[title type="h5"]The New Tujague's Age Embraces The Coolinary.[/title]
It's been just a few years since Mark Latter transported Tujague's into the present era of Creole cooking. Where once was a limited table d'hote menu that offered you a choice of "take it" or "leave it," now the kitchen has a range as broad as that of any other Creole gourmet bistro. On the other hand, it would be wrong for a century-and-a-half restaurant to be entirely on the cutting edge. The menu for the Coolinary show how the current and trandtional styles are getting along.
