Papa Roux - City Market

Von -

Continuing in my quest to try new things at the City Market, on this particular day we got a catfish po boy from Papa Roux.  I have reviewed them before at their main location, and hubby and I had both quite enjoyed it.  The menu at the City Market is more limited (no shrimp po boy, boo!), but ultimately that was good because it forced me to try something new this time.

We got the catfish po boy with a side of the mushroom étouffée ($10.50).  I like the way you get a side included with every sandwich (not that you will be needed more food, but nice to get to try something else).  The thing I really like about Papa Roux sandwiches is the combination of flavors you get from your filling, the “vouxdoux” mayo and the cole slaw.  Especially the mayo.  It has a nice tangy flavor to it with just a little bit of heat and some nice spiciness (think like Old Bay seasoning).  Although the dressing of the cole slaw is probably part of the tanginess—there’s some vinegar to it.  The catfish itself is pan fried and was pretty juicy.  Although, just one filet seemed a little small for the huge bun.  I mean, it reached end to end, but the ratio of meat to bread was a little off.

Which brings me to the part of the sandwich I didn’t particularly like—the bread.  Not that it tasted bad, but the bun was so thick, I felt like if you ate it together, you could barely taste anything but the bread.  We figured out a solution and just took the top bun off and folded the bottom one around the fish.  This was a much better ratio although made us miss out on a lot of the dressing and slaw (we scraped it off the top bun and added it to the part we ate as much as possible).

The mushroom étouffée was a little too bland for us—honestly, I think there were one or two mushrooms in there and a sort of cheesy sauce and rice.  But what was missing was flavor.  If I had some hot sauce (we were already upstairs at this point) I would have doctored it up…but I wouldn’t get this particular side again. Hubby really wished we had stuck with beans and rice.

I do like the flavor combinations on the po boys at papa roux—I have yet to try one of the more Hoosier-style ones (pork tenderloin etc) but I would be interested to hear what you guys like.  And it won’t be long until I have eaten everywhere at the City Market (a girl’s gotta have goals).

Road Trip- Orchids at Palm Court - Cincinnati

Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary recently with a trip to Cincinnati—well, we were celebrating our anniversary and visiting with some friends.  The first night (on our own) we went to Orchids at Palm Court (this was the big anniversary dinner).  First of all, wow, what a cool space—hubby and I have a soft spot for deco things-- décor, buildings, whatever-- and this place is deco to the extreme and just overall impressive.  The restaurant and bar is set in a huge two story room that just transports you.  The whole hotel is like that actually.  You can really feel what it must have felt like to stay in a place like this back in the day. And it makes you grateful for keeping historic buildings and rooms true to their original character. They first brought us out bread service with butter and olive oil with big chunks of soft, rich roasted garlic and an amuse bouche . All were outstanding. As soon as I saw the little egg shell the amuse was served in, I was already pretty sure I was g

Dig In 2011

This past Sunday hubby and I attended the 2 nd annual Dig In at White River State Park.   I’m excited that we have gotten to go to Dig In since its inception last year ( here’s my post from last year).   I now have a goal of collecting a nice set of Dig In glasses from each year. I was very impressed to see that the organizers certainly paid attention to how things went last year and made some great improvements.   First of all, last year the food booths were all lined up next to each other and as people walked in, they just started going to the booths in order causing a giant line going out the front entrance.   This year they set up separate little groupings of tents that had 6-9 providers (food and beer/wine samples).   Then if you wanted to purchase a glass or bottle of anything to drink, you went to a central tent to do that.   Last year the beer and wine were sort of crammed into one tent, making it hard to get to some of them.   I was amazed how much better the access to every
