[title type="h3"]Brigtsen's Coolinary[/title]
Among the most delicious of special summer attractions is the Coolinary menu put forth by Frank and Marna Brigtsen at their fine bistro in Riverbend. Not only because the food is great, but because the dining room is a little looser than the packed house in season. The program: three courses, for $38. The menu is a fine representation of Frank's food:
Filé Gumbo
Chicken & andouille sausage
~or~
Marinated Shrimp Salad
Guacamole, bbq tortilla chips, cherry tomatoes, & pickled sweet peppers

Mustard & Cornmeal Fried Des Allemands Catfish
