Pitt Grill, New Boston, TX Report #434

Still on my road trip, driving from New Orleans to an undisclosed location in Oklahoma. We got hungry. So as I’m driving I’m looking for anything that’s not a fast food chain, but for miles and miles that was all I saw. I was starving, and almost ready to give in and stop at a…

Perks Coffee & Cafe, Metairie, LA Report #424

We’re always looking for a new Sunday morning breakfast spot. Actually, since I sleep until 10:00 AM on Sundays, I actually should say “brunch” spot. We’re always in the mood for breakfast but end up not eating it until almost noon! That was the case when we decided to try this place today. When I…

Elizabeth’s, New Orleans, LA Report #369

I’ve been wanting to try this place for some time. We actually ended up in this neighborhood trying to eat at a different restaurant, but it was closed. According to Google it opened at noon, but they really opened at 4:00 PM. Never trust Google. I should have known better. Nice looking little place with…

Waffles On Maple, Metairie, LA Report #349

This place is called Waffles on Maple because it’s original location was on Maple St., in Uptown New Orleans. I went to that location once years ago, and the place was tiny. I mean so tiny I had to walk sideways past other customers to get through it. That location is permanently closed now. The…

Fullblast Brunch, New Orleans, LA Report #341

Back in Report #334, I explained how my rewards credit card gives me points for dining at certain restaurants. This one was on the list. Being located on a back street in a residential area, that’s the only way I would have found out about it! Nice looking little place. You can tell a lot…

Slim Goodies Diner, New Orleans, LA Report #288

Thanks to the Coronavirus this is my first time dining INSIDE of a New Orleans restaurant since a lunch at Red’s Chinese on March 15th (which was delicious by the way).  Restaurants here were allowed to open up for dine in yesterday. Some people have been concerned about the so called “contact tracing” the media…

Twisted Waffles, New Orleans, LA Report #225

Normally Sunday breakfast for me consist of some kind of egg dish, grits and pancakes.  Always pancakes.  Pancakes, pancakes and more pancakes.  But today, I decided to do something crazy.  Switch to waffles!  You only live once. This place has only been open for about three months but I’ve already heard good things about it. …

Riccobono’s Peppermill, Metairie, LA Report #50

I’ve only been to this place for breakfast and that’s a good reason to come here.  Small bar, and when you see it packed with people drinking at 9:00 AM, you know you’re in New Orleans.  Or at least the metro area.  Also notice all the starters on the menu are alcoholic drinks. On prior…
