We didn’t plan to eat here tonight. But, we’re still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. Closed restaurants are abundant, and when you find an open one, odds are the menu will be limited. As this one was tonight. And then there’s the wait for a table. We were told it’d be an hour.… Continue reading Boulevard American Bistro, Elmwood, LA Report #411

Post Street Craft Beer Ale House, Spokane, WA Report #71
Guess what? I’m still in Spokane, Washington. Guess what else? It’s still cold! But not snowing anymore thank God after the six inches we had yesterday. And lastly, guess the final thing. I still gotta eat! I was in a burger mood so I went to a bar. If you want a good burger bars… Continue reading Post Street Craft Beer Ale House, Spokane, WA Report #71
Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar, Spokane, WA Report #70
Through no fault of my own I ended up in Spokane, Washington. I have NEVER seen this much snow in my life! I think it was 1975 when it snowed enough in New Orleans that I was able to build a snowman using every bit of snow in my yard. I saw that much here… Continue reading Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar, Spokane, WA Report #70
Las Mkt, Las Vegas, NV Report #69
A couple firsts here. 1) this is my first time reporting on a restaurant in an airport and 2) this is my first time doing a report on my iPhone so I have no idea how the finished report will look. If I’m smart enough to actually finish it, that is. Anyway, I normally wouldn’t… Continue reading Las Mkt, Las Vegas, NV Report #69
The Appetite Repair Shop, New Orleans, LA Report #46
I’ve been wanting to try this place out for some time now because I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Tucked away on back streets in historic Algiers Point, on the Westbank of New Orleans, if you don’t know it’s there and go looking for it you’d never find it. At first it just… Continue reading The Appetite Repair Shop, New Orleans, LA Report #46
Bruno’s Tavern, New Orleans, LA Report #42
A local food critic named Tom Fitzmorris always advised against buying Groupons to go to restaurants. I have no idea why. I’ve discovered SOOOOO many good restaurants through Groupon! And what’s wrong with getting your food at a discount? The restaurant put themselves on Groupon! I didn’t. I just always make sure to tip on… Continue reading Bruno’s Tavern, New Orleans, LA Report #42
Swegs Kitchen, Metairie, LA Report #41
I decided to eat healthy today and I heard this was the place to do it. I heard right. The first thing that impresses you when you walk in this place is how spotlessly clean, neat and well lit it is. Even the restrooms are impressive! The menu is loaded with healthy items to accommodate… Continue reading Swegs Kitchen, Metairie, LA Report #41
Café 615, Home of Da Wabbit, Gretna, LA Report #40
Today was my birthday and my daughter treated me to dinner. When she asked where I wanted to go Da Wabbit immediately came to mind. Why? I have no idea. But Da Wabbit is always a great choice. This place dates back to 1949 when it was a drive-in. It’s now a really good restaurant… Continue reading Café 615, Home of Da Wabbit, Gretna, LA Report #40
Red Robin, Slidell, LA Report #36
This is one of my favorite burger places. I wish we had one in New Orleans, but we don’t, so if I crave one of their burgers I have to drive across the lake to Slidell. Since I was headed that way and had a free burger because my birthday is coming up I stopped… Continue reading Red Robin, Slidell, LA Report #36
Atomic Burger, Metairie, LA Report #35
When I try a new burger place I go with the simplest burger they offer to kind of set a baseline. No sense in trying something more exotic if their simple burger isn’t any good. So I ordered the Atomic Burger. I asked what the “A.B. Sauce” was and was told it was a combo… Continue reading Atomic Burger, Metairie, LA Report #35
