Welcome to the Louisville Restaurants Forum, a civil place for the intelligent discussion of the local restaurant scene and just about any other topic related to food and drink in and around Louisville.
First BIG thanks to Robin for helping me with my log on issues. Second years ago I posted here asking if any place did a Feast of Seven Fishes. When it appeared no place did Majids stepped up and did a one off for some of us here that was amazing! I’m not asking for another place to do one. Just a comment that if a place did it, even for one night, it would sell out. I wish I could crash a families FOSF dinner. Happy Holidays to all of you. TG
Tony, that would be great all right! It probably wouldn't be a big attraction to people who aren't familiar with la Festa dei sette pesci, but a lot would depend on marketing. All the best of the holidays to you, too.
We do a Feast of the Seven Fishes every year. I grew up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood in Queens and I thought everyone did that on Christmas Eve. When we moved here, I was totally surprised when a) no one had a clue what I was talking about and b) it was nearly impossible to find scungulli and baccala locally.
It was just a guess. We lived in Astoria in the early '90s and loved it. It was heavily Greek by then, so much so that the ATMs offered English only as the alternate choice. But the Italian roots were still there, and we took full advantage.
At the Italian Table on Frankfort reports two spots opened for tonight. I would bet there’s no other place in town that would do a more authentic FoSF. They are on Open Table.
