So much for the “Lets avoid all things Italian since we enjoy great Italian where we live and in Italy” - We not only managed to eat a lot of interesting pastas pretty much daily, but somehow 3 Bolognese dishes. They are not as cheesey and buttery at Felix’s but lightly breaded, some lemon, oil and a little bit of cheese just enough to bring out the flavors of the oysters without overpowering. For my TCI readers these are like Conch Fritters on crack! Bonus: Get the Ricotta Dumplings, Hand-Made Spaghetti and Turtle BologneseĬhargrilled Oysters at Felix’s – Last trip we enjoyed them at Drago’s who invented the Chargrilled Oysters, but now we have a new favorite looks like. Those little suckers are packed with fresh crab and explosive flavors.
Bonus: Try the Eggs Atchafalaya and Shrimp and Gritsīlue Crab Beignets at La Petite Grocery – This is an absolute must at LPG. A joy with every morsel at this popular neighborhood brunch spot. Filled with Mushroom, Sundried tomatoes and topped with tomato sauce, this was addictive stuff to say the least. After eating our way through eight sweet Bread Puddings on the previous trip and therefore aiming for more of the same this time, it was actually a savory one that won top marks. Savory Bread Pudding at Atchafalaya – Funny how this trip turned out. Or maybe it was the beer talking, as in Canebrake beer, the sauce main ingredient. Huge, plump fresh perfectly cooked head-on gulf shrimp complimented by what I can only describe as Sauce of Dreams.
We came for the Crawfish boil and got that and so much more. Perhaps our top eat came from a little shack in Metairie about 30 minutes out from the quarter, close to the airport. Without further ado, here are our top NOLA bites during a recent trip.īBQ Shrimp at Bevi – I’ll start with the no-brainer. Amazing, in a way somewhat foreign cuisine in one heck of a unique setting. As I’ve said before, I always compare the excitement of going to NOLA to that of Italy. He was talking about food, right? I believe so. Having been to New Orleans, and San Francisco, while living in NYC, I’m starting to believe it. Everywhere else is Cleveland.” ― Tennessee Williams “America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans.
