I love the design ... only in SoBe... Our FAVORITE Chef in New Orleans - John Besh of Restaurant August. If there was a vote he had the best entre' at BubbleQ. I polled others with AMEX at breakfast and they all agreed! Tyler and Savannah gave me his new cookbook MY NEW ORLEANS for Christmas. Really wonderful. John Besh - Po'Boy Sandwich. Every element of this dish tantelized your tastebuds. And I am NOT a Po'Boy fan. Me and my hubby! What a wonderful gift he gave me ... he has giggled at me all day. He thinks my level of excitement needs to be kicked up a notch. I am like jumping up and down over meeting chefs... ok.. that is cool!

John Greys Kitchen, John Grays Place, La Suegra, John Greys Downtown and The Den. John Grey from Cancun ... FABULOUS Duck with Sweet Potatoes. My new favorite Chef. I don't like sweet potoatoes ... but I ate these. Chef Todd English ... Check out the cool hairdo on my hubby! Doing it the SoBe way! less mafioso!
