Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Not long after we returned home from our evacu-vacation to Tuscaloosa, John and I tried a new spot for breakfast with not so great results. Instead of outing them here on my blog, I decided to wait for a few months to see if things ironed out. In the meantime, […]
Though I’ve been to Bearcat several times (and both locations), I’ve never really wanted to be a “good cat.” If you haven’t been, which you should, this California-esque restaurant appreciates many different diets and does its very best to cater to all of them. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, paleo, or […]
Before the summer comes to a complete close, I would like to add one more ice cream recipe to your keto arsenal that’s as tasty as it is easy. I realize it’s not blueberry season here in Louisiana (May-July), but frozen work just as well as fresh. If you like, […]
In an effort to give back to the community in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, French Quarter restaurant Palm & Pine will be celebrating Mexican Independence Day this evening with the team from El Buho Mezcal behind the bar and food specials added to the menu like Chiles en Nogada […]

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 […]
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. […]
Everything is coming up veggies these days, and for good reason! There’s only a few all vegan and/or vegetarian restaurants available in New Orleans, and quite a bit more than a few willing to eat it. Enter chefs Alex Davis and Jas, the green goddesses behind St. Roch Market’s latest […]
