The last time I was in Galveston, TX, was maybe 25 years ago. The extent of the fine dining I did here back then was at a place called Taco Cabana. Exquisite tacos and an outstanding salsa bar. Decided to try to up my game a little so I consulted a Texas friend before making… Continue reading Gaido’s, Galveston, TX Report #471

Crown Point, Louisiana, is a very short ride from New Orleans. I live on the Westbank of New Orleans and it only took us about 20 minutes to get here. It’s well worth the drive.
