Last night we attended One Restaurant and Lounge's 5th Anniversary party on Hampson Street. It was a cool, clear Tuesday night and many people came out to show their support by purchasing a drink from the bar and noshing on some free food. Chef Scott prepared his delicious char-grilled oysters with Roquefort cheese and red wine vinaigrette, as well as some other delectable dishes. My personal favorite was the pulled pork, which was rubbed with brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and paprika, then slow cooked all day in a bath of beer and chicken broth. The result was moist and tender pork served up with some long-grain white rice. After enjoying the pork and some chicken and sausage gumbo, I grabbed a white wine from the bar, headed outside, and hovered over the hot boiled shrimp with potatoes, corn, sausage, garlic, and mushrooms to stay warm.
The music, friendly crowd, and wonderful food was a great mid-week escape from the norm and I was very happy to be included. I look forward to sampling the new Lenten menu that the restaurant has created (available on their website) and attending the celebration again next year!
Congratulations One! Here's to enjoying another year of great food!
