Would You Accept a Bowl of Etouffee From This Woman?
Sarah Carrico enjoys a bowl of crawfish etouffee. Hold the mayo on that!
Of course you would. After all, she recently won a complimentary bowl of crawfish etouffee as a result of a Brick Oven Biistro Memory that she shared on our Facebook page:
"I'm 27, and for the first, oh, ~22 years of my life, The Beanery [old habits die hard...] was the only place I would eat mayonnaise. To this day, I still consider a turkey on white with everything and mashed potatoes [with a dollop of muffaletta!] the only candidate for my last meal - no joke. I used to get a Clearly Canadian every time, too, but... I drink alcohol now :D"
"My meals taste just as good as when I was a child - now I'm able to appreciate the goodness even more, and, shucks, I loves me some Brick."
Well, we loves us some customers like Sarah...not just beause they are customers, but because of their commitment to our local culinary scene. Sarah, for example, works as a prep cook for our friends across The Grove at Bar Gernika (Bar Gernika owner, Jeff May, worked his first restaurant gig at the Brick Oven Bistro, we're proud to say) and as a wine sales person at Bueno Cheapo Vino up on Vista near Rose Hill on Sundays.
Sarah has a big adventure ahead of her this October. She is planning to visit a friend in Shanghai, China, to take in the culinary scene. Turns out that her friend works at the legendary Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai, so Sarah plans to divide her time bewteen haute cuisine and street food. We're jealous, but we're hoping she'll drop us a postcard. Better yet, we're hoping she'll come back for a turkey sandwich when her adventure is through and share some stories with us.
By the way...Sarah's bowl of etouffee was the first she'd ever had in her life. Beats the heck out of mayo, doesn't it?
If you'd like to share a Brick Oven Bistro memory with us, just click here to tell your story. There may not be any such thing as a free lunch, but at least we won't make you sing for your supper -- unless, of course, you don't mind seeing your performance on YouTube!
