Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
I met someone and I think I’m in love. He’s sweet, accommodating, relaxed yet stylish and extremely tasty as I was fortunate enough to discover last Friday afternoon. My friend Anne was there, too and we both enjoyed what he had to offer . . . I’m pretty sure anyone […]
When I started writing this blog, I promised myself I would pick a new restaurant to feature every week, knowing that with over 800 eateries in the Greater New Orleans Area it would take me a very long time to run out of food blogging fodder. Unfortunately, I did not […]
I missed out on Marisol, was ill when he made Persian food at Bacchanal and just never seemed to make it down to Mimi’s of River Ridge, but I was determined to finally get a taste of Chef Pete Vazquez’s culinary magic when I heard about his new pop-up in […]
No, this post has nothing to do with working out or how to go about making your backside look more appealing. Actually, it is quite the opposite. It’s about how last week I took my butt to The Company Burger on Freret Street, placed it next to John’s butt and […]
After John and I stuffed ourselves silly with Chinese food at Jung’s Golden Dragon last week, I took his hand and literally dragged him about two-doors down the block to enjoy a delicious, sweet dainty from Sucré. Okay, it wasn’t a dainty, it was a sundae! Specifically, it was a […]
Growing up in the Bay Area did not make me an expert on Chinese food, but I am very familiar with different aspects of the cuisine. As a matter of fact, my Mom’s best friend and neighbor was from Hong Kong, so steamed pork buns and red envelopes were as […]
I feel ashamed, appalled and just plain mortified at my supreme sloth and I can’t hold my head up in public until I admit to my stellar level of laziness, throw this burden from my chest and heave a humongous sigh of relief. We drove to Trū Burger. Indeedy! A friend […]
After my birthday blowout last week, we desperately needed to tone it down a bit financially. Thankfully, I was hankering for a relaxed, neighborhood vibe with home cooked meals and a very casual atmosphere and suddenly I remembered that I still hadn’t tried Liuzza’s Restaurant & Bar. A long-standing, local […]
Maybe it was because leaving behind another decade of my life was a little unsettling…okay, a lot unsettling, but I could not choose where I wanted to eat for my birthday on Saturday. I asked folks on Facebook, put up a post on a local food forum and received numerous, […]
Everyone knows by now that I am not one for fancy dress. I will make a sincere effort at not looking slovenly, but I do not own any high-heeled shoes and, since I have not worn it for over a decade, I am pretty sure I have completely forgotten how […]
On Saturday John and I got into our car, hungry and ready to head to Elizabeth’s for brunch, when I turned the ignition only to hear a nasty grinding noise of metal against metal. It seemed that our sickly car finally taken its last breath. What were we to do? […]
About a month ago, I got a press release announcing “Start Your Dinner at Noon” promotion at Le Meritage and I screamed aloud in ecstasy. John turned away from his computer to ask what the hell was wrong with me and when he spotted the new lunch prix fixe menu open […]
