Much to my dismay my daughter married a guy from England. She lives over there now but happens to be in town. The wedding was here in New Orleans and we had the reception at the Palace Café. They did a really great job. When she was planning the wedding she asked me if I… Continue reading Bakery Bar, New Orleans, LA Report #697
Café Normandie, New Orleans, LA Report #696
This place is located inside the Higgins Hotel right across the street from the World War II Museum. In the third picture above I used my excellent and advanced computer graphic skills to illustrate that. I’ve been in here once before. They also have a restaurant and bar called Rosie’s on the Roof, which is… Continue reading Café Normandie, New Orleans, LA Report #696
K-Town BBQ & Tofu, Terrytown, LA Report #695
This place is located inside of the Hong Food Market, so if you’re looking for it from the street you won’t see it. Not even a sign for it. At least I didn’t notice a sign. But you’ll see it as soon as you walk in. It’s on the left and a little Vietnamese Sandwich… Continue reading K-Town BBQ & Tofu, Terrytown, LA Report #695
Taqueria 2 Brothers, Terrytown, LA Report #694
HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO! That means the “5th of May” in Spanish. That’s actually Sunday, but I have other dining plans that day so the 3rd is close enough for me. I got the email you see in the pictures above from Yelp. This place was on it, and they said it has some of… Continue reading Taqueria 2 Brothers, Terrytown, LA Report #694
Outpost 45, New Orleans, LA Report #693
Sometimes people will suggest a restaurant to me, I’ll write it down, and it may take me a year or two to get there. In this case, a good friend of mine told me about this joint at 2:30 PM. She made it sound so good at 2:45 PM I had 6:00 PM reservations, and… Continue reading Outpost 45, New Orleans, LA Report #693
Yinzer’s, New Orleans, LA Report #692
Decades ago, I took a trip to Philadelphia and had a cheesesteak sandwich. I think it was at a place called Jim’s on South St. I’ll never forget, there was this older guy working the grill. To his right he had a big tub of thinly sliced beef and to his left he had a… Continue reading Yinzer’s, New Orleans, LA Report #692
Mr. B’s Bakery, New Orleans, LA Report #691
Here’s a little bakery on the Westbank of New Orleans that I bet a lot of people don’t know about. It’s on a main drag through Algiers, but kind of hidden in a strip mall. If you know where Chubbie’s Chicken is it’s located right across the street. When I say little, I mean little!… Continue reading Mr. B’s Bakery, New Orleans, LA Report #691
Kenney Seafood, Slidell, LA Report #690
Today my job took me across Lake Pontchartrain to the beautiful city of Slidell, LA. I was wondering what this area would look like because a couple of weeks ago a tornado blew through here causing a lot of damage. That means the people of Slidell need our support, and my favorite way to support… Continue reading Kenney Seafood, Slidell, LA Report #690
Haydel’s Bakery, Jefferson, LA Report #689
There’s a great poboy joint called Parenton’s Po-Boys three blocks away from here. After a fantastic lunch there, we popped in here for dessert. This bakery got its start back in 1959 and over three generations later the same family still has it going strong. I love patronizing family run businesses like that. I asked… Continue reading Haydel’s Bakery, Jefferson, LA Report #689
Parenton’s Po-Boys, Jefferson, LA Report #688
As greedy as I am it should surprise no one that I follow a lot of social media food pages. That’s how I found out about this place. It’s only a block away from a favorite chicken joint of mine called Highway Fried Chicken, but it’s hidden off the main drag on a back street.… Continue reading Parenton’s Po-Boys, Jefferson, LA Report #688
