After a recent visit to Stiles Switch BBQ, for the 12 Days of Smoked Meats during the holiday season, I was inspired to create my own monster biscuit sandwich modeled after the Ola-Mailman Sandwich, which includes Olamaie’s famous biscuit stuffed with smoked meats from the pits. While the Ola-Mailman Sandwich was everything I dreamed it would be, it’s only available for one day of the year. The fat kid inside of me (and outside) wants to be able to enjoy this sandwich at a not-so-special occasion and eat it anytime I want.
Since I have absolutely no patience whatsoever and have no interest in waiting another year to enjoy another one of their glorious biscuit sandwiches, I let my cravings take over and took crack at re-creating my own version of the sandwich at home.
I’m not one for spending tons of time in my kitchen, so my goal was to spend the least amount of time preparing a meal to achieve maximum taste satisfaction. I bought a few biscuits from Olamaie and a pound of moist cut brisket from Stiles Switch to get the ball rolling. After scrounging through my fridge, I sliced a medium thick cut of Tillamook cheddar, fried-up a few free-range organic eggs and added a few slices of Grillo pickles on the side. The result was nothing short of Instagram-worthy!
1 – Olamaie Biscuit (or use your favorite) sliced in half
1/4 lb. – Slice of your favorite smoked brisket

1 Tbsp of Grillo Pickle Chips (or your preference)
1 – Tsp of Whataburger’s Spicy Patty Melt Sauce

Stack ingredients between in any order sandwiched between the sliced biscuit halfs, finishing with the cheese as final topping. Serve warm and enjoy!

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
