New Casino Coming To Biloxi

Kiss' restaurant chain Rock & Brews is about to be expanded into a casino complex in Biloxi, Mississippi, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. A partner involved in the project, the RAM Group's Tom Moore, told Casino.org the plans for the casino 'include a 3,000-capacity concert hall, 300-room hotel and a casino with 1,000 slot machines.' The property previously housed a casino owned by Jimmy Buffett under his Margaritaville brand.

A rendering of the new Broadwater Hotel shows the view from the marina. The music-theme hotel will be built on the Broadwater casino site on U.S 90 in Biloxi and will be one of the first three.

Biloxi is the only location of the three where casino gambling is permitted. Under Mississippi law, casinos must feature at least 300 hotel rooms, fine dining, and amenities that will attract new crowds to the market rather than just stealing customers from existing casinos.

Harrahs (in Biloxi) has improved their casino floor with lots of slots and table games and new restaurants. Island View is adding a hotel and another pool. The new Golden Nugget is worth a visit.

Biloxi is always one of the best areas for concert tours in America. Beau Rivage Theatre and Hard Rock Live - Mississippi both have tons of concert activity approaching. Tickets for all Biloxi concerts are protected with a 100% money back guarantee. Biloxi so far has a exciting list of concert tours coming to the city in the next few months.

Funding for the new project is already in place along with site approval being granted. A casino license is expected to be approved in the next few weeks.

A while back, Gene Simmons told us about some prospective business deals he was working on, proving that he has many other interests beyond being a bassist in a legendary rock band: 'There's some real estate deals in China. There are eight different projects -- one is a 55-story skyscraper, a theme park, and lots of other stuff; a cable television network; some stocks. I mean, I can't be too specific about this stuff, but there's a lot of big stuff, any one of which could make Kiss, the entire entity, look like a popcorn fart -- but would be nowhere near as much fun.'

IN OTHER KISS NEWS

Guitarist Tommy Thayer gave an update on the upcoming definitive Kiss documentary tentatively due out in 2021. Thayer told Sweden's RockSverige.se, 'I think we're at least halfway into it. The director is John Dorsey and he's done great things before. We've done interviews on camera and he's putting together a lot of historic footage and talking to a lot of different sources, including us and our archives. It's coming along. I've seen a little bit and I think it will be really exciting and really well done.'

Thayer explained that the doc is featuring unique fan sourced footage as well as deep dives from the Kiss vaults: 'We have a lot of great stuff in our archives for certain, but there's still a lot of other unique and rare stuff out there that we don't have. It's a matter of sourcing that stuff.'

Paul Stanley told us he's amazed at how quickly the time has flown since the band started: 'It really has gone by in the blink of an eye. It's staggering to have all the excitement, and the challenges, the victories, the soap operas -- everything. And yet it seems, y'know, like the blink of an eye.'

Seafood is extremely popular in French cuisine, and the Catholic tradition of eating fish on a Friday still lingers in some areas of France, particularly on the French coast where fishing is still a part of daily life.

We’ve assembled a list of the most popular fish, with their names in French and English. You’ll be confident picking out your poisson préféré in no time!

Travelling to a foreign country opens up new experiences, sites, and tastes. I have encountered a few things in France that did not turn out as I had expected. Some turned out well and some did not. It was definitely a unique experience eating some of these French foods. Would you try them?

How About Eating These French Foods?

Bulots

One summer, I was in Honfleur, in Normandy. It has a beautiful port and my friend and I wanted to have a seafood lunch at a café overlooking the port. I wanted escargot but they didn’t have them so the waitress suggested bulots. In French she stated they were snails, like escargots. I agreed to try them. Surely they’d be like escargots!

Maybe my French was lousy at the time because escargots I did NOT get. Bulots are French sea snails that are white and I recall they were in the shape of a spool of thread, like a cylinder. They were, however, VERY tough and served with a garlic mayonnaise (I think to hide the strong flavour). Maybe they weren’t cooked well. Regardless, they are not on my “favourite French foods” list. Some people love these French foods. Just not me.

(Sorry, no picture of the bulots. They give me nightmares! But Honfleur was beautiful.)

Le Pont l’Évêque Cheese

Cheese at Ecole des Trois Ponts France

When I was in Normandy, there were so many great cheeses besides the popular Camembert, and Le Pont l’Évêque is one of the oldest Norman cheeses still around….and it smells like it’s been around a LONG time! It stinks. It REALLY stinks! (OK, connoisseurs would say it has a “pungent” aroma, but I say it “stinks”). So, would you take the chance and taste this cheese?

Quail’s Eggs

At Ecole des Trois Ponts, one of the hor d’oeuves we made was quails eggs with chives, butter and cream. It is not something I would have chosen to make or eat; however, this was a good opportunity to try something new. The quail’s egg was very small, served in a shot glass and eaten raw. What was it like? Like eating a raw egg. Sorry, no surprise.

Bavette

When I was in La Rouviere, renting a house in the south of France for the first time with my friend, Laurie, we decided to go out for dinner to a local restaurant that had a French-only menu. This was at a time when cell phones and quickly looking up translations online were not in available. We had the trusty French-English paper dictionary, which we carried around with us. There was “bavette de boeuf”. OK, I know “boeuf” is beef. But bavette? We looked up the word. The only translation given was “bib”. Hmmm. Order or not order?

I took a chance and ordered the “bavette”. What was it? Flank steak done in a red wine and shallots. No risk there. For years I never knew what I had really eaten. Not an unusual food; however, you may encounter a time where you have no translation for the food listed in front of you. Would you try it?

Steak or Salmon Tartare

Steak and salmon tartare are very popular in France and I have had both. At Le Foodist in Paris, we prepared the Salmon Tartare for our lunch and it was incredibly easy. It is basically raw salmon and seasonings. In this case we had the salmon on soya infused turnip and Yuzu Foam. Some people shy away from raw foods, but I must say, the flavour of raw steak or salmon is powerful…in a good way.

My experience at Le Foodist is in this post.
