Mama Roux's Anew

Went to lunch with a friend and got lost on the way to Mama Roux Anew but finally found it again. It is worth the drive. Had the $6.99 lunch special of Tomato Basil Soup and a Turkey Reuben sandwich. Both were delicious especially the soup. Got a chance to talk to Chef Kim and met her son. He and I are both lovers of Spam [the canned meat not the unwelcome email].

Just a bit of serendipity took me to Mama Roux's Anew today. I went elsewhere for lunch and [as my grandmother would say: 'had my face made up for...] found out there was only buffet available. I wanted to try the new Chicken Guacamole sandwich but to no avail. I had heard that Mama Roux was open again in a new location so 'in a fit of 'pique' went there. Good choice!

I had the above pictured Fried Shrimp Po' Boy [$8.99]. Good big fresh shrimp bathed in mayonnaise and a wicked remoulade sauce and tucked into lettuce, tomato and pickles on perfectly crusty French bread. I had the option of kettle chips, coleslaw or potato salad. Great meal and I will be back.

blognote: was disappointed that Chef Kim was not there as I have known her since she was a kid running around Fong's, her parents' restaurant in Middletown, and then as a chef in the original Mama Roux's in Cromwell center.

Thanks to the dear neighbors that tucked a menu from Mama Roux’s Anew in my door. What a surprise when I got home! I remember Mama from her childhood at Fong’s in Middlesex and then her superb eatery on Main Street in Cromwell. My last entry visit was May 7th in 2007 [see Cajun on left in Labels column]. I had heard rumors that she was back and now I have the proof. I will eat there soon and report back. No website info yet but from the menus it’s breakfast and lunch.

Mama Roux'

Had another great Sunday breakfast at Mama Roux.

Excellent Chicken Fried Pork with Pepper Gravy over Biscuits and HomeFries
Good Eggs Benedict

But the star entrée was the Mama's Crepes Special stuffed with a Scallion Mascarpone, fresh Spinach and Bacon smothered with Scrambled Eggs and served with HomeFries. YES!

bloginfo: Mama Roux is actually in Cromwell on Main Street but I consider it Middletown as it is so close to my house.
blognote: Kim [Mama Roux] is a terrific chef!
