The 70123, Harahan, LA Report #547

I guess this place is called The 70123 because that’s the zip code where it’s located, in Harahan, La. Funny thing about that is I used to live in the 70122 zip code, which is in New Orleans, and nowhere close to the 70123 zip code! Whoever numbered the zip codes for the post office…

Restaurant R’evolution, New Orleans, LA Report #502

Still dining my way through COOLinary month. When I saw the menu at this place I had to have it! I even had it planned out. 1st course short rib boudin, 2nd course wild boar pasta, or maybe the lamb shank, and 3rd course an ice cream stuffed eclair. Sadly, it wasn’t to be. More…

Restaurant Cote, Slidell, LA Report #488

I spent the weekend in Slidell to attend some job training. Thanks to a friend who lives nearby, I discovered this little strip of restaurants in Olde Towne Slidell some time ago. I’ve tried KY’s Olde Towne Bicycle Shop and Deanasco, and enjoyed them both, so I was looking forward to trying this place. Their…

Randazzo’s Family Restaurant, Metairie, LA Report #483

A few nights ago I did something I hadn’t done in years. Looked at the restaurant section in Groupon. I used to do it pretty often to get ideas on new places to try, plus it saves you some money. Nothing wrong with that! There was a deal in there for this place. I bought…

The Crazy Italian, New Orleans, LA Report #475

The last time I was in this place it was Chap’s Chicken, but they ended up moving to Metairie. I liked the fact this space is attached to a convenience store. Back when it was Chap’s, if there was anything you wanted to go with your meal that the restaurant didn’t offer, like beer, hard…

II Tony’s Restaurant, New Orleans, LA Report #460

There are a bunch of restaurants in this little area right on Lake Pontchartrain. The ones I’ve reported on are Felix’s, Lakeview Harbor, Landry’s, Ming’s, Russel’s Marina Grill, Sala and The Blue Crab. I ate at this place a long time ago. So long ago, I forgot if I liked it or not! Tonight, we…

Deanasco, Slidell, LA Report #448

Today I crossed Lake Pontchartrain to take care of some business in the beautiful city of Slidell. And I’m glad I did, because I got to eat here! Cozy little place with some very friendly folks. We decided on: ************ THE FOOD ************ The Debris Fries were great! Hot, crisp fries covered with a delicious…

Mr. Ed’s Seafood & Italian, Metairie, LA Report #444

Normally when I go to restaurants that have more than one location, I don’t do a separate report for each location. I just add to the original report I did on the first one I went to. Well, when I walked into this Mr. Ed’s I asked them if they were affiliated with the one…

Augie’s Restaurant, Harahan, LA Report #440

We had no intention of stopping at here for lunch. We were driving along headed to do some Christmas shopping, saw this place, realized we were hungry, so we stopped in. Beautiful place! They also do special events such as weddings. We decided on: %%%%% THE FOOD %%%%% The seafood gumbo was delicious. Nice consistency,…

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano, Ridgeland, MS Report #409

Well, I’m still exiled in the Jackson, Mississippi area after Hurricane Ida hit New Orleans. Funny thing is if you notice the cloudy, rainy skies in the first two pictures above, that’s because now Tropical Storm Ida is here! Received a text from “NOLA Ready”, which puts out information about the city. They advised if…
