Looking for some NOLA restaurant suggestions for
will be there from Nov 5 to Nov 11
I have been through the last two threads and the references which have been very helpful
In a house (AirBnB) 3 blocks from the French Quarter for the duration just a group of 5 friends / male / foodies no allergy crap or dont eat that BS have access to a car and likely looking for a couple of locations in Cajun country (see further down) so that would be very helpful as well
Higher end (in no particular order) - will probably go to at least two: Brigtsens, August, Revolution, Pesche, Cochon & Herbsaints too many to choose from/not enough time ... leaning toward Pesche and Revolution but I did want to try out one of Beshs & Cochon calls to me dont want it too Fancy since we are all about the food but a decent wine & beer selection would be a bonus! Will be looking at reservations in the next couple of days.
Meat/Charcuterie: Cochon Butcher, Root, Cane & Table & Toups Meatery
Mufaletta: Acme Oyster House, Cochon Butcher, Central Grocery &/or Mothers
Poboy: Killer Poboys, Domilise's, Parkway Bakery, Luizzas, Melbas &/or Parrans
Cajun willing to drive & stay somewhere overnight for this since I have been trying to cook Cajun for 25+ years (but only from cookbooks - Wilson, Folse, Prudhomme, Bienvenu and many others) this will be my first sojourne to the Arcadia area so the more authentic the better
Any distractions bars, things to see, etc. would be great as well!
Thx,
TjA
