Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Back in May, I wrote an article for my $20 & Under column in Where Y’at Magazine on pizza. It’s been a lot easier to get pizza by the slice and/or personal pies lately and I wanted to cover a bunch of newcomers, including NOLA Pizza Co., a pizzeria located […]
After 2+ years eating low carb, you’d think I’d learned my lesson. I know that if I cheat, I have to do it small. One meal of extra carbs won’t kill me, if those carbs are something like bread, pasta or potatoes. But, if I add too much sugar to […]
Seeing as I adore all of the restaurant concepts created by LeBlanc + Smith, it took longer than I had hoped for me to finally try The Chloe. The boutique hotel, restaurant, and bar, located in a 19th century St. Charles Avenue mansion, opened in October of 2020, but every […]
Definitely stepped outside the low-carb zone this Saturday when I visited the brand new cream puff shop Beard Papa’s. It was their first day in town and even though the weather was hotter than hot, there was still quite a line when we walked in the door. I think they […]

Almost a year to the day after launching their pop-up, Bub’s Burgers threw open its own doors last week right next to the Banks Street Bar. That little spot has seen many a business roll through over the past decade. Off the top of my head, there was a pizza […]
Surely you aren’t surprised I’m talking tacos again? John is overjoyed by my recent need to cover tacos. I was hoping my cornucopia of taco stand coverage would dampen his desire, but no luck. Not too long ago, we hit up another Bywater stand, Rosalita’s Backyard Tacos. Originally a Rosalie […]
The mystery folks behind Secret Birria (more tacos!) on Octavia Street have launched a breakfast restaurant in the same space! On Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm, Secret Birria (which is on for an evening gig) becomes a Hairy Dog. Hairy Dog, @hairydognola on Instagram, touts “food for hungry […]
Beard Papa’s, a world-famous cream puff shop that began in Japan, is opening soon in New Orleans! The bakery will be located at 4712 Magazine Street, just a block away from La Boulangerie. Franchise or no, these are desserts to die for, whether it’s a cream puff, éclair or profiterole. […]
