Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Chef/owner Than “Lin” Regules and her husband Alex, the masterminds behind the Burmese and Malaysian-food stall Laksa NOLA, is now doubling your dining pleasure with the launch of Lin Sushi & Poke at St. Roch Market. “The inspiration behind these dishes comes from our experiences cooking throughout Asia. We love […]
I’m pretty sure I’ve admitted this before, but I have been a bad, bad food writer. If I truly wanted to explore all the eats in New Orleans, I would’ve spent a lot more time in her burbs; Metairie, Kenner, Arabi, Chalmette, and yes, everything over here on the Westbank […]
Since I moved, I must admit I have been more focused on furnishing my new digs (it’s huge for us!) than looking at homes for sale, but I do still get around to it from time to time. It’s interesting to me that the more I browse, the more I […]
Around the new year, there’s always a lot of listicles floating about, a glut of My Year in Review or Best Eats of 2021. Brett Andersen’s annual list of Most Awesome Places Where I Stuffed My Face in New Orleans-type articles always come to mind. Are these fun? Do y’all […]
It’s like a war cry shouted by nutritionists, dietitians, doctors and mothers all around the world. Eat your greens! You know they’re right. You know that eating dark, leafy greens reduces the risk of heart disease, blood clots, obesity, and high blood pressure. You also know they’re packed with minerals […]
Over the past couple of months, I have come to love living in Algiers Point. The people are extremely friendly, and in a greater degree than the rest of the city, I feel like everyone in this neighborhood knows everyone else in this neighborhood, so much so that it rivals […]
Chef and restaurateur Eric Cook breathes new life into a historic, French Quarter space with the launch of Saint John, a Lower Decatur Street restaurant offering “haute Creole” cuisine. Only a few months ago, local chef and native New Orleanian Eric Cook announced the opening of his second restaurant Saint […]
Since my whole life is on da Point these days, I thought I’d take a peek at homes for sale in the neighborhood. Now, I didn’t expect to find much considering Algiers Point is a tiny area to peruse, but I did find something I thought was interesting. If there’s […]
Please allow me to play a little catch-up, so I can relate our massive pig-out session a few weeks ago at Plume Algiers. Right before we started seriously packing, we got the keys to our new digs and wanted to go check it out and do a few measurements to […]
The Vojkovich family has been feeding prime USDA steaks, served “sizzling in butter,” to over four generations of New Orleanians. The two-story building with art deco accents on the corner of St. Phillip and N. Broad has long been a landmark on the edge of Bayou St. John. Almost 90 […]
A deceptively simple dish, the oyster pan roast is equally at home on your kitchen counter or the most heavily-white linened table at a high-end restaurant. Though its origins are far to the northeast in New York City, many local chefs have taken this cozy, winter-time dish and made it […]
John and I began dating exclusively way back in 2005, and though we started living together a year later, it wasn’t until 2014 that we started to celebrate Christmas. Neither of us is religious, but the holiday season was a big deal in my family. Putting up the tree and […]
