Food Report from New Orleans (including Jazz Fest)

 Had a great time and ate and ate and ate!

First, the food at Jazz Fest was outstanding, as usual. My favorites:

crawfish monica

conchon de lait poboy

Nachitoches Meat Pies

All washed down with strawberry lemonade, frozen daquiris or ice cold beer.

Several recommendations for eating out. Went to Domilise's Poboys (twice - :blush.

Had a pork sausage poboy the first time and oysters the second. Both excellent.

Oysters on the half shell at Cooter Brown's are always a great choice. Fresh, fat and salty.

Very disappointing meal at Restaurant One. Had some good write ups and was close by. Should have known better when I found out it could accommodate a party of 8 on Saturday night during Jazz Fest. Enough said.
 
Greatest meal was at Vincent's. Every bite was outstanding and they serve free martinis at lunch. It looks like a pizza joint from the outside, but is truly one of the best restaurants in the city.

Everything we had was spectacular, but I have to give special kudos to the crab and corn bisque, cannelloni, and salmon.

Of course, several trips were made to Camellia Grill for omelets, pecan waffles, grits and cheeseburgers. Beignets were never too far away and the frozen daiquiri shop was a block and half away.
 
And, to top it off, we had not one, but two phenomenal crawfish boils during the time we were there!

And I still didn't get to go everywhere I wanted, lol.

One last thing, Abita has a new beer which is strawberry flavored. I know that sounds weird, but it is excellent.

Lots of primitive comments, but none of them especially illuminating.

Looter guy approves.

Why not?  They'd eat you.

Well, I'll bet New Orleans doesn't have a gourmet French restaurant with a Hindu chef, or a Michelin three-star Italian restaurant with a Navajo Indian chef, like the big city on the roof of Nebraska.

You know, I'm surprised the cbayer primitive is still out on the road; she's been away from that boat for weeks and weeks now (surely at least six), using cars, staying in motels, expending a lot of extra carbon.

It sort of defeats her eccentric English husband's goal of saving the environment by living on a tiny boat, if they're just going to live on a boat a few days a year, and then create more depletion of natural resources than ever, by going about like this all the other time.

I just can't stand it, although I'll slightly nibble on fluke when my Husband catches it and cooks it.

Well, maybe they sailed their itsy-bitsy little boat down the west coast of mexico, through the Canal, and then up to New Orleans.

Or perhaps they set off from California and navigated due west across the Continent, reversing the route planned by the late DUmmy wileynumbers for sailing his Tennessee ark to the Pacific.

Surely they didn't travel cross country like a pair of one-percenters.
