Bourbon House, New Orleans, LA Report #558

I recently heard this place mentioned so I checked out the menu online. I really liked what I saw! There were a bunch of what I might call combo dishes on the menu. More on that later. So today we decided to come down into the French Quarter and check them out. Speaking of menus,…

Fogo de Chão, New Orleans, LA Report #520

This place is one of those Brazilian Churrascarias. It’s a chain with numerous locations in Brazil and the United States. According to their website, the founders grew up on a farm in southern Brazil, where they learned the “churrasco grilling tradition”. They opened their first Fogo de Chão restaurant in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1979,…

Dian Xin, New Orleans, LA Report #517

I’ve been hearing people rave about this place for a long time. There’s only one thing that’s kept me from trying it until now. It’s located in the French Quarter, and like many native New Orleanians I hate coming into the Frech Quarter. Mainly because of the parking situation. Luckily, when I came here for…

Restaurant R’evolution, New Orleans, LA Report #502

Still dining my way through COOLinary month. When I saw the menu at this place I had to have it! I even had it planned out. 1st course short rib boudin, 2nd course wild boar pasta, or maybe the lamb shank, and 3rd course an ice cream stuffed eclair. Sadly, it wasn’t to be. More…

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…

The Court Of Two Sisters, New Orleans, LA Report #500

Report #500. When I started doing these blogs, I never imagined I’d get here. And I’m sure the few of y’all that read my work didn’t think so either, considering the rubbish I put out! But a couple things helped me get here. I keep not dying and I love eating, so the numbers keep…

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…

Crescent City Brewhouse, New Orleans, LA Report #406

I’m not going to reveal my age but I can brag that I’m old enough to have survived Hurricane Betsy. I was born in New Orleans and have been here my entire life. I’m one of the locals who doesn’t like going into the French Quarter. In fact, I can think of times in my…

Arnaud’s, New Orleans, LA Report #400

When I started doing this blog as a hobby I never thought I’d get to report #400. Actually, considering hardly anyone reads these things, it’s still just that. A hobby. But I enjoy doing it! And hopefully it brings a little joy to the 6 or 7 people who read it. Long ago I figured…
