Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Before you even think it, I know this place would likely require a lot of work to get it as shiny as it could be, but once again, there’s so much potential! Located less than a block from Mona’s, this Mid-City, two-story Craftsman-like double is nothing if not hyphenated. All […]
Definitely stepped outside the low-carb zone this Saturday when I visited the brand new cream puff shop Beard Papa’s. It was their first day in town and even though the weather was hotter than hot, there was still quite a line when we walked in the door. I think they […]
Though I know my title will likely conjure images of the character Sipsey in the film Fried Green Tomatoes, but I am in no way implying the meat offered at Secret Birria is people. But it is, in fact, all about the sauce, or I should say the consommé. As […]
Recently, I bought one of those big bags of summer squash and zucchini at Costco, and after making ratatouille (yet again!) I still had a bunch of squash left over. While I always enjoy simply sautéing chopped onion and squash in butter, I thought I would try something a little […]
Judging for the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience‘s Culinary Awards has all kinds of perks. I get to meet new chefs, taste incredible food, and spend a whole day with people as food-obsessed as I am. But one of the best parts is celebrating the winners! Three cheers and […]
It’s all too easy to find a gorgeous mansion on Realtor.com to ooh and aah about on my blog, there are so many! But today I felt like a challenge. I wanted to find a house in my price range that I could get excited about. Lo and behold, after […]
It could be the oppressive heat or because lemons are so bright and fresh tasting or because this recipe is so damned easy (considering the result), but I think I have found my new favorite chia pudding. I’ve never been a huge fan of lemon desserts, but perhaps my palate […]
Almost a year to the day after launching their pop-up, Bub’s Burgers threw open its own doors last week right next to the Banks Street Bar. That little spot has seen many a business roll through over the past decade. Off the top of my head, there was a pizza […]
Over the past several years, the building on the corner of Gov. Nichols with its multi-paned windows and divey, diner-like vibe has gone through several incarnations, from the late night, pizza-slinging Angeli to hamburger joints Lee’s and Big Mouth. But now there’s something completely different. . . Just this past […]
Surely you aren’t surprised I’m talking tacos again? John is overjoyed by my recent need to cover tacos. I was hoping my cornucopia of taco stand coverage would dampen his desire, but no luck. Not too long ago, we hit up another Bywater stand, Rosalita’s Backyard Tacos. Originally a Rosalie […]
I know, I know, you can’t have bread on keto, but you can have biscuits! What is life if you don’t have anything upon which to slather irresponsible amounts of butter? Anyhow, early on in my keto adventures, I discovered this recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I made a few […]
Beard Papa’s, a world-famous cream puff shop that began in Japan, is opening soon in New Orleans! The bakery will be located at 4712 Magazine Street, just a block away from La Boulangerie. Franchise or no, these are desserts to die for, whether it’s a cream puff, éclair or profiterole. […]
