Guy’s Po-Boys (#221, 8/4/12)
Quite a blow when you have a shrimp po-boy from Crabby Jack’s on your mind, then you find out they’re closed for vacation. Damn. I decided I was getting a shrimp po-boy no matter what. The wait at Mahony’s was … Continue reading
Flaming Torch* (#220, 7/25/12)
I’ve always heard the Flaming Torch is a big-time restaurant, but have never been wowed by the menu so it took me a while to get there. It was actually very good; I went simple with the filet after opening … Continue reading
Tamarind* (#219, 7/25/2012)
Made my first visit to Tamarind (in the Hotel Modern on Lee Circle) and just dropped in for lunch. Hopefully they’re not relying on the lunch crowd for making money, because there were two of us there until almost one, … Continue reading

Domelisa’s (#214, 5/30/2012)
Many say this is the best shrimp po-boy in town, but sorry, it doesn’t come close to Crabby Jack’s. I actually had a half shrimp, half oyster po-boy, which was good, but not sensational. The place is a divy counter-top … Continue reading
Canal Street Bistro* (#212, 4/12/2012)
DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ONLY HAVE A ONE-HOUR LUNCH BREAK! We waited forever for our food for no good reason; he said they had a big group and it’s a small place. Then the guy waiting on us … Continue reading
