| Susan Spicer is a name well known in New Orleans and throughout the country, largely because of her Bayona restaurant in the French Quarter, and because she was the first female breakout chef in the city. Her venture Mondo is a casual family restaurant in the Lakeview area, a part of town starved for innovative cuisine since it was so hard hit by Katrina in 2005. Spicer brings a cutting-edge mentality to her work, evident in such dishes as the fried eggplant with lemon aïoli appetizer, and the skewered Thai shrimp with pork meatballs. Her pizza is becoming a real calling card, and here it's baked in a state-of-the-art wood-burning oven and topped with items like bacon, egg and ricotta, or traditional pepperoni paired with onion, garlic and jalapeños. The food is creative and the setting is contemporary and light, but the servers lack the necessary sense of urgency, and in some cases their understanding of the menu is weak. Knowing Spicer’s attention to detail, this will change, but it needs to happen sooner rather than later. |
