Don Jose’s Grill, Kenner, LA Report #546

This place is located at the corner of a major intersection in Kenner. Catty-cornered from it is a great Italian place called the Brick Oven Cafe. I’ve been there several times, and every time I went I looked at this place thinking, “I’ve got to try that Mexican joint one day”. Besides that, I’ve driven…

The Little Easy, New Orleans, LA Report #544

I heard this place had good pressed poboys. I checked out their menu online and saw this: Tamales? Cheese curds? And look at those crawfish nachos! I had to get in here! My greediness blinded me to the fact that time marches on and menus change. We got here and none of that was on…

The Reef, Biloxi, MS Report #512

This was my final stop on my little Mississippi Gulf Coast getaway. When I first looked at this place I thought, “Wow, this joint is huge”! But it’s really not as big as it looks. At first you think it’s three stories, but the first floor is nothing but space. That’s reserved for the storm…

Las Cazuelas, Harvey, LA Report #462

We had some business to take care of in Harvey today, and as happens pretty often, I got hungry. STARVING in fact! I wasn’t far a baked potato joint called The Spud Spot, and one of their huge, seafood stuffed potatoes sounded like a great idea. So we headed on over. Unfortunately, there was a…

Port Orleans Brewing Co., New Orleans, LA Report #391

I’m a long time die hard Saints fan. For anyone who doesn’t know, the Saints are our National Football League team here in New Orleans. And one of their former players, named Zach Strief, is part owner of this place. He was a great player and a great guy, so I’ve been wanting to patronize…

Table & Tap 5216, Metairie, LA Report #351

I ended up in a conversation about restaurant appetizers with a friend on social media who knows good food. She mentioned this place served avocado fries which she described as, “da bomb”! That’s means they’re very good for all you people that aren’t as hip as me. That was all I needed to hear. Ever…

Santa Fe, New Orleans, LA Report #336

You ever walk down the sidewalk and think, “I’d like to sit out here and eat in that little strip of grass (or dirt) between the sidewalk and the street”? Well, now’s your chance to do it! If you come to Santa Fe. This place is located on one of the prettiest streets in the…

KY’s Olde Towne Bicycle Shop, Slidell, LA Report #333

The city of Slidell is located across the eastern side of Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. This place is in a section of the city referred to as “Olde Towne”. Quaint little area. And the building this restaurant is located in has a long history, dating back to 1902! It’s at the bottom of the…

Metro Cafe Diner, Stone Mountain, GA Report #234

Ok, this should be my last out of town report on this road trip.  I’m heading back to New Orleans tomorrow.  I say “should be”, because no telling where I may stop and eat on the way home. We were staying at Stone Mountain Park and decided to leave the park for dinner.  This place…

El Paso Mexican Grill, New Orleans, LA Report #9

This place is in a building that used to be a Bennigan’s a LONG time ago.   I’m not sure Bennigan’s still exist anywhere, which has nothing to do with this report so I don’t really care. Sometimes I feel that once you’ve been to one Mexican restaurant (American style Mexican food that is, not…
