Outside of Uglesich's Restaurant

We wish to thank the following for the recongnition the restaurant has received:

The Times-Picayune, April 23, 2008
"Cooking With The Uglesiches" (Pelican Publishing, $25.00) is the second cookbook by John Uglesich about his family's famous restaurant.
He is the grandson of the Yugoslavian founder, and the son of Anthony and Gail, the beloved operators of the quintessential neighborhood restaurant on Baronne St..
"The Uglesich's Restaurant Cookbook," also from Pelican, was published in 2004. Uglesich's closed in May, 2005. One of the most touching things about the new book is the section of photos, taken by customers, of the last day.
With 19 restaurant recipes that weren't in the first book, 41 recipes made in the family home and a handful of desserts, there are fewer recipes this time around, but the ones that are here are much easier to follow than those in the first cookbook. An attempt has been made to make them accessible to home cooks who might not want to make a quart of sauce for one serving.

"Please don't retire this year, Anthony", beseech acolytes who adore Mr. U's 80-year lunch only "culinary mecca", a Garden District "monument to New Orleans eating" where the "sublime" "renditions of Cajun-Creole staples" "beat the pants off" the competition; disciples "dream of being spoon-fed shrimp Uggie 24 hours day" and "would fight Mike Tyson for the BBQ oysters", which is why "limos" regularly "pull up outside" this "ramshackle", "decrepit" seafooder and the wait is "mind-numbing."

UGLESICH'S (New Orleans)
"Some day soon, before Anthony and Gail Uglesich hang up their pots and pans for good at this beloved 10 table dive and head into retirement, I vow to devote several days to sampling every decadent dish on their Louisiana seafood menu. In May, I showed admirable restraint by 'settling' for barbecued shrimp and barbecued oysters; deeply flavored jambalaya; shrimp and grits in a creamy sauce; crawfish maque choux (crawfish smothered with white corn, tomato and seasonings; and fried green toamtoes topped with shrimp and remoulade sauce."
