I haven't posted much in the past week because, really, I haven't eaten that much interesting stuff. A lot of salads, good Bo Luc Lac (again), and lots and lots (like 100 oz/day) of water.
All in preparation for this trip to New Orleans. The current (planned) itinerary is as follows:
Friday Lunch: Casamento's for oysters ($7/dozen, people!!)
Friday Dinner: Brigtsen's - we have 6pm reservations, and hopefully K & J's flights won't be delayed. I think I have to get the seafood platter here after everything I've read on Chowhound.
Saturday Breakfast: Cafe du Monde for coffee & beignets, of course!
Saturday Lunch: Something light and healthy in preparation for my conference session at 2:30... (I finally started getting nervous after I printed out my slides).
Saturday Dinner: Either August or New Orleans Grille with SG & JG. We have reservations at both of them, and neither of us can decide. She's going to check them out tomorrow when she gets in and decide. Either way, it will be a fabulous dinner.
Sunday Brunch: Delmonico with SL, FzK, one of his friends, and SB. Before I get any shit about going to one of the "oversized ewok's" restaurants, know that this place consistently gets raves from locals and tourists alike. We just weren't up for the brouhaha of Commander's or Brennan's brunch.
Sunday Dinner: C & I are finally alone for a romantic dinner at Stella! - appropriate if you know what our pup's name is, and how much we adore her. We're really excited about this one...
Monday & Tuesday are more flexible, but I'm hoping to hit Jacque-Imos, maybe Upperline... we'll see... stay tuned for more action, and updates on each of the reviews and photos.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
