Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
I’ve been browsing real estate sites for several days now and nothing sincerely piqued my interest until now. Tucked away in the Lower Garden District is this 130-year-old Victorian townhouse on Annunciation Street, an adorable little building squashed between two much larger structures. Respectfully renovated about 4 years ago, the […]
In lieu of cancelling again this year due to the pandemic, the Emeril Lagasse Foundation has decided to forgo the traditional festival format and bring Boudin, Bourbon & Beer “Back-to-the-Table,” celebrating its cause and theme at individual restaurants around the city. “While our industry is still struggling, we are excited […]
It’s hotter than “the hubs of Haiti” out there these days. The heat index is supposed to climb to 106° in New Orleans by this afternoon! While iced coffee is a fabulous way to cool down and amp up, wouldn’t coffee ice cream be even better? Yes, I believe it […]
It’s that time again, time for a listicle! Even though I generally hate them, every now and again I’ll get a hankering to write one of these “best of” lists. Why all the hate? Well, what is “the best,” really? It’s just an opinion, an opinion that changes quite frequently […]

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 […]
I know, this isn’t a recipe for the perfect keto ice cream, I have yet to discover it! I’m working on it, but I thought while I waste yet another pint of heavy whipping cream on my 5th experiment, I’d share one of my absolute favorites. This is a cake […]
