If you ignore the construction going on in front, this is a nice looking place. I’m not sure what they’re doing with the construction, but I saw a bunch of potted plants out there, so landscaping is in the near future. It’ll probably be nicer looking then! This place is located right on the Mississippi… Continue reading RiverShack Gretna, Gretna, LA Report #260

Parkway Bakery & Tavern, New Orleans, LA Report #249
If I told a fellow New Orleanian I had never been here, their response would be, “You’re kidding, right? It’s that popular a po-boy shop. And very old. Established in 1911. I normally eat healthy during the week and hit the gym every day, so I don’t balloon up to 300 pounds, but there was… Continue reading Parkway Bakery & Tavern, New Orleans, LA Report #249
Liuzza’s, New Orleans, LA Report #247
This place isn’t associated at all with the Liuzza’s near the Fairgrounds Race Course. Totally different restaurant and owners. There’s a po-boy restaurant near here called Parkway Bakery & Tavern. During the month of November they have a special Thanksgiving po-boy sandwich, with turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce on it. They normally advertise it pretty… Continue reading Liuzza’s, New Orleans, LA Report #247

Boucherie, New Orleans, LA Report #222
I keep a list of restaurants I want to try one day. This place made the list when I found out they had bread pudding made from Krispy Kreme donuts! So that was the main reason I came here. I’ve now got many other reasons to return. Small little cozy place. Even the flowers on… Continue reading Boucherie, New Orleans, LA Report #222
Home Cooking Café, Harvey, LA Report #206
I was in the mood for some home cooking today and I had heard good things about this place. I looked up their menu online and it showed the only two entrées they had were meatloaf and fried chicken. That sounded good to me, so we headed on in! When we got there we found… Continue reading Home Cooking Café, Harvey, LA Report #206
Commander’s Palace, New Orleans, LA Report #200
It’s hard to believe this is my 200th report. Long ago I wondered if I’d still be doing this long enough to get to 200. Then I thought, “Why not? It’s not like I’m doing anything else”. So here I am. For my 200th report I knew I had to go somewhere special. An old,… Continue reading Commander’s Palace, New Orleans, LA Report #200
