Louisiana Eats: Live Fire And Cool Bars – Louisiana Eats – It’s New Orleans

On this week s Louisiana Eats , we set out to discover hot spots both literally and figuratively in our backyard. We begin at P che Seafood Grill, where Chef Ryan Prewitt has been replicating live fire techniques he learned on a trip to Uruguay. Ryan explains how this new process has changed his entire perspective on cooking, and we get close to the flames as he shows us his kitchen s open hearth. If this is beyond your reach as a home cook, you ll want to stick around for Brian Landry s advice about cold smoking fish in your oven. Or if you d prefer to go out, Chris Jay gives us the scoop on Marilynn s Place, a popular casual dining restaurant in Shreveport, where you never know when a party will spontaneously break out. Then, Poppy joins the authors of the French Quarter Drinking Companion for a rain soaked tour of classy drinking establishments and debauched holes in the wall in the Vieux Carr . We re lighting the fire and cooling off, on this week s Louisiana Eats
