Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Gianna, the Italian arm of Link Restaurant Group, has just announced they’re serving brunch Saturdays and Sunday from 11am – 3pm! And this isn’t your typical brunch fare . . . self-touted as “rustic Italian,” the new menu features semolina pancakes with Louisiana strawberries and lemon mascarpone, lamb sausage gravy […]
About four years ago, an inventive renovation combined a cluster of warehouses on Magazine Street into a fascinating hotel named after an equally fascinating woman, Eliza Jane. Inside this unique space, the developers (a.k.a. HRI Properties) also launched Couvant, a casual French brasserie with Mississippi-born chef Brad McDonald at the […]
If y’all know anything about me it’s that breakfast is totally my jam . . . and biscuits . . . and bacon, baby. I even adore international versions of the morning meal; Persian lavash-wrapped feta with fresh herbs and hot, cardamom and rose petal-laced tea; a Full English loaded […]
While undergoing my weekly self-flagellation, I was narrowing down which listing I wanted to share with you and inadvertently wound up with two options in roughly the same price bracket. Both locations are attractive in their own way, and I know which I would choose, but I am curious about […]
When I was a teenager hanging out at the mall, I discovered a dish from a vendor called Greek Island Delights in the food court called (you guessed it!) spanakopita. If you’ve had it, you know it’s essentially a feta and spinach quiche wrapped in flaky, buttery layers of phyllo […]
I’m all for long, leisurely lunches that span several courses and hours, but more often than not, a simpler lunch totally hits the spot. Just last week, I had a wonderful lunch at Pho Bang (over here on the Westbank Expressway, of course) with a new friend, and I can’t […]

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 […]
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.
