Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Ever since Casey and I lunched at The Green Goddess back in the beginning of August, John has had to endure endless descriptions of our oh-so stellar meal, time and time again. It got to the point where I began to feel truly guilty that I had experienced the Goddess […]
The first job I had in New Orleans was at Kelley & Abide Co. located on Euphrosine Street, a clothing distributor that had been in business since 1910. Though I thought it odd at first, working in such an industrial setting, the staff treated me like a new member of […]
There are a whole slew of reasons I am excited about Mardi Gras this year. For example, my weight loss combined with the skills of the most wonderful chiropractor in the world (Ky’s Chiropractic Clinic, 2926 Canal Street) has enabled me to walk for a minimum of ten blocks without […]
Ever since its release in November, I’ve been dying to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. Unfortunately, there was always something holding me back…if it wasn’t one thing, it was something else. At long last, John and I planned to see Harry Potter at the Elmwood Theater […]
No, I’m not talking about Blue Oyster Cult, Christopher Walken or Saturday Night Live…I’m talking about Cowbell, the newest restaurant to hit the ever-growing dining community on Oak Street. Yesterday, John and I joined our friend Lorin and her son Remy for lunch at Chef Brack May’s latest creation in […]
Usually when restaurants receive a whole lotta hype, when everyone and their brother’s second cousin are talking about it, I am hesitant to succumb to the trend. Why? Because almost every time I do, I am disappointed. I get my hopes up for something fabulous and it turns out to […]
The spicy lure of Mexican food had been swirling through my brain all week long, so it was no surprise when I decided to visit a new spot downtown in the Warehouse District, Tomasito’s Mexican Cuisine. They have only been open a few months, but I was sure that would […]
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, […]
