Nirvana Indian Cuisine, New Orleans, LA Report #531

I don’t travel to uptown New Orleans a lot, but this is my second time eating in an uptown restaurant this week. This place has been around since 1982. That’s a long time! That means they must be doing something right. I ate here only once, back when I was in college not too far…

Kabob House, Metairie, LA Report #505

This place is on the main drag through Metairie, so I’ve passed it hundreds of times but never considered stopping in. Looks like a fast-food type of joint, located in a little strip mall and attached to a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop. And as we all know I have a taste for the finer things…

Albasha Greek & Lebanese Café, Metairie, LA Report #286

I FINALLY GOT TO SIT DOWN AND EAT INSIDE A RESTAURANT!  First time since Red’s Chinese back on March 15th, thanks to this damn COVID-19 pandemic!  I am a happy person. Cases of the Coronavirus have decreased enough in the state of Louisiana that the Governor allowed restaurants to open for indoor seating, with a…

The Milk Bar, New Orleans, LA Report #277

I love lamb.  When this place popped up on my radar I did what I always do.  Went online and looked at the menu.  They have THREE different lamb sandwiches.  One served on a Ciabatta bun with humus, a lamb po-boy, and a Thai one with sweet chili sauce and sour cream.  THAT WAS ALL…

Little Chinatown, Kenner, LA Report #258

I belong to a food lovers group on social media, and whenever someone asks where they can get good Chinese food, this place is mentioned.  Multiple times.  I figured I’d come in and see what all the fuss was about. Before coming in I checked out the menu online.  They have a lot of dishes…

Saba, New Orleans, LA Report #208

Right on the corner of Magazine and Nashville Streets this is a beautiful restaurant.  I love the large dining room windows that let the sun in.  I understand the owner and head chef here used to be at Shaya, which is also on Magazine St., a little over a mile to the east.  So if…

Shaya, New Orleans, LA Report #164

  I’ve heard good things about this place and I see why.  Nice looking place.  They use oak in their wood burning oven, and serve their pita breads straight from it to your table so they’re so hot they burn your hands.  It doesn’t get any fresher than that!  And don’t worry about saving some…

Root Down, Denver, CO Report #72

i Traveling home and I ended up with a long layover in Denver right at my favorite time of day. Dinner time! Saw this place so I stopped and looked at their menu. Looked like their intent was to take a different spin on foods so I figured I’d give them a try. I found…
