because I had so wanted to eat good food in NOLA. Anyway.... once again praise for beignets and Cafe du Monde. Also for Pimm’s Cup, our new found summer tail. All in all, we loved NOLA and I can’t wait to come back...

Not sure of the name, but I’ve seen a British pub at the NW corner of Alma School & Warner in Chandler.. Haven’t tried it, sadly can’t provide any details.

I “book” a turkey at the Western style grocer. If I can’t get it, it will have to be a chicken.There is an influx of American thanksgiving and christmas foods at the Western style market, but they are very...

them to the greens, along with the rendered fat. Since I’m not familiar with that particular Goya product, I have no idea as to how it might differ. Good luck, Hunt

You keep it on throughout the meal. If you can’t find a blazer that fits you well, you are looking at the wrong store. If you go to a proper store, with proper salesmen, they will be able to identify certain brands that...

. The danger is that I’m right in the neighborhood and this is not the kind of meal you want to have very regularly (there are some much healthier options on the menu) but this was the most satisfying comfort food I’ve...

Quail eggs are easy; go to an asian grocery store and you can buy 'em by the dozen. Asian Gourmet market in Kenner, Hong Kong market in Gretna, various other asian markets around town. Sea urchin: can’t say that I’ve...

't know how long, but I think I first discovered them when I was a teen, and that would be almost 40 (yikes, I’m old!) yrs ago. Could it be THAT long ago???? Anyway, these are big, luscious, delicious donuts made the way...

I honestly can’t explain why. Except that zinfandel, for example, really isn’t that “dry” a red wine. It’s probably the heavy silk texture and prounced fruitiness of a good zin that matches this...

The server at T&J proudly told us that they use canned cbh because that’s the best (and it’s not bad). Can’t remember how it was at Bobby’s, so maybe not fantastic. The Unforgettable is one at Northstar...

The Dare maple cookies are nothing like what they used to be. I can’t remember who the manufacturer was before Dare took them over. Now they have a very strange chemical taste. At least to my husband and myself. It is...

than stellar Afghan is still good and something we can’t get locally. I’ve revered Phyllis Richman ever since she turned us onto the C & O in Charlottesville. Usually I like to cross reference Zagat or some book with...

I went this past winter for the first time and found the restaurants there to be quite good. My favorites were Hunga’s Lotus Petal, 221 South Oak, and an awesome Thai restaurant who’s name I can’t remember (can...
