Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Before the summer comes to a complete close, I would like to add one more ice cream recipe to your keto arsenal that’s as tasty as it is easy. I realize it’s not blueberry season here in Louisiana (May-July), but frozen work just as well as fresh. If you like, […]
I had planned to post this meal a while ago, but you-know-what happened and it didn’t feel right. Yesterday, while scrolling though my Instagram feed, I noticed Café Degas is up and running once again, and I thought now was a good time to share my excellent brunch experience, the […]
In an effort to give back to the community in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, French Quarter restaurant Palm & Pine will be celebrating Mexican Independence Day this evening with the team from El Buho Mezcal behind the bar and food specials added to the menu like Chiles en Nogada […]

As much fun as it would be to make a joke about frozen potatoes, I just don’t feel like laughing right now. My emotions are a jumble, what with Ida hurling at us (possible Cat 4 when it makes landfall), and the Delta variant making travel oh-so unappealing. I don’t […]
One of our city’s beloved barbecue joints is expanding to another Mid-City location . . . in Alabama! Louisiana natives Philip Moseley and Ronnie Evans, proprietors of the ever-popular Blue Oak BBQ on N. Carrollton Ave., have reached an agreement with Alabama-based real estate firm RCP Companies to open a […]
When I was a teenager, I never thought I’d reach the age of 50. Hell, I didn’t think I’d turn 30! Not only did it seem oh-so far away, I had this morbid idea that I’d die young from some horrific disease or grisly car accident. Maybe it was because […]
