Root* (#225, 9/25/2012)
It was a long break, but made it to No. 214 in late September. Dropped in at Root (“modern American cuisine with old world flavors”) for a bit of a business lunch. I really like the place; it’s been getting … Continue reading
Sylvain (#224, 8/22/2012)
One of the great things about New Orleans is that you can go to 210 restaurants and then hit your 213th and it’s sensational and you wonder how you haven’t been yet. Sylvain is a cool, semi-hole-in-the-wall place right near … Continue reading
Brennan’s (#223, 8/22/2012)
This was a big decision for me – one of the most well-known restaurants in town and I ate there, but does it count? I only had breakfast here which always feels off to me. It seems like I should … Continue reading
Cosimo’s (#222, 8/15/2012)
This is a place I probably never would have gone if not for my Groupon addiction. But it’s not too bad. It’s in a shady neighborhood on Burgundy Street (pronounced bur-GUN-dee). I guess it’s a dive, though not as much … Continue reading
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
Magasin* (#217, 6/12/2012)
The word on the street is that Magasin has outstanding Vietnamese food. One issue is that I don’t really like Vietnamese all that much – or maybe just haven’t explored it enough to come up with the things that I … Continue reading
Bouligny Tavern (#216, 6/8/2012)
An outstanding stop for happy hour or for a good range of appetizers. We had a couple of beers at Le Bon Temps and decided to drop in here for food and ended up ordering a wide-range of appetizers, shrimp, … Continue reading
