Is it just me, or does it seem like bars always have the best burgers? Why is that? It seems like if I owned a business whose main purpose was to get customers as liquored up as possible, I wouldn’t worry that much about the food. But they do. At least here in New Orleans.… Continue reading Down The Hatch, New Orleans, LA Report #559

Lilly’s Café, New Orleans, LA Report #464
I’ve been wanting to try this place for a good while. Some time ago someone told me they made a shrimp pho. I love pho, but had never seen a shrimp one in any of the Vietnamese restaurants I’d been to. Today we finally made it in. Small, cozy little place, with a sign in… Continue reading Lilly’s Café, New Orleans, LA Report #464

Poseidon, New Orleans, LA Report #353
Sushi for lunch today! This place is located on the bottom floor of a Condo/Apartment building in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans. Honestly, until today I never even knew it was in there.

Annunciation, New Orleans, LA Report #343
A few reports ago I mentioned a credit card I had, attached to a large hotel chain, was giving me reward points for dining at certain restaurants.

Being kind of hidden away in what I thought would have been the CBD/Warehouse… Continue reading Annunciation, New Orleans, LA Report #343

Lula Restaurant Distillery, New Orleans, LA Report #281
I’ll be so glad when this Coranavirus has run it’s course and I can go sit down in a restaurant again! Until then, restaurants need our support more than ever. And of course, I still need to eat! This place is right on St. Charles Ave., but for some reason I’ve never noticed it. … Continue reading Lula Restaurant Distillery, New Orleans, LA Report #281

***** PERMANENTLY CLOSED ***** This place is right next door to Fat Boy Pantry, where I tried my first lobster po-boy. And Surrey’s Café & Juice Bar, which I absolutely love, is in the next block.

Gris-Gris, New Orleans, LA Report #232
If you were born and raised in New Orleans, like me, you know what Gris-Gris means. If you don’t, I was nice enough to include the definition for you. No need to thank me. But here it can also mean great food, because everything we had was fantastic. If you like the great outdoors, they… Continue reading Gris-Gris, New Orleans, LA Report #232
