The best touffe in town
My visit to Parish made me crave touffe, so I ended up visiting Redfish (687 Memorial Dr., 404-475-1200) a few days later. Owner/Chef Gregg Herndon's version is the best in town. It's wonderfully fragrant, spicier than most versions and filling, thanks to a large quantity of crawfish.
We also ordered an appetizer special [...]

A visit to Parish
I've visited few restaurants as ambitious from Day One as Parish (240 N. Highland Ave., 404-681-4434). It's a huge space whose design succeeds in evoking the ambiance of New Orleans' French Quarter without resorting to the usual Mardi Gras cliches and cajun stereotyping. You won't find the words "I garontee it!" on the [...]

Checking out the Korean cue
As I reported earlier this week, The Standard on Memorial Drive is now offering Korean barbecue on Wednesday nights. We gave it a try last night.
Honestly, I can't say it's as impressive as the Indian specials on Monday nights, but we enjoyed ourselves. About $10 buys two thick slices of tastily sauced pork placed on [...]

John Prine: The voice, and words, of an angel
One of the many charms of singer/songwriter John Prine is the stark contrast of under-stated delivery of such evocative lyrics. Its as if Prine is almost embarrassed by the power of his poetry, like hes let a secret out of a bag hed promised to secure, but understands the secrets out and should then be [...]

Hey Ya! Supersuck on this!
Unfortunately, I will have bolted town for a much-needed vacation and will miss Saturday's SoCo Music Experience at Olympic Centennial Olympic Park. I'm not overly wowed by the lineup or anything, but I need to kill my unforgivable dry spell of never having seen the Supersuckers. They've rocked hard the [...]

See & Do: Music: John Prine
JOHN PRINE followed his 2005 Grammy-winning comeback album, Fair Square, with last year's Standard Songs for Average People, a typically off-kilter affair in which he paired with bluegrass legend Mac Wiseman. Prine's always been one to take his music and lyrics as they come, and his return from a bout with throat cancer affirmed [...]
