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…

The Parish Diner, Chalmette, LA Report #574

Here’s a rare, middle of the week restaurant report provided AT NO EXTRA CHARGE! We had some business to take care of down in St. Bernard Parish today, so we stopped in here for breakfast. Nice looking joint. You can order the entire menu at any time of day. I noticed brisket in several different…

Two Chicks Café, New Orleans, LA Report #570

I first heard about this place last year. I checked out the menu online, liked what I saw, and put it on my ever-growing list of places I wanted to try. January 22nd of this year we decided to come in. When we arrived, there was a line out the door and down the block.…

Sunny Side Up Restaurant, Harahan, LA Report #567

I had no intention of coming here for breakfast nor did I even know this place existed. We intended to eat breakfast at our favorite Waffle House in Metairie, LA., but it was packed. Yes, I love Waffle House. We then tried to go to Dot’s Diner. Also packed. We headed to a different Waffle…

The Original Pancake House, Birmingham, AL Report #563

Day 2 of dining my way across Birmingham, Alabama. I love pancakes. Any place that’s been making them since 1953 and without going out of business must be doing something right! And when I checked the menu online and saw you could get pancakes with real BACON in them, I knew I had 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…

Schnell’s, Marrero, LA Report #550

I was surfing the web in search of new and potentially fantastic restaurants to try, and I came upon this place. Looking at their menu I noticed the last picture above. The Sunday daily special. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Read it carefully. A choice of either baked, stewed or fried chicken, with…

Westbank Grill, Westwego, LA Report #543

I’ve been eyeballing this joint for some time. There’s a place in Westwego we call The Shrimp Lot. It’s like an open air seafood flea market. If I’m making a big pot of gumbo, or something else where I need a bunch of shrimp, I take the drive down there to buy them. You can’t…

Evangeline, New Orleans, LA Report #495

I was perusing the internet searching new restaurants to try, and this place caught my eye. Their website claims they have, “The French Quarter’s Best Cajun Cuisine”. Man, that’s quite a claim! So I had to do something I don’t do that often. Slide down into the bowels of the French Quarter and check them…

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…
