One of the chefs that Paul Prudhomme taught (Greg Sonnier at Gabrielle - which is a must eat at restaurant) brought back the blackened redfish for Prudhomme's 85th celestial birthday. Also Chicken Tchoupitoulas, the K-Paul's salad, Sweet Potato Pecan Pie. It was like someone made a meal for...

Happy celestial birthday Jerry! Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own

I am jealous. I've heard that when the parades were still neighborhood based, you might drive to three different areas in one day for parades that really reflected the spirit and culture of the neighborhood. it is a shame what has happened to mardi gras. some of the new walking parades are...

Harbor Seafood is on Williams Boulevard which is full of gems like Pollos a la Brasa (think Mexican Rotisserie Chicken), Nola Desi Kitchen, Gendusa's and a ton of Mexican/Central American places that are authentic. I generally go out to Jefferson Parish for Indian and Mexican/Central American...

MoP I'm a fan of you too brother! First - I would pencil in Godwin on the PUP list to start the season So that means that Evans should be close to WR1 level production and he's fine to take in the 3rd From all indications, Egbuka is ready to hit the ground running in the Godwin role, which...

"I was surprised by the “Tank Bigbsy is the Jaguars’ RB1” storylines earlier in the week, but perhaps I shouldn’t have been. Bigsby saw the bulk of carries with the first-team unit today and reportedly has been for much of camp. That said, Travis Etienne is almost always on the field on 3rd...

Smith missed the last couple sessions with back tightness. Felt like Smith has been available for a 1-2 round discount from his actual value for no reason. Well this could become a reason. sigh. Also a reason to be more in on Brown in the 2nd and Goedert at ADP if this becomes a bigger deal...

it's unlike any city in the country because it was happenin well before there was a United States. It's much more Afro/Caribbean/French/Spanish than US American. US Americans didn't really start showing up here until Napoleon sold the Louisiana Purchase to Jefferson to finance his war debts, and...

How can anyone not love Kermit? He is opening a jazz club in the CBD I hear and just retired as the manager of the mother-in-law - Ernie K-Doe - a truly larger than life New Orleans character - owned it before him. We live just a few blocks from Kermit. If you're lucky, you'll get to eat some of...

Toups is legit one of the best restaurants in new orleans and the couple that runs it are good good people, they have a charity that delivers meals to folks with food insecurity. *Always* get the featured sausage when you go there. They also have buffalo chicken oysters - yes just the best part...

charlie's is good and crescent city steaks in mid-town is also good for an "old new orleans" feel. The best steaks in the quarter/CBD, and probably the city, are at la boca - an argentine steakhouse But you didn't come to New Orleans to eat steak
