NVM Review
(May 2008)By Warren Rojas
Revel in the fiercely flavorful oysters Nezpique ($14.95), a Cajun feast of chubby, deep-fried oysters, shredded crab and tasso ham matchsticks in a zesty roux. Switch from heat to sweet with a slice of homemade chess pie ($5.95) bearing warm lemon custard streaked with raspberry sauce and dusted with powdered sugar.
(June/July 2007)By Warren Rojas
Those in search of a mid-day Mardi Gras can revel in a lunch of oysters Nezpique, combining deep-fried oysters, nuggets of pulled crab and matchsticks of smoked ham, all submerged in a fiery Cajun roux. C'est si bon!
