Down The Hatch, New Orleans, LA Report #559

Is it just me, or does it seem like bars always have the best burgers? Why is that? It seems like if I owned a business whose main purpose was to get customers as liquored up as possible, I wouldn’t worry that much about the food. But they do. At least here in New Orleans.…

The 70123, Harahan, LA Report #547

I guess this place is called The 70123 because that’s the zip code where it’s located, in Harahan, La. Funny thing about that is I used to live in the 70122 zip code, which is in New Orleans, and nowhere close to the 70123 zip code! Whoever numbered the zip codes for the post office…

The Little Easy, New Orleans, LA Report #544

I heard this place had good pressed poboys. I checked out their menu online and saw this: Tamales? Cheese curds? And look at those crawfish nachos! I had to get in here! My greediness blinded me to the fact that time marches on and menus change. We got here and none of that was on…

Causeway Bar & Grill, Metairie, LA Report #525

This place is located just one block away from a very popular shopping mall in Metairie. It’s also located right before the Interstate 10 onramp to New Orleans, so just about every time I’ve been in Metairie and headed home, I passed right by it. Not being a drinker, I never considered dropping in. But…

Palmettos On The Bayou, Slidell, LA Report #523

I knew I’d be in Slidell, LA., today, so earlier this week I asked folks in an online food group where I should eat. This was overwhelmingly the suggestion I got. I decided to take their advice. From the outside the place looks like a little shack. But it’s funny. Just like every morning when…

The Reef, Biloxi, MS Report #512

This was my final stop on my little Mississippi Gulf Coast getaway. When I first looked at this place I thought, “Wow, this joint is huge”! But it’s really not as big as it looks. At first you think it’s three stories, but the first floor is nothing but space. That’s reserved for the storm…

Restaurant Cote, Slidell, LA Report #488

I spent the weekend in Slidell to attend some job training. Thanks to a friend who lives nearby, I discovered this little strip of restaurants in Olde Towne Slidell some time ago. I’ve tried KY’s Olde Towne Bicycle Shop and Deanasco, and enjoyed them both, so I was looking forward to trying this place. Their…

Pizza Domenica, New Orleans, LA Report #484

I had been in the mood for pizza since Friday. That night we had an excellent dinner at a Cajun restaurant named Gabrielle, so no pizza. But I planned to take care of that Saturday night, because we were going to an Italian place called Randazzo’s. Wouldn’t you know I pick maybe the only Italian…

Mr. B’s Bistro, New Orleans, LA Report #481

Decided to venture into the French Quarter today for a Father’s Day Brunch at Mr. B’s Bistro. One thing I hate about coming into the French Quarter is parking. That’s not a problem here. There’s a parking garage right behind the restaurant. It’s located at 721 Iberville St., and you can park there for just…

Oscar’s, Metairie, LA Report #445

As you can see, this is a bar. Big one. Darts. Pool. Jello shots. All the normal bar stuff. But I’m not a drinker. I’m an eater. I’ve been hearing for some time that the burgers here were great. When people told me it was on Metairie Rd., I had no idea where. I’ve driven…
