After a delicious lunch at La Patrona, we decided to stop here for dessert. Never been to a pie specialty shop before. I like pie. I was hoping I’d be happy. In the end, I was. You can buy any pie by the slice. Online I saw they had a Bananas Foster pie. I was… Continue reading Windowsill Pies, New Orleans, LA Report #519

The Midway Pizza, New Orleans, LA Report #504
I heard this place specializes in New Orleans style deep dish pizzas. I didn’t know such a thing existed! I know Chicago is famous for them. I’ve never really been a deep dish guy. I like thin and crispy crust. But, if that’s what this place is known for, I figured I’d give it a… Continue reading The Midway Pizza, New Orleans, LA Report #504
Mint Modern Vietnamese, New Orleans, LA Report #503
Awhile back my son invited me to get this app called Upside. It gives you cash back when you buy gas at certain gas stations and eat at certain restaurants. He wasn’t looking out for me, though. His ulterior motive was he gets a monetary kickback every time I use the app, since I used… Continue reading Mint Modern Vietnamese, New Orleans, LA Report #503

The Company Burger, New Orleans, LA Report #355
I ate at this place maybe 5 years ago, before I started doing these reports. I had the lamb burger and loved it. No idea why I haven’t come back until today, but better late than never. This place is fantastic. According to their website they grind Creekstone Farms Premium Black Angus beef for their… Continue reading The Company Burger, New Orleans, LA Report #355
Ancora, New Orleans, LA Report #354
Last Monday we tried to go to Mark Twain’s for pizza, but they were closed! I didn’t know they were closed every Monday. I’ve been wanting pizza ever since. New Orleans isn’t a pizza town like New York or Chicago. And of course not like Italy. But I heard this place had a huge pizza… Continue reading Ancora, New Orleans, LA Report #354
Acropolis On Freret, New Orleans, LA Report #345
I looked up the word “Acropolis”. It’s defined as, “A citadel or fortified part of an ancient Greek city, typically built on a hill”. I guess that would imply this is a Greek restaurant. Their website says they serve food from the Mediterranean region. After looking at the menu, it’s obviously a pretty wide swath… Continue reading Acropolis On Freret, New Orleans, LA Report #345
Bearcat Café, New Orleans, LA Report #328
We’ve tried to get into this place twice on weekends, but it’s so popular there’s always a long wait for a table. In fact, both times we went to High Hat Café, which is right on the corner just south of here, we were actually trying to come here! To finally get a table in… Continue reading Bearcat Café, New Orleans, LA Report #328
Piccola Gelateria, New Orleans, LA Report #309
We had just finished lunch at the High Hat Café, and it hit me this place is in the same block. Some gelato for dessert sounded like a great idea! They have more than gelato. They also serve crepes (sweet and savory) and flatbreads. But we decided on a small pistachio and a small… Continue reading Piccola Gelateria, New Orleans, LA Report #309
High Hat Café, New Orleans, LA Report #308
I’ve heard good things about this place and have been wanting to get here for awhile. Their website says they serve food from the Mississippi and Louisiana Delta, and catfish is the star of the menu! Unfortunately, neither of us were in the catfish mood. We decided on the tamales, a cup of gumbo, and… Continue reading High Hat Café, New Orleans, LA Report #308
