Cane & Table

Sunday evening was spent having "family dinner" with Evan, Andrew and Brie at Cane & Table in the French Quarter. Billy was on the clock but was able to come by and socialize with us throughout our dining experience. We tried so many excellent dishes!

Appetizers
Fresh Puffed Pork Skins with Curried Jerk Seasoning 
*holy cow those could be habit forming!*
Three Pea Hummus with Yucca Chips
*possibly the best hummus I have ever eaten*
Crispy Rum Ribs with Papaya Chutney
*fried ribs! the meat was falling off the bone--they were a little spicy for my mild-preferring tongue!*

Dinner
Ropa Vieja (Braised Skirt Steak)
*mine with skillet greens and Yukon Gold potato puree*
Grilled Yardbird
*Andrew's...looked good, but I did not try it*
Peas 'n' Rice (Red Beans & Rice)
*Evan's...rather tasty andouille sausage*
Vegetable Plate
*Brie's...she raved about everything, so it must have been good!*

Drinks
Apple Oil 
Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Laird's Bonded Applejack, House Falernum Demerara, Angostura Bitters, Regan's Orange Bitters
*delicious! we all tried one of these delights!*
Some Big Blue Drink
I have no idea what was in it but Billy brought out this big ol' bowl full of blue alcohol with four straws poking out the top! See photos below.

The men folk, arms over their heads, after a satisfying and delicious meal!
