I have yet to make it all the way through the menu at Curbside or even try their chocolate shake because I am constantly distracted by their burger and shake specials. I am always interested in how the store reinterprets their inventory to come up with new dishes that might eventually find their way onto the main menu. I’ve had that responsibility/opportunity before, and it is exciting, kind of like posting a picture on Instagram looking for likes, except in this case, you are looking for purchases. I only wish that back then I had been social media savvy enough to post a picture of the double beef burger (regular burger topped with roast beef and gravy) or the surf and turf (all beef patty + one crab cake). It would also be nice to have pictures of some of those huge crawfish boils we use to cater for the valve companies in Baton Rouge. Five thousand pounds of crawfish, jambalaya for a thousand, and bars that started with a case of Crown Royal with our ex-Golden Girls turned Bud Girls bar tending. Maybe some of those are best kept as memories rather than photos–but I digress. I love the way Curbside digs deep into history like they did for the Oklahoma Onion burger a while back, or in this case deconstruct a French Onion poboy and remake it into the Naq Attaque, basically a French Onion burger with caramelized onions and lots of thick gooey Swiss cheese with a side of french onion soup for french dipping. And who could pass up a White Chocolate Peppermint shake this time of year?
