[title type="h3"]Coolinary, Bayou Style At Trenasse[/title]
Among the unexpectedly fine new restaurants this year, Trenasse in the Inter-Continental Hotel came from out of nowhere (its roots are in Destin, Florida) to put before us the kind of food we never get tired if eating, the Creole-and-Cajun-seasoned dishes made almost entirely from local seafood and produce. It has the look of an all-dat hotel cafe, but it operates independently and with great taste.

The price for the three-course Coolinary dinner is $37--a couple of bucks less than the standard. Trenasse is also cooking a two-course Coolinary lunch for $20 (with complimentary fountain drinks and iced tea, at that). And a three-course Sunday brunch for $35, including a free glass of Montmarte French bubbly.
Here is Trenasse's first Coolinary dinner menu, one I hope leads to many more in the future.
