Let’s go retro!

From Rob Balon’s website:

Slowly but surely, some restaurants around Austin and elsewhere are adding some dishes to menus that haven’t been seen in some time….I’m beginning to see a return of 60′s-70′s stalwarts like Oysters Rockefeller, Beef Wellington, Lobster Newburg, Veal Oscar, Chateaubriand, Coquille St. Jacques, Weinerschnitzel and many others.

Thanks a whole hell of a lot, Rob, for not naming any place that actually serves any of these dishes.

(Cafe Blue does a good Oysters Rockefeller. I haven’t been to Gumbo’s in Round Rock since they moved, but I remember theirs being good as well. Actually, I’d dispute Balon’s assertion that Oysters Rock ever went out of style. As for his other dishes, I’d love to know who locally is serving those. Except for Weinerschnitzel, as I have a fair idea where to go for that.)
