dining establishments visited during New Orleans visit:
Jazz Fest food vendors (too many to remember)
Cafe Du Monde (3x)
Mother's (2x for breakfast)
Magnolia Cafe
Betsy's
Fellini's (2x)
Dick & Jenny's (2x)
Juan's Flying Burrito (nice food, great margarita)
Lil' Dizzy's
Two Sisters
Tomatillo's (adequate)
Sukho Thai (mostly mediocre, but spectacular presentation of whole fish)
Cafe Rose Nicaud (4x for breakfast)
Flora's (3x for lunch -- coffee house with salads, falafel, gyros, etc.)
Redfish Grill (3x -- bar is great for solo dining)
Port of Call (2x -- outstanding burgers served with baked potato)
Acme Oyster House
Bayona (very nice meal, courtyard is a pleasant setting)
Restaurant August (each and every dish was outstanding, including ... mudbugs with pasta, bacon and truffle foam)
Sukho Thai: The whole fried fish was served with the head on, which is traditional in Asian cuisine. Usually whole fish is lying on its side on a platter. In this case, the fish was fried in a curved shape, and was presented in an upright position, as if it were still swimming. While I thought it was an awesome way to serve a fish, the vegetarian with whom I was dining had to look out the window while I ate it. After that meal, I avoided dishes with visible critter parts, e.g. the frog legs at Restaurant August.
yum......gain any weight??
Um. My britches are a little tighter. Prolly shrank on me.
