Butchers or Bakers in NOLA?

Thatgrimguy

I’ve been planning some new experiments since I got my Alto Shaam food warmer and was planning on coming over to shop at Restaurant Depot. But I’m sure I can find at least a few choice cuts at a smaller better butcher.

I also want to get back to baking and need a new starter culture so if someone knows a good artisan bakery that may sell me a loaf of sourdough and a cup of starter that would be great too.


any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I added my last brisket because you are all picture nuts.

And if any of you guys would spare some starter, I’d be willing to come over in the RV and cook a brisket or something for trade/ fun.

I killed my last few starters, but I’ll ask a couple friends who are master chefs and let you know.  When are you coming down?

That's an all-star list right there.  Haven't seen then in a while.

@Thatgrimguy I double dare you to go over to NOLA, and leave without what you seek/need.

All kinds of folks on the interwebz are ready to send you SD starter. Da Googlz.

Lastly, not artisanal, but I'd be happy to send you some dehydrated SD starter.

Hey Scott, if you need a place to park the RV you can park it at my shop.  I have hookups too.  Have a vehicle if you need.

Sounds like you’re pulling out all the stops here just for another opportunity to put Scott’s meat in your mouth…

Not sure where you’ll hit a bakery willing to sell sourdough starter. No one west of NOLA for sure. Not many sourdough sources in Louisiana

On my way now! Only going to make it for a day trip though cause the rv is getting some love at the shop.

You the man! When I get the RV out of the shop I’ll take you up on that!

Piece of meat is great, although expensive.  Get the prime pork chops from Langenstein's (ask them if they have a whole roast).

My starter is alive, but in kind of bad shape right now.

Piece of meat is remodeling. Restaurant Depot was closed due to power issues that started right before we rolled up. Cochon was slammed... Ended up at Whole Foods. I wanted to go to Langenstein's but my wife was done driving around at that point.

But I did get a solid loaf of Sourdough and found a really nice looking bottom round which will work for the pit beef I want to make. I was looking for a Prime sirloin roast but this well marbled pasture raised bottom round should work just as well!

Buckle down, we're about to get slammed with a storm.

Non event in Lafayette. Missed us.

@Thatgrimguy hope the storms missed you.  Looked like a bad time to be in NO.

I'm good. Made it out of town in time and the storms were all west and north of us. Just some rain.

Glad to hear you cleared just in time.
