Findlay Market Focus- An Interview with David Le of Pho Lang Thang

Jun 9, 2011 by

If you find yourself in Findlay Market do your taste buds a favor and pay these guys a visit. Just go look at the pictures on their Facebook page, your mouth will be watering in no time.

Hot Tip: If you want a real treat they’ll be at The Famous Neon’s Unplugged Sunday around 5 pm serving Bahn Mi (badass Vietnamese sandwiches), while Cue Cao from Kajun Crawfish serves up one of the only authentic New Orleans style crawfish boils I’ve seen outside of Louisiana. It will be fine evening of food at one of my favorite bars in the Queen City. Evil Uncle Loki rates this one five stars!

Must Do Sunday: Crawfish Boil at Neons

May 10, 2011 by

crawfish boil

Okay, two of my favorite local things are coming with the thing I miss most about New Orleans!

From here in the Queen City the two elements in question are:

  • Pho Lang Thang – finally we’ve got some classic down home Vietnamese cooking in this town! I moved here from a city with a large Vietnamese population and I had missed that more than almost anything. Number one stop on every trip to Findlay Market!
  • The Famous Neons Unplugged – The living room of the OTR! Chilled out and fun with a brilliant courtyard and a solid bar. Little known to some a certain segment of the populace meet there to watch Dr Who…

From back  home in NOLA? Crawfish! (As if you couldn’t tell that from the title.)

This trifecta is, as they say, full of WIN! You can be guaranteed that I’ll be there early, and if you can get me to stop eating long enough I might even teach you the proper way to peel a crawfish…

Trust me on this one. And no, I’m not getting paid or anything like that. I genuinely love both the places involved and if anyone in town can pull off this Gulf Coast tradition it would have to be the guys from Pho Lang Thang. As to hosting, only Neons and Mayday have the right vibe.

The details are here and the boil runs from 5to 8 pm.

I’ll see you there, just don’t get between me and the crawfish!
