Company Burger (#171, 8/22/2011)
The latest (at the time) in a line of burger joints, I have to say, this is probably the best of the bunch. Good, juicy burger with outstanding bread (the key to any good burger). The sweet potato fries were … Continue reading
Jamila’s (#170, 8/20/2011)
The only Tunisian restaurant in New Orleans (supposedly, I believe most anything I read). I’m not really a big fan of Mediterranean food (or lamb), so wasn’t bowled over by this place, but my friends all liked everything a lot. … Continue reading
Zoe Bistro* (#169, 8/18/2011)
As I’ve said, always a struggle when I just have breakfast at a “real” restaurant, but I’ve decided to count them anyway. This is the restaurant at the W on Poydras Street. I had an omelet which was solid, but … Continue reading
Milk Bar (#168, 8/17/2011)
At a meeting, I was told about the “best sandwiches in NOLA” so I made my way up Prytania Street. I had been hearing about this place and obviously foolish for not going sooner. Outstanding high-end sandwiches for reasonable prices. … Continue reading
Tomasito’s* (#167, 8/16/2011)
Tomasito’s on Tchoupitoulas in the Warehouse District was…ok. The queso was bland, but my enchilada was decent. Shrimp tacos were also okay, quite spicy. Best thing was $2 white sangria – and the Pancho Villa posters in the bathroom. Overall, … Continue reading
Mat & Naddie’s* (#166, 8/11/2011)
An outstanding stop that has climbed into my top 10. I highly recommend it. Pretty stupid of me not to have been to a place that’s about 1/4 mile from my house. The spicy tempura fried gulf shrimp tonkatsu was … Continue reading
Velvet Cactus (#165, 8/4/2011)
The Velvet Cactus is probably my favorite Mexican place in town – that’s not saying much. Don’t come to NOLA looking for good Mexican. This is more up-scale than most of the Mexican restaurants here. The food was very good, … Continue reading
High Hat (#164, 8/4/2011)
I didn’t realize this was an Adolfo Garcia (Rio Mar, A Mano, La Boca) place. It was…ok. If you have a true lunch hour, it’s a risk as it took a long time to get our food. I went with … Continue reading
Dat Dog (#163, 7/26/2011)
An outstanding hot dog – great bread, good dog, good toppings. Had the cheese fries also – it’s a massive order of fries. Warning, no air conditioning and it’s cash only (since I visited this place, it has moved across … Continue reading
Café Navarre (#162, 7/24/2011)
Tried a little brunch at Cafe Navarre in mid-city. Didn’t make it there until almost 3, but still serving breakfast. Had a southern omelette – some sort of bacon, cheese, peppers. It was solid, nothing exceptional, but an easy friendly … Continue reading
