Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
One of the coolest restaurants in the French Quarter just got a whole lot cooler. Palm&Pine‘s purveyors (and chefs) Jordan and Amarys Herndon have tapped the talented Kimberly Patton-Bragg to rule the Pine Bar. Patton-Bragg, appropriately dubbed the “cocktail queen,” has reigned behind the stick at local spots like Three […]
Not long after we returned home from our evacu-vacation to Tuscaloosa, John and I tried a new spot for breakfast with not so great results. Instead of outing them here on my blog, I decided to wait for a few months to see if things ironed out. In the meantime, […]
Considering I am yet another victim of New Orleans’s infamous slumlords, I’ve found myself once again considering being a home owner. After our first attempt failed almost seven years ago, we’ve been reluctant to try again and resigned ourselves to being lifetime renters. But lo and behold, I just saw […]

Though I’ve been to Bearcat several times (and both locations), I’ve never really wanted to be a “good cat.” If you haven’t been, which you should, this California-esque restaurant appreciates many different diets and does its very best to cater to all of them. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, paleo, or […]
If you’ve been following me on social media, you know that my living situation right now is somewhat . . . tenuous. When I am not working or figuring out what to eat, I’ve been spending my days looking for another place to live, but rents are ridiculously high and […]
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 […]
