We went to UnCommon on derby day after the main race for some proper mint juleps. It didn't disappoint. Although initially there was no room at the bar when we ordered our drinks, some space did free up eventually and some other people ordered so we caught the perfomance. Another great trip to New Orleans is in the books now and unfortunatley I wasn't able to bootleg any sausages home. I guess there is always next time.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761712892009129212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-44974624273801112092010-04-13T17:13:46.748-07:002010-04-13T17:13:46.748-07:00thanks for the tip.

Several ...Ah, no doubt you'll have fun in NOLA. Several bartenders make respectable juleps, but they're rarely an item I order out. I haven't had one from Chris Hannah (Arnaud's French 75) or Danny Valdez (Cure), though I'd trust either to make a passable mint julep. <br /><br />But do, without fail, track down Chris McMillian. Call ahead to see if he's working at Bar UnCommon the night you intend to you ~ or be prepared to change your schedule to be there when he is. <br /><br />Pableaux Johnson did a nice piece on his performance piece of a julep here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/02/dining/02jule.html<br /><br />I've seen him do this 5 or 6 times over the years and it's a treat.Matthew Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613982533349459637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-41887647174073915672010-04-12T18:27:17.880-07:002010-04-12T18:27:17.880-07:00Well, if you happen to find yourself out Boston wa...Well, if you happen to find yourself out Boston way some weekend, for the next 6 months or so anyway, drop a line. Not really to dialed in on the cocktail scene up here, but don't mind hitting the town looking for it either. <br />On another note, I'm going to be in NOLA for derby day with my sweetie and she's set on mint juleps. Are any of the places in your 9/3/9 post good for them.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761712892009129212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-78080500517551464742010-04-03T12:38:46.154-07:002010-04-03T12:38:46.154-07:00Michael ~ Thanks.

Burroughs I posted this week). Don't be too hasty with offers of drinks: I've been known to travel to other cities just for good drinks and good company. <br /><br />Trid ~ Come on now. It's a beautiful day outside and now you're tempting me to stay in, geek out, and fplain how those aren't really F's?Matthew Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613982533349459637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-89278309949483439992010-03-31T17:37:03.595-07:002010-03-31T17:37:03.595-07:00Just wanted to say that I dig the blog.

I wish I was still living in San Diego 'cause I'd buy you a drink or two.<br /><br />Also, just read your book Moonshine, couldn't put it down.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761712892009129212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-55976110438566322412010-03-27T20:25:22.334-07:002010-03-27T20:25:22.334-07:00All that fcraping and flicing fcares me :)All that fcraping and flicing fcares me :)Tridnoreply@blogger.com
