REDFISH AND FINAL FOUR

For at least two of the four basketball collegiate teams and their fans, Saturday was the day when the journey must end  All things usually come to an end; but hopefully all four teams and their fans enjoyed the journey.  But before the Superdome and the Final Four; a sports celebrity and the food at the Redfish began our day. 

Mr. FOG accompanied Mario to an AT&T corporate brunch reception held at Redfish.  Mr. FOG had been to Redfish during his travels.  It is a well-known

Bourbon Street

restaurant known for its fresh fish and good food.  At&T had reserved the facility for it’s guests for a private party.  A highlight of the activity was a photo op with basketball legend Moses Malone, and NBA hall of famer.  Attached is a link to his bio.  Thank you AT&T for a classy well-organized function.

There were however other Redfish highlights.  In no particular order they were the Bloody Mary’s, fresh shucked oyster, shrimp, shrimp grits and chicken waffles.  Mr. FOG has always wanted to try chicken waffles but never had.  It was a nice treat and something for you to try at home or be on the look out for where you live.  Beware there are many recipe variations.  Mr. FOG liked Redfish’s version of boneless fried chicken pieces served over a Belgian waffle, although crisper thinner waffle work probably work better, topped off with a flour gravy.   It can be served at various times of the day and sure to be well-received since most like fried chicken and waffles. 

While his Lordship, the social butterfly/moth he can be, after a brief rest at the hotel, went to another reception   Mr. FOG needed a longer rest and took a nap and later joined the Laird at the Super Dome for the big games.

Kentucky, probably the favorite of most, prevailed over Louisville, and Ohio State which started out strong, was overcome by Kansas.  Cat and Bird will be matched up on Monday to see who is the best of the best.

We also had a star sighting at the Superdome and Mr. FOG has a picture to prove it.  For those that like the Hangover movies, you will surely recognize Ken Jeong who played Mr. Chow in both Hangovers, but was truly memorable in Hangover II.  Mr. Fog also liked the monkey, who gave up his/her biker outfit for a pretty in pink outfit.
