My #3 child is in college and waiting tables at the Chili’s on Manhattan. She rarely talks about her work, but came home excited about the fundraiser that they are doing this month to help out St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Signs of the event are all over in Chili’s. They have been having kids…
There have been sushi spots popping up all over the West Bank and I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t tried them all. One place that I go back to time and time again is Cafe Zen, right on the corner of Belle Chasse Highway and Wall Blvd. on the edge of Terrytown….
It’s pretty hard to impress a New Orleans native with boiled seafood. After all, we learn to peel crawfish and shrimp and pick crabs as soon as we are big enough to sit at the table – mostly because our parents quickly got tired of doing it for us. So while I had heard good…
Way back in my previous life as a boring banker working in Elmwood, I had a work buddy that I ate lunch with almost every day. We had a schedule of where we would eat each day of the week (it is New Orleans – food is important!). Usually, it was a local hole in…
UPDATE: AS OF APRIL, 2010 THE MONROE STREET CAFE IS CLOSED. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH CHEF ERNIE AND WE WISH HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY AND A RETURN TO THE KITCHEN. One of the things I adore about the West Bank is that the people who live here love to eat as much as I do….
If you aren’t paying attention while driving down Belle Chasse Highway, you just might miss O’Briens Grille due to it’s location next door to Mudbug’s Storage and behind the Drive Side Daiquiri Shop. It would certainly be a shame, because I’ve had two recent opportunities to eat there and was blown away. This is definitely…
While driving my youngest to and from school, I’ve been watching folks go in and out of the Sahara Cafe for several weeks, preparing for the launch of this new restaurant on the corner of Lapalco Blvd. and Realty Dr. Finally, they are open for business, serving traditional Middle Eastern food in Gretna. I met…
THE ROYAL PALM RESTAURANT IS NOW CLOSED FOR DINING, BUT OPEN FOR WEDDINGS AND EVENTS *********************************************************************************************************************************** Part of the New Orleans culture is the food. Not just any old food, but good enough to slap your mama food. Food that makes you tell your friends “Hey, you have to go eat at ____”. Happily, I’ve…
UPDATE: AS OF JULY 2011, ALLIGATOR PEAR IS CLOSED I’ve been meaning to get to the new Alligator Pear restaurant in Harvey LA for the longest time, and last week I finally made it. If I was putting it off for any reason, I don’t know why – I loved it! Just a little…
I found myself between appointments today – not enough time to head back to the office but enough that heading to the next property meant sitting in the car waiting…and waiting. Instead, I stopped in at Parrot Pete’s for an afternoon snack. After all, they do have a very nice selection of sandwiches and salads…
