Lunch... Jeetyet?

[flannj]

I did.

Saucy Porka

For the Loop working stiffs, 400 S. Financial (2 doors south of SkrineChops).
They describe themselves as Asian Latin Fusion.
I had the Pork Carnitas Bao Tacos.

Breakfast and Lunch menus all of which looks outstanding.

I will be going back.

Validated.  Today had the short rib bao taco (excellent, if a little fatty) and the chroizo egg rolls (really suprisingly good).

Seconded on both the short rib baco and chorizo egg rolls.

Plus, Flannj was nice enough to stop by and say hello while I was waiting for my lunch to be ready.

One quick note: The list of menu item names that would be better than Ho Chi Minh would not be a short one. At least they're not a schnitzel place.

EDIT: Went back, had the vegetable egg roll and ginger-soy tofu baco. Pretty damn tasty, even without meat.

Next time try the Asian Style Paella.
Best thing I've had there so far.

Haute Sausage just opened on Franklin & Van Buren. I had the Okra Alligator, and I can recommend it highly.

The only reason for anybody to eat okra is if they can't get hold of filé.  If their Boerewors is the real thing, though, it'll be worth trying.

Filé is ground sassafras leaves, it has nothing to do with okra. I happen to use both in gumbo.

What the fuck is this Australian Welsh Belgian doing badmouthing okra?

I know what filé is, mate.  And what I said makes perfect sense - if you can't get filé for your gumbo then, and only then, may you use okra.  Otherwise, nobody has any business eating it.

Sorry, man. I didn't know it was a staple in Ram's Ball Pie.

Also on Van Buren, just east of Franklin, the Washburne Culinary school just opened a cafe a couple weeks ago. Quality eats for not a lot of scratch.

I understand okra's an acquired taste, but I don't go slapping around beans on toast or spotted dick or whatever it is your native cuisine is.

I haven't seen Bort this worked up since somebody bad-mouthed Hootie and the Blowfish on Twitter.

Oddly enough, I'm not a huge okra fan (outside of gumbo, where it fucking belongs). I think this falls under the "nobody picks on my brother but me," or something.
