This place has an address of 5001 Airline Dr., but if you’re driving down Airline looking for it, you might miss it. It’s off Airline a bit, on Transcontinental Dr., right across the street from Short Stop Poboys . But I tell you what. After eating the sandwiches here, I’ll always opt for this… Continue reading Banh Mi Boys, Metairie, LA Report #180

Tony Mandina’s, Gretna, LA Report #166
I can’t remember the last time I went to a restaurant that I could absolutely rave about, but this is it! My new favorite Italian restaurant. Even if I tried I couldn’t find anything to report negatively on after this dining experience. There’s ample off street parking, with an attendant to keep an eye… Continue reading Tony Mandina’s, Gretna, LA Report #166
Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que, Denver, CO Report #163
I was in Denver, Colorado, with no car, and hungry. I saw a shopping and restaurant area a few blocks from my hotel so I headed that way on foot. I saw a bunch of fast food chain places, like Sonic, IHOP, Smashburger, etc., but I avoid chains if possible. Then I saw this… Continue reading Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que, Denver, CO Report #163
Brennan’s, New Orleans, LA Report #125
The last time I ventured into the French Quarter to dine at a fine New Orleans restaurant I had a less than good experience (Report #100), so I figured I’d give it another try.

In fact, I wasn’t even going to do a report on it UNTIL I had the bread pudding. I instantly realized I had to let the… Continue reading Boomtown Bayou Market Buffet, Harvey, LA Report #121
Mr. John’s Steak House, New Orleans, LA Report #105
Located on the historic St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, a local food critic named Tom Fitzmorris has called this the best steakhouse in New Orleans. I decided to see for myself. To begin we ordered the Braised Pork Belly as an appetizer and a cup of Turtle Soup. Before our appetizers arrived they bought… Continue reading Mr. John’s Steak House, New Orleans, LA Report #105
Zydeco’s, Belle Chasse, LA Report #104
I like this place. I’ve ordered off the menu before and the food is good, but today I came for the seafood buffet. I normally shy away from buffets because they’re more about quantity than quality. That’s not the case here. You can go to any casino buffet and find Snow crab legs, but… Continue reading Zydeco’s, Belle Chasse, LA Report #104
