakery will prepare
the Green Plate Special for Tuesday's farmers' market, and Chef John Calon of
Cafe Atchafalaya will conduct Saturday's 10 a.m. cooking demonstration. The
Tuesday market is at 200 Broadway St. and runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Thursday
market is at 3700 Orleans Ave. and runs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Saturday market
is at 700 Magazine St. and runs from 8 a.m. to noon. Call 861-5898 or visit
