The Barry Table

It's about food, sure, but just like Barry tables across Chicago and around the country, this is also a place to share ideas, make plans for family reunions and boast about recent accomplishments, food-related or not.

New Year's Eve Bouillabaisse



What do boring people do New Year's Eve?

They cook! Here's a shot of our New Year's Eve bouillabaisse. I believe that it is traditional in some cultures to serve fish on New Year's Eve. This stew featured mussels, tilapia, clams, scallops, and shrimp, but the key ingredient was the 3/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Yum.


We served it with griddled sourdough bread and some fancy Spanish olive oil. We also had some aioli to drop right into your soup, nice and garlicky. The whole thing was very Spanish.

Any food or cooking New Year's resolutions out there?

Happy New Year everybody!
