Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
As a fat girl, I have a tendency to seek clothing and environments that make me comfortable. Although dining at a fine restaurant is always a flavor-rich thrill and pleasure beyond measurement, most of the time I enjoy eateries that are low-key with an easy-going staff and modest menu. Considering […]
If you weren’t at the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival yesterday, you were sorely missed because it sure seemed like the rest of the city was there! From the start at 11 a.m. to the finish at 7:30 p.m., folks were lined up at every available food booth on the […]
In the wee hours of the morning one Saturday long ago, my friend Casey and I had been partying all night and in desperate need of some vittles. Not really knowing yet what might be available at 2:30 am in New Orleans, I put my growling stomach in Casey’s capable […]
As you might already know, there are a couple of pizza-slingers gracing my “preferred” list like Slice and Cafe Nino, but I always am on the lookout for a contender. Ever since the road construction began on Earhart, I’ve been using Canal more frequently and I always pass by Theo’s […]
Housed in what used to be a specialty grocery store on the corner of General Pershing and Magazine Streets, La Petite Grocery has been one of those restaurants that I’ve heard people exclaim about for several years, but never got around to trying. Well, it finally happened. This past Friday, […]
While taking some food photos at home the other day, I realized two things; the light in my apartment sucks and my funky, blue dinner wear does not flatter my food. Period. So John and I decided to go for a little stroll to the Super10 around the corner to see […]

Situated on the lonely corner of Religious and Orange Streets in the Lower Garden District lays the unassuming Creole cottage that houses Le Citron Bistro. I can’t tell you how many times I have passed this restaurant on my way home from the CBD and wondered about it. How long […]
Even before my friend Meghan wrote about her eye-opening oyster crawl, I have been salivating at the mere thought of my favorite mollusk. There are tons of places in New Orleans that offer what I sought, but I couldn’t think of a better, classic-and-comfortable type of place for several dozen […]
Everyone in New Orleans has a favorite burger joint. A friend of mine loves the hand-formed burgers and sweet potato fries at Beachcorner Bar & Grill on Canal Street and another touts the overstuffed baked potatoes and heady Monsoons at Port of Call in the Quarter, but my burger of […]
Remember when you were a kid, enduring the dull pace of yet another day at school, longing for the free days of summer to begin? I find that as an adult, I don’t have very many things to look forward to. Sure, I am anxious for a week or two […]
