Poet Wolfe wrote a piece on Schlitz and Snake and Jake's for NOLA.com and I absolutely love that it was greenlit.

Cracking open a $2 Schlitz under the Christmas lights at Snake and Jake’s was a true New Orleans experience.The lager was discontinued nationwide this week, taking a piece of the dive bar’s soul with it.

The end of an era. No more $2 Schlitz at Snake and Jake's. After 177 years, the beer has been discontinued. I went in last night for one final round.

Đặc Biệt translates to “special” and this is special as she hosts it in her home. Perfecting recipes for her upcoming restaurant.

(I’ve shared some of this before but wanted to provide more context as well as details on the menu - which she is rotating). Chef Nini Nguyen is the s**t.

The room was hot. The High Life’s were cold. Everyone at Bon Temps last night is now bonded for life. What a show.

Chef Nini Nguyen (Top Chef, Food Network, etc.) is hosting a Đặc Biệt or “special” cooking studio in her home to work out recipes for her upcoming restaurant. I went to the first dinner series event last night and it’s the most unique dining experience I’ve ever had in New Orleans. BOOK ON INSTAGRAM!
