Baby Back

OMG, why is it, that everybody outside of US thinks that Americans eat ribs, burgers and nothing else? All this, when for example there's more Chinese restaurants in the States than McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's restaurants combined.

Anyhow if you want to see and taste a comical stereo type of what the rest of the world thinks US looks like and what it eats - this place "Baby Back" is perfect. Unfortunately it doesn't come close to offering a sampling of American cuisine, not even of the stereotypical one.

The steaks are horribly over-cooked and over-priced, this pretty much goes for the rest of the food too. My personal funny favorite from the menu is Creole Gumbo. Boy, they must really know their stuff, since they actually make a distinction between Creole and Cajun Gumbos outside of Louisiana. But...it turns out they think Creole Gumbo is a spicy creamy soup. Yep, they put cream in Gumbo. Believe it.

I don't think I'm going to make a mistake of visiting them again. Not good food, not at all, but you don't have to take my word for it. Go ahead, I dare you.

Now here, this is the way to make Gumbo, yes it takes forever, specially if you make your own roux. I do. It's worth it. There's nothing like a great Gumbo.
