We had another excellent dinner at Drew’s. Besides the usual
NOLA style broiled oysters and Nashville hot chicken, I had a fork tender apple cider braised Duroc pork osso bucco, maple chipotle smashed sweet potatoes and apple pork jus. Drew also generously made us a spicy shrimp and grits in the style of the now closed Tillie’s. Drew also made us pork ribs with an Autumn spice dry rub, with Autumn squash risotto, and spicy cranberry sauce. We also had escargot Bordelaise with Benton’s country ham, sherry demi glace, garlic butter, and grilled bread. There were plenty of leftovers. It all went great with a 2017 Block 665 cabernet.

Ate at Drew’s last week. Not much to add to @paryzer’s monthly reports, other than to confirm that Drew is very much on the top of his game. Had been a while since my last visit, but didn’t seem that my business was missed. The room was packed the entire time and quite lively … an overall very fun atmosphere. Oh, and if you order a salad to share, Drew generously provides each diner with what must be close to a full-size salad. And the sweet potato gelato sundae was imaginative and delicious. Well done!!

We had another excellent dinner at Drew’s. Besides the usually awesome NOLA broiled oysters, and Nashville hot chicken, Drew generously made us a spot on version of Tillie’s spicy shrimp and grits, and we had a spicy 2 potato gumbo with sweet and red potatoes, along with andouille sausage, tasso ham, and rice. I had an excellent fresh mushroom cavatelli with truffle cream, black pepper and parmesan. It all went great with an excellent Shaw and Smith Shiraz. We took home the originally delicious SCCPT for dessert. The pictures aren’t that great because with daylight savings time there is no more sunlight by the window, and the lighting was dark and shadowy (which is fine for eating but not for taking pictures)

Did Drew make Tillie’s shrimp and grits, or did Tillie’s make Drew’s shrimp and grits? Sort of a chicken or egg conundrum…

I think Drew’s made Tillie’s spicy shrimp and grits for me after I said how much I would miss Tillie’s shrimp and grits, now that they are closed. These were spot on. Drew’s regular shrimp and grits that are currently on the menu are more on the creamy buttery side. They are also excellent, but just a different preparation. Although I have heard that Drew used to make a spicy version many years ago.

We had another awesome dinner at Drew’s. Drew was nice enough to make us spicy Cajun crawfish with the same spicy sauce that he used for the shrimp and grits last month. Drew also had a refreshing special of tuna ceviche tostada with jalapeño, onion, tomato, cilantro and lime. The last appetizer we had was PEI mussels puttanesca with spicy olives, capers, and tomato sauce. For an entree I had an excellent special of voodoo surf and turf with Drew’s voodoo shrimp and blackened NY strip steak with that voodoo shrimp sauce. It all went great with Mollydooker The Boxer shiraz.

We had another outstanding dinner at Drew’s. He had some excellent specials including a huge Cajun empanada; tender octopus with a nice char; burrata, muffuletta, and spicy nduja. Drew also generously made us some spicy Cajun shrimp and grits. Drew ran out of the magret duck breast but substituted excellent crispy duck leg confit. It all went great with a 2011 Charbonniere Chateaunef Du Pape.

We had another outstanding dinner at Drew’s. He had a lot of excellent Mardi Gras specials. It was hard to decide what to get. We shared several appetizers including bison tartar, some awesome spicy garlic crawfish that Drew was kind enough to make for us, muffuletta salad, and Bibb salad. I had the fork tender melt in your mouth Creole short ribs, while Mrs. P had her usual Nashville hot chicken. It all went great with a 2012 Red Zinfandel. We took home some SCCPT for dessert.

Thanks for posting this, Jeff. I’m not on FB (never have been) and no virus is going to force me to get on there! 
So now I’m reading the menu and drooling…

I’m from the Boston board, but I had to comment…sounds like Drew’s is still going on all cylinders (I know it only from @paryzer’s wonderful reports). Hopefully, they are keeping their kitchen staff employed and busy. And what a bargain, $30 for 3 courses!

We got the takeout. Ordered 3 x 3course meals and it was enough for 5 plus some left over. Everything was excellent. Tremendous value. Remember to tip your food server; they are out of a job right now.

We had some outstanding takeout from Drew’s that was well worth the 1 1/2 hour round trip, especially for 3 courses for $33. The only problem was that it took 2 1/2 hours to get through. It was non stop busy signals, and when we finally got through they were out of 2 of our 3 choices. However, the consolation prizes were very good. We enjoyed the Southwestern caesar salad, the awesome French quarter pork chop cordon bleu with a panko breaded center cut pork chop, andouille sausage, melted Swiss and mozzarella, smashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and a whole grain mustard sauce. Mrs. P had her usual Nashville hot chicken, and we had double chocolate brownie for dessert. We enjoyed it al fresco on the deck. They were out of the shrimp bisque and peanut butter blondie by the time we got through.
