Latah Lounge

Fresh Halibut is back!

Thank you to everyone who voted for Heather. She rocked the show on Sunday night but we will have to wait until next Sunday to find out if she won. This Wednesday, live at the Bistro will be the duo of Dave & Bob.

Next Sunday, the 25th, Heather will be singing in the Semi-Finals for Gimme the Mike on Q-6 TV. This year the contest is decided by the voting public and the prize is a a Toyota Camry so please tune in and vote for Heather. The voting takes place for 24 hours after next Sunday’s show.

In honor of the the Patron Saint of Ireland we will be serving what has to be one of the most comforting combinations of foods ever created, Irish stew, soda bread and Guinness beer. No wonder leprechauns are smiley.

I’m loving some of the friends we have attracted on our My Space account. In particular, Burt Reynold’s mustache, McDonald’s Hash Brown and John Lennon are all now our friends. Go figure.

Do you love wine? Do you like Mondays? Put the two together and it equals 1/2 off - Every bottle in the house. Enjoy.

We are back from the pits of inconsistency. Whew! Keeping espresso quality consistent cup after cup is tougher than we imagined. Machinery, staff, roast, grind, beans, water pressure, timing, water filtration, humidity and tamp pressure all effect the outcome of the flavor of a shot of espresso. Only true Baristas know all this. For 2 months our culprit was a sneaky little pump in our espresso machine that was not supplying enough water pressure to the coffee. Now that we have replaced this part ($700), we are back in biz pulling creamy shots. No wonder Starbucks went fully automated. Don’t worry, we won’t lose the “romance or theatre” of the human element at Latah Latte.

Down South this French style dish is a staple. Boudin (boo-dahn) is a unique, light colored pork sausage made with rice. Chef Justin stuffed a few feet yesterday and it will be incorporated in some upcoming recipes soon.

Cracklins are a Southern convenience store delicacy. We usually make them from duck skin and use as a garnish. Apparently boudin, cracklins and full-bodied cabernet make a good combination.
