~t time of year is upon us here at
Palace cafe and Vickie 'Brennan's Steakhouse as
we move into the lazy days of summer. The city
slows down, and everyone seems to fall into a
more relaxed pace. Lunch and dinner guests
tend to linger a bit, and conversations are filled
with talk of summer plans and vacations.

Now in its seventh year, this special has become a ING of the GRILL huge local favorite and synonymous with summer at
Palace Cafe. This year, Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse will also be offering
Temperature Lunch Specials.
It just wouldn't be Father's Day without something on the grill.
Whether it's steaks, burgers, fish, chicken, chops or kabobs, Dads
everywhere love the thrill of the grill. There's always plenty on the
grills at the Steakhouse. So, this year why not treat Dad and the whole
family to dinner at Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse on Father's Day.
No matter if he's a 12 oz. Filet, a 16 oz. Cast Iron Seared Strip or a
24 oz. Porterhouse kind of a guy, we'll make sure it's the Father's Day
he never forgets. Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse will be open for
dinner on Father's Day from 5:30-10 p.m. Palace Cafe will be open
for Jazz Brunch from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., and for dinner from
5:30-10 p.m. Or, if he's set on grilling his own steak this year,
a gift certificate to Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse is the ultimate
Father's Day present! Stop by the restaurant or give us a call at
522-2467, and we'll get one in the mail to Dad for you.
Here's how it works: From June 18 through September 7, take the high
temperature from the previous day and add a decimal point between the
two numbers, then add a zero to the end. For example, if the temperature
were 92° on Monday, the price of the Lunch Special on Tuesday would be
$9.20. Chef Gus Martin changes the specials weekly, so visit our new
websites or caU us to see what's cookin' ... or just come on in.

Summer in New Orleans is hot and humid, sultry and salty, and lazy. And although you may
hear us complain every once in a while, we really wouldn't have it any other way. Summer is a
day in the French Quarter browsing through every air-conditioned antique shop on Royal Street
in hopes of cooling off enough to make it a few doors down the street on a two hour, six-block
stroll from Canal Street to St. Louis Cathedral. It's a cool, crisp salad for lunch and al fresco
dining on nights when there's a nice breeze going.
During the summer, plenty of our local produce is at its peak, and some of our best seafood is
in season. Every morning, we hold our kitchen doors open for sweet, plump blueberries from
our good friend Betty Landry's farm in Mississippi, juicy Ruston peaches, Vidalia onions, Creole
tomatoes and beautiful Louisiana soft-shell crabs. Andouille Crusted Soft-shell Crabs with Jumbo
Lump Crabmeat and Basil Risotto, Fried Green Tomatoes with a Louisiana Crawfish Ragout and
our Grilled Prime Beef Steak Salad with Hearts of Romaine and Cucumber-Red Onion Relish are
just a few of the creations born from such delights that find their way to our menus.
Seasonal specials at Palace Cafe and Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse change weekly. So, there's
always something new to try and an excuse for you to get out of the kitchen and corne
downtown to the French Quarter this summer! And for days when it's too hot to go anywhere,
try this quick, easy recipe for our Ponchatoula Strawberry and Spinach Salad.
