    I want my Pot-au-feu
    Posted by Roland Tanglao on 8/31/05; 11:29:00 PM
    From the Recipes dept.

    Read the whole thing. Mmmm. Can't wait for winter to try this out!

    From Le Pot-au-feu.:

    QUOTE

    As ubiquitous as pot-au-feu once was on the French dinner table, it may rapidly be turning into a gastronomic curiosity. Once the common evening repas of the French middle class, today a meal of pot-au-feu is a novelty. In this era of take-out food and frozen meals, preparing a dinner that requires a substantial portion of the day to cook seems anachronistic. Once ideally suited to cooking on the residual heat of the iron stove still hot from preparation of the midday meal, pot-au-feu requires too much attention for modern lives in modern times.

    Libby's is no longer open for dinner, closed Mondays and opens at 7a.m.

    From the Restaurants dept.

    Alas, before I had a chance to check it out, Libby's is no longer open for dinner. As well they are closed Mondays and now open at 7:00a.m instead of 6:30a.m. as they used to be. The 'hood is changing with the advent of the Brix condo development (official Brix site) and other new housing developments so I wouldn't be surprised to see these newcomers eventually resulting in Libby's and other places serving dinner.
