Dreamy Weenies* (#251, 3/5/13) – 75
While the New Orleans burger-craze has been getting a lot of attention, there are also quite a few hot dog joints opening up. I believe Dat Dog is the leader as far as wieners, but Dreamy Weenies is a pretty … Continue reading
Wayfare* (#250, 2/27/13) – 79
There’s been a lot of talk about this Wayfare place, one of the latest cool spots in the revitalization of Freret Street. So I finally checked it out. And…I think I’m getting cheap. It was very good, no doubt, but … Continue reading
Charcoal* (#249, 2/25/13) – 47
I don’t like to wait long before checking out new burger joints; and this time, it took me about 11 days to get to Charcoal on Magazine Street (at intersection of Jackson). I linked into their Facebook as their official … Continue reading
Artz Bagelz* (#248, 2/17/13) – 57
Finally! I have found a decent bagel outside of NY/Connecticut. Artz Bagelz makes a pretty good bagel, though maybe I’m just thinking that because I’ve been away from good-bagel country for so long. Regardless, I had a asiago cheese bagel … Continue reading
Gott Gourmet* (#247, 2/13/13) – 77
I can’t quite figure out why I had never been to Gott Gourmet. I’m not sure I understood what it was. Or perhaps the word “gourmet” threw me off? I don’t know. But regardless, I went for the first time … Continue reading
Breads on Oak (#246, 2/11/13) – 68
I’ve been passing Breads on Oak daily for a while now, so finally decided to stop in. I originally thought it was just a bakery type place with fresh bread, but they do have a menu with lunch items., I … Continue reading
Mais Arepas (#245, 1/29/13) – 57
I’ve seen this little place on the edge of a shady part of town on Carondelet, but just one block off St. Charles. I haven’t been able to find a website for them, but will link to the Yelp page … Continue reading
La Fin du Monde* (#244, 1/24/13) – 21
My first (and likely only) stop at La Fin du Monde was doomed from the start. I had to do some errands in the lower-Magazine area and then thought, “Hey! I haven’t been to Cafe Rani in ages and they … Continue reading
St. James Cheese Company (#243, 1/21/13) – 63
Here’s a good little lunch spot located uptown – the St. James Cheese Company. I am surprised it took me so long to go here, but a solid place. I think the ideal thing would be to go here when … Continue reading
5 Fifty 5 (#242, 12/30/12) – 55
One more Sugar Bowl time meal. We ran by 5 Fifty 5 in the downtown Marriott on Canal Street. It’s an interesting place in the fact that it’s pretty good, but not sure if I’d ever go back. A victim … Continue reading
