Miss Shirley’s, New Orleans, LA Report #584

I’ve been in this building before. I dined here over 5 years ago. Back then it was also a Chinese restaurant named Jung’s Golden Dragon II. I ate there once and that was enough. It was terrible. I’m not surprised it closed down. Well, the golden dragon is still on the building, but now it’s…

Empanola, New Orleans, LA Report #513

This place specializes in empanadas. I like empanadas. If you want a good one, it makes sense to come to a place where that’s all they do! The menu is split into three different types of empanadas. Latin, NOLA, and Veggie. I wanted to try a beef one, of course a New Orleanian has to…

Slim Goodies Diner, New Orleans, LA Report #288

Thanks to the Coronavirus this is my first time dining INSIDE of a New Orleans restaurant since a lunch at Red’s Chinese on March 15th (which was delicious by the way).  Restaurants here were allowed to open up for dine in yesterday. Some people have been concerned about the so called “contact tracing” the media…

Joey K’s, New Orleans, LA Report #267

If you want plain and simple, no frills, delicious New Orleans food, this is the place for you!  I haven’t been here in years.  This is the kind of place when you get back, you wonder why you stayed away so long! We decided on: And the food! Notice the rustic table.  I like that!…

The Rum House, New Orleans, LA Report #255

I actually came to Magazine St. today for breakfast, but the restaurant I was trying to go to had a 30 minute wait for a table.  Luckily, I’m lazy, and I slept so late it was lunch time!  So I came in here for lunch. I’ve heard people talk about how good the tacos were…

The Vintage, New Orleans, LA Report #239

I heard about this place because of their beignets.  But they have other food too, so we decided to come here for dinner.  Seems this place is a bar first, and a restaurant second.  I could be wrong about that, but the drink menu is longer than the food menu.  I’m not a drinker, but…

Little Korea BBQ, New Orleans, LA Report #207

I loved having Japanese BBQ at Gyu-Kaku, so I figured I’d give the Korean version a try.  I’ve actually never had Korean food.  A guy I used to work with, whose mother is Korean, recommended this place. If you want to grill your own food you can sit at a grill table, but you may…

Wakin’ Bakin’, New Orleans, LA Report #204

Sometimes it’s hard to find a good, Sunday morning breakfast place that’s not packed. I think I found one! Nice variety on the menu, and in true New Orleans style, a breakfast drink menu so you can start your Sunday with a buzz! We decided on: And the food: My dining partner had the Breakfast…

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,…

Warbucks, New Orleans, LA Report #174

********** PERMANENTLY CLOSED  ********** Glad I found this place.  The food is great!  We started off with the Laquered Pork Belly and Shrimp Rings. The Laquered Pork Belly was honestly one of the best things I have EVER eaten!  Delicious, tender pork belly wrapped in lettuce leave with very thinly sliced peppers (it’s not too…
