Perino’s Boiling Pot, Harvey, LA Report #552

This place is located down in Harvey, Louisiana. I pass this way pretty often and have been wanting to try it for some time. It’s just such a nice-looking place from the outside it kind of calls to you! It’s a nice-looking place inside too. I’ve dined in countless Louisiana restaurants, and this is the…

Schnell’s, Marrero, LA Report #550

I was surfing the web in search of new and potentially fantastic restaurants to try, and I came upon this place. Looking at their menu I noticed the last picture above. The Sunday daily special. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Read it carefully. A choice of either baked, stewed or fried chicken, with…

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…

Today’s Ketch Seafood, Chalmette, LA Report #540

Yesterday for lunch we had fried seafood on the brain, so we headed to Deanie’s seafood in Bucktown. We ended up getting sidetracked and having an excellent lunch at Station 6 instead. Today we decided to scratch that fried seafood itch. This place is located down in St. Bernard Parish. I’ve had several people tell…

Ben’s Pizza, Arabi, LA Report #527

One reason Louisiana is known as a sportsman’s paradise is because we’ve got some of the best fishing in the world. From right here in St. Bernard Parish you can do everything from freshwater perch jerking to deep sea tuna fishing. I love fishing but hadn’t been in a long time. I decided to take…

Charles Seafoods, Harahan, LA Report #521

I’ve driven past this place for years, and for some reason it caught my eye. I thought it looked like the kind of hole in the wall neighborhood joint where you get great food. So I kept saying one day I’d have to stop and try them out. Then on September 17th, I was in…

The Original Fiorellas’ Cafe, New Orleans, LA Report #516

This area of New Orleans has had a few restaurants as long as I can remember. I used to eat at all of them when I lived and worked near here. But 25 years ago, I moved to the Westbank of New Orleans, so I hardly get to this area anymore. But I’ve heard several…

Ted’s Frostop, New Orleans, LA Report #487

This place is affiliated with the national chain of Frostop restaurants, started in 1926 in Columbus, Ohio. There’s also one in Metairie (Report #376), which is just named “Frostop”. This one is named Ted’s Frostop, so I guess they’re all independently owned and operated. The menu here is also different, so I gave this one…

Chateau Orleans Po-Boys, Marrero, LA Report #485

I was in the mood for a shrimp po-boy. I live on the WestBank of New Orleans, and I knew traffic crossing the bridge to the EastBank would be terrible, so I started searching for a place to get one on my side of the river. I discovered this place. The name caught my eye,…

Segnette Landing Restaurant, Westwego, LA Report #480

Besides being an expert eater, I also happen to be a pretty good cook. I’m cooking a chicken dish that also calls for shrimp. About the only time I drive down to Westwego is to go to this place we call the shrimp lot. It’s a big parking lot with seafood vendors on both sides.…
