The Lady May, Ocean Springs, MS Report #698

I found a fantastic restaurant! Unfortunately, it’s in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I wish it was closer to New Orleans. We took a little road trip and happened upon this place. Simply lovely. It doesn’t matter if you chose to dine inside or in the courtyard, you have access to the bar. They also have a…

Luzianne Café, New Orleans, LA Report #599

I work a block away from this place. Every day driving home I see that little sign in the second picture above at the corner of Magazine and Girod, but never considered checking them out. Then a friend recommended I try the place. I pulled up the menu online and saw they had Calas. That’s…

Biscuits & Buns On Banks, New Orleans, LA Report #594

I subscribe to a few emails that constantly send me restaurant suggestions. I got one of those and this place was on it. After checking the menu two things got us in here today. Biscuits and hot sausage. First, my dining partner is a biscuit connoisseur. With biscuit as the first word in their name…

Up&Adam Eatz, New Orleans, LA Report #585

Last Saturday, at about 10:50 AM, we came here to eat. Thinking we beat the lunchtime crowd we were surprised to see about 15 people sitting and standing outside waiting for a table! We ended up going to El Pavo Real. Today we got here at about 10:30 AM and were lucky enough to get…

Messina’s Runway Cafe, New Orleans, LA Report #556

If you’ve flown into New Orleans before you most likely flew into Louis Armstrong International Airport. But since that airport is in the city of Kenner, you actually didn’t fly into New Orleans. However, we do have a small airport here in New Orleans. As you can see on the map in the second picture…

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…

Trenasse, New Orleans, LA Report #499

If you’re walking around the New Orleans Central Business District looking for this restaurant, you won’t find it. You need to be looking for the InterContinental Hotel. It’s located on the first floor of that building. The main entrance to the restaurant (where you have to see the hostess to be seated), is located under…

Ted’s Frostop, New Orleans, LA Report #487

This place is affiliated with the national chain of Frostop restaurants, started in 1926 in Columbus, Ohio. There’s also one in Metairie (Report #376), which is just named “Frostop”. This one is named Ted’s Frostop, so I guess they’re all independently owned and operated. The menu here is also different, so I gave this one…

Coffee &, Marrero, LA Report #478

Marrero is located just south of New Orleans, on the WestBank of the Mississippi River. I live in the part of New Orleans that’s on the Westbank (called Algiers), so it’s not far from my house at all. I’ve seen this place several times, and always thought it was just a little donut shop. Well,…

Abita Springs Cafe, Abita Springs, LA Report #430

It was such a beautiful day here in New Orleans we decided to take the bikes, make the voyage across the Causeway to the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain and do a little bike riding on the Tammany Trace. With my luck when we arrived there it was raining. But it soon stopped and we were…
