Last month at Parleaux we tried a mini-version of the Hang playfully called ‘tit Hang (or petit Hang, named after the miniature float parade during Mardi Gras ‘tit Rex). It was a hit! We had just a couple menu items made with intention and the folks at Parleaux could not have been kinder. Were pumped to go back and have a similar chill afternoon in the courtyard.

Folks we are so excited to be back at Tell Me Bar on Sunday the 19th of February. Tell Me is one of our favorite spots in New Orleans are they just were named Best Wine Bar by Eater NOLA Awards 2023. This will be our third pop-up open to the publc at Tell Me and we’ve done one private event. We love how the cage lights up the courtyard and allows people to enjoy the fire with a beautiful glass of wine.

On the menu will be chickens, veggie plates and the usual accompaniment of empanadas. For dessert: rice pudding and grilled pineapple. Tell Me is going to have some wine pairing suggestions - and 25% off all bottles - and it’s all going to be a damn good time. We will go until we sell out.

Credit to Uzi that we are coming in hot for a Pop Up. We are excited to veer off our traditional ticketed tasting menu event to serve up items off of the fire and grill. Why? Well, besides just getting out there on Monday so many places are closed, we feel OFC and Tell Me are natural co-conspirators.
