Dreamland BBQ, Birmingham, AL Report #564

Still eating my way across Alabama. When a friend heard I was here he told me I had to try this place for BBQ. Today for lunch I decided to take his advice! This place has an awesome wood burning pit. Here’s a link to their menu: https://dreamlandbbq.com/menu/birmingham-280/ We decided on: %% THE FOOD %%…

Yakuza House, Metairie, LA Report #554

My son is a sushi lover and today is his birthday. Last year I treated him to an outstanding sushi lunch at Kanno. This year we decided to try somewhere different. I’ve heard great things about this place, so we were hoping to have an even more outstanding lunch here today! I wasn’t exactly sure…

Moe’s Original Bar B Que, Metairie, LA Report #352

I normally eat healthy Monday through Friday night. That way I don’t balloon up to 300 pounds! But today, my dining partner said it’s a holiday, so we WILL eat bad today. Who am I to argue? We headed out for pizza at Mark Twain’s, but they were closed. Not because it’s a holiday, but…

Dickey’s Barbeque Pit, Gretna, LA Report #259

Yes, I know this is a chain.  Yes, I know the food snobs will say I’m an idiot for eating at a chain.  And yes, I could care less.  If the food is good, I’m there! I never tried this place before.  We were in the mood for BBQ.  I live on the Westbank of…

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…

Central City BBQ, New Orleans, LA Report #219

I’ve heard good things about the BBQ here, so I had to come check it out.  Nice looking place, with seating inside and out.  There’s a stage outside so I’m assuming they have live entertainment at times.  I was going to ask about that, but I was so hungry and excited about the food I…

Blue Oak BBQ, New Orleans, LA Report #147

  I love the way this place is laid out.  You walk in, grab a menu, order your food, then have a seat and they’ll bring it to your table.  You can sit inside in air conditioned comfort, or outside on a huge deck with bunch of picnic tables.  There are misting fans all over…

Big Al’s Seafood And Spirits, Harvey, LA Report #75

I received an email from Groupon with their featured deals and Big Al’s Seafood was one.  I looked at the menu and some appetizer caught my eye, so I bought the Groupon and today headed to Big Al’s. This place is right on the Westbank Expressway, but tucked back off the street behind some automotive…

VooDoo BBQ & Grill, Harvey, LA Report #23

MANHATTAN LOCATION PERMANENTLY CLOSED.  ST. CHARLES LOCATION OPEN   Pretty good BBQ at this place.  There are other locations, including one right on historic St. Charles Avenue.  I’ve been to that one too and the food is pretty consistent between these two locations. You wouldn’t expect to find good gumbo, or gumbo period at a…

LA 23 BBQ, Belle Chasse, LA Report #16

The place is called LA 23 BBQ because it’s on Louisiana Highway 23, also known as Belle Chasse Highway.  This is the highway that leads all the way down to the “toe” of the boot Louisiana is shaped like, mostly following the Mississippi River all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico.  You have…
