The Pink Tea Cup: Here's a paradox: luxury, upscale, southern-style comfort food. What's up with that? Why don't people just start wearing flip flops to the opera, or buy the plastic forks for their next picnic at Tiffany's? Though Pink Teacup 2.0 is a timely resurrection of the 55-year-old village staple (which closed due to a rent hike—shocking!), the changes are just as pervasive as the original touches. For starters, new owner, Lawrence Page, stocked celeb mixologist, Eric Gonzales, behind the bar. Gonzales mixes up one heck of a good honey mint julep ($12) for this side of Dixie, not to mention his lip-smacking watermelon sangria. But, with its glossy wood paneling and plush upholstery, the new teacup is a far cry from the original dive it seeks to emulate. Sure, there’s fried chicken with waffles, barbecue shrimp with grits, even po'boys on the menu, but eating here may cause you to suffer an identity crisis—herb-crusted rack of lamb with roasted shallot au jus doesn't exactly jive with the mom's home cooking theme. You can expect the place to be hopping till the wee hours, especially since the property includes an A-list lounge in the downstairs space and a stage for live performances. |
