New Orleans = Food


When I first came to N.O., I really didn't have many expectations. Of course, I thought of the potential damage I might see from the storms. And I thought of the images I had seen on TV both during the storms and Mardi Gras. But I don't know that either of those had formed an image in my mind about what things would be like here. After two trips, though, I have started to form some definite opinions.

I think that the most strongly held would be the N.O. is about food. Now, I'm not talking about food by price or the availability. Really, I'm talking quality. I have had the most wonderful experiences eating here. From Rocky & Carlos in Chalmette, to Commander's Palace, the food has been worth the trip. Please bear in mind that those comments come from a guy that usually dosen't care what he's eating, too.

The image is from the sidewalk outside Herbsaint on St. Charles Avenue. I had the best redfish I have ever eaten just inside...
