Mosca’s Chicken a la Grande
Apr 23rd, 2008 by Nola
I had to pick Sun up from the Westbank today. Seems I am across the river often these days. Today I passed Mosca’s twice. Once was hard, twice was really hard. Especially because YatPundit kept twittering about how he had cooked Mosca’s Chicken a la Grande last night.
Over dinner, I mentioned Mosca’s, planning a trip back to eat dinner. A diner close to us mentioned a rumor he’d heard about Al Capone sending his chef to New Orleans to learn from Mosca. I have no idea if this is true.
Then later tonight, YatPundit posted about his home-cooked Mosca’s dinner last night. He used a sauce Mosca’s sells in the grocery store. And YP mentions yet another mob-themed rumor about Mosca’s in his post.
Oh, the allure of a mob-rumored hole in the wall restaurant in the middle of nowhere three cities away! Yes, we will have to do a group dinner there soon. Until then, I will just pretend that YatPundit’s post was also a scratch-n-sniff. I can almost smell the garlic!
I haven’t been to Mosca’s, either. My parents used to go every now and then and loved it. The rumor I read was that it was Carlos Marcello’s joint and that he met his underlings there every Sunday to so they could turn over their tithes. Allegedly. And also allegedly, there’s more than one body that’s been disposed of out back in the gator swamp. Allegedly.
hey, I don’t mind being a scratch-n-sniff, so long as you don’t leave marks i have to explain to the wife
YatPundit’s last blog post..No wonder they don’t call me anymore…
Living in the vicinity of Mosca’s, I will simply say that I BELIEVE NONE OF THIS TRASH. How could anyone say such things?
Now, back to your talk of all things UNTRUE.
SoMo’s last blog post..Sorry, All Full!
I’ve been no less than 5 times sine Jan. Great food, nothing fancy about the decor but that isn’t what one goes to Mosca’s for anyway!!
