Need a place to eat?
I have a goal to eat at every restaurant in New Orleans. Only Orleans Parish restaurants count (if I include Metairie, etc., it would be truly impossible, this is just close to impossible). My last count had about 600 restaurants total – I don’t include chains (except for now and then) and have a semi-rule that to be a restaurant, it has to have more table seats than bar seats. All of this was inspired by Ray Cannata, a pastor who moved to NOLA after Katrina and proceeded to eat at every restaurant in town. The documentary, The Man Who Ate New Orleans, was my primary inspiration to tally these places.
On a side note, I once had one of the largest private collections of Underberg in North America and I am very good at parallel parking.
In the list below, an asterisk means the restaurant is no longer with us - as of October 2, 2023, I have 193 defunct restaurants on my list.
Ventured to Lakeview for to drop in on Mondo and chef Susan Spicer, one of the newer “celebrity chefs” of New Orleans. It was…ok. Not sold on it. Again, decent place if you’re in the area, but maybe not worth the special trip. I had some sort of shrimp dish with cauliflower, it was pretty good, not great. The thai shrimp and pork meatballs were a great appetizer, but the pulled pork pupusas needed some more flavor, should have asked for hot sauce.
