    Serious question, do you have something big enough to cook a 25 pound cow head? 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    And anyone in the NOLA area, let's go.

    If you are looking for storebought, get on I-10 W for a couple of hours, and we can give you the tour (Yes, I will stack H-Town grub up againt NOLA, particularly when it comes to Vietnamese (though, to be fair, I have never TRIED Vietnamese in NOLA)

    If you are going for home grown, get your baguette game down first, and you will be on your way.

    Houston has more Vietnamese than NOLA, but NOLA has a higher Vietnamese population by percentage and French cooking is one thing Vietnamese and New Orleans Cajun/Creole have in common.  Perfect storm, so to speak.

    Pho Tau Bay

    There are many authentic Vietnamese restaurants throughout the city. Over the years, Emeril has been a regular at the family-run Pho Tau Bay’s Westbank outpost, and he still frequents its newer Central Business District location. “I can’t go to New Orleans for a day or two without eating at Pho Tau Bay,” Emeril says. It’s always a treat to get to see Mama, Karl Jr. and Karl Sr. Their chargrilled pork spring rolls can’t be beat – be sure to ask for peanut sauce on the side. Their pork vermicelli salad with an egg roll and the chicken pho are always my go-to dishes. Try any of their banh mi, which is the Vietnamese equivalent to a po-boy, because they are so flavorful and fresh. It’s a different palette experience than your typical fried seafood and roast beef po-boy.”

    Karl Jr is a friend and lives right next to Warren's corner in an old hardware store.  Friend of mine.  His family owns/runs Pho Tau Bay.  He still won't give me his Pho broth recipe tho.
