debris...that reminds me, speaking of Nawlins food terms--you gotta order your hamburger "dressed".

nice to see Commander's Palace back open. One in Las Vegas closed :sadwave:



I've never see Zatarain's Smothered Chicken! I looked online and found they also had something called "Zatarain's Mossy Oak Jambalaya Mix"

Using chicken broth instead of water always good!

my bro will simmer the fried chicken chunks (and broth), fried sausage, onion and bell peppers with couple cans of tomatoes for few hours before putting in the Zatarain's. Real good dat!

and if you get the Central Gro. muffuletta for trip back--just notice the expressions on fellow passengers in plane when you pull that puppy out to eat!

Already been said, but Mothers is a cant miss. Prepare to wait in line, but it's worth it. :SIB

Again, the Muffaletta at Central Grocery is classic... i think it's closed on Sundays (i always forget :00x25 )


I ate at a place called Mr. B's Bistro last time i was there, and mmmmmmmmMMMmmMM! Give it a whirl.

you MUST go to to Mother's on Poydras street, (downtown)and get the "Ferdie"---roastbeef with debris, ham, coleslaw on crunchy french bread....

go around 11:00 or you'll be waiting awhile...


also MapQuest, Tony Angleo's in Metarie. A family owned Italian restaurant----go hungry and get the 7 course meal....the eggplant is the best I have EVER had...


Acme is good for seafood and oysters. I RATHER Drago's....they must opened on in the Hilton lobby at end of canal, across from Harrah's....

also Deanie's in BUCKTOWN has GREAT seafood and the BIGGEST seafood Platter you will lay eyes on...get there early....




I stayed at the Hilton last weekend and remember seeing Dragos but didnt eat there,

Bayona is awesome

I frequent Mandina's. In fact, I grew up with the GM. From your post I can tell you are doin' it right in NOLA.

Angela and I will be there this week (29th-2nd)and looking forward to it. She has a cousin there so going on a whim. Haven't been in 15 years. I will take the options above and give them a whirl. Anyone else going to be there?

Damn, Lawtchan, that looked amazing, as did Terry's pictures. Goint to try Mother's, Mandina's, and any other choices based on this week and it being Sugar Bowl as well as New Year's? I'm sure better plan on dinner at 4 and lunch at 10 just to get a table :mj07: . Let me know guys. Thanks Cie for your input as well.

Damn, that Acme oyster and shrimp POBOY has my fawkin name on it. Is that a good place gentlemen?

Cie and Law, if you are around would love to buy you a drink for local knowledge. Angela is fun to hang out with as well, I promise.

Anybody around for drinks this week....Cie, Lawtchan????? :shrug:

Normally, we could meet for drinks monday or tuesday night, but I'll be in baton rouge/lafayette on biz until wed am.

New Years day (thursday) we are going to a 'pig' roast at a friend's place about 2 hours away in Hattiesburg, MS.

Shoot me an email and I'll give you my contact info. We can try to meet for drinks wednesday evening if your schedule permits.

One of my favorite spots in the Quarter is The Gumbo Shop on St. Peter, just off Jackson Square.

As the boys from Nawlins have already said, you absolutely HAVE to experience the food and ambience at Mother's.
