Hungry In New Orleans

Don D · October 2003

Who knows what's to eat in New Orleans? Names of Favorite places? What would you order if you could? Unforgettable place? French Quarter preferred.

Parabeagle · October 2003

Well, there's McDonald's, KFC, Taco Bell, Applebee's... x;-)

Cheeseburgers, chicken, tacos, and ribs.

Yahoo · October 2003

Try the hurricanes at Pat O'Brien's. If that's not enough to fill you up, they serve great cheese popcorn with them.....

If you're just looking for good 'ol American fare (& a great atmosphere) try Margaritaville. Nothin' like a Cheeseburger in Paradise & don't forget those french-fried potatoes!!! =P~

I've never been there, but I love Jumbalya(sp?). Whenever I do go there I will be having that ASAP.

For great coffee and beignets, go to Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter. Absolutely to die for!

Hey HRSage, I have an amazing recipe for you if you want it. It is the best I've taisted so far.

HRsage · October 2003

Scott, post it in the recipe threads on the Forum. Maybe I can sweet talk my wife into making it for me. I can barely boil water. Thanks.
mmmmmmmmmmm....Jumbalya!

Commander's Palace in the 'District...not too far from the quarter. It's wonderful and not too touristy; Antoines if you're feeling humble. Some of the "famous" places are awful.

jenhall · October 2003

The Cajun Cabin on Bourban Street is wonderful and I too recommend Margaritaville Cafe's Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Don D · October 2003

Where is Margaritaville?

safety · October 2003

My house in 20 min.

Don - you're so lucky to be in New Orleans - I'm totally jealous! When I was in New Orleans - I ended up walking into any place that sold food & bought the house special (it works in Europe too) - this way you get the best food the place cooks.

Don D · October 2003

Well, I ain't there yet. I go for a 6 day safety/OSHA seminar in a week or so. Somebody has to make these sacrifices.....6 nights in a Bourbon Street Hotel with a wallet full of company credit cards. The upside is that you guys will get a break from me.

rad · October 2003

But you're bringing back souvenirs for all of us, right?

Don D · October 2003

I will provide a $25 remembrance to the person with the best 'food' idea.

ray a · October 2003

That's easy. The best suggestion obviously came from Beagle/Ray. Send me the $25 and I will forward his share.

Parabeagle · October 2003

6 days for a safety/OSHA seminar?

Isn't that a little like a six-day long root canal?

Yahoo · October 2003

No no no.....the BEST suggestion was mine of the Hurricanes at Pat O'Brien's. There's nothing wrong with drinking your dinner!

safety · October 2003

ray a and Parabeagle you both forgot Hooters, oops, can I say that here? xflash

Don D · October 2003

There are field trips involved, mind you.

karenosi · October 2003

Please, please, please - have a fried shrimp po-boy for me! Acme Oyster House (one street over from Bourban) is a good place, but just about anyone in NO can fry one up just right. Crispy french bread, hot battered (never breaded) shrimp, remoulade sauce. Yum.

Also Mother's on Canal (I think) is known for its drippy roast beef poboy.

Houston's on St. Charles.

House of Blues on Decatur.

Mr. B's Bistro in the Quarter.

For a real breakfast, go to Joe's Po-boys in the Quarter, you stand in line and get a plate full of eggs, bacon, toast and coffee. Just what you need after a night in the quarter.

If I remember correctly, Margaritaville is down past the French Market. Anybody out there know?

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?

Parabeagle · October 2003

Oh, great. Now I'm gonna have that Ricky Nelson tune in my head all day!

San Francisco · October 2003

Very, very jealous! My husband and I love New Orleans and were last there this past April. I agree that you have to have a Hurricane at Pat O'Brien's. I like to be inside in the bar area, always crowded but lots of fun. You also have to have a Lucky Dog. Lucky Dog has exclusive rights to the French Quarter and they're pretty good, too. We liked Tijague's which is the 2nd oldest restraunt and I think it's on Decatur and the Gumbo Shop, small but pleasant. We just never had a bad meal anywhere in Louisana, but it's a different food experience for us. You have fun!

karenosi · October 2003

No, no, parabeagle. Think Harry Connick, Jr. His dad also has a pretty good jazz band, Harry Connick Sr. He's the local District Attorney.

Don - Lucky Dogs are only good at 2 a.m. when you need something to put in your stomach.

Parabeagle · October 2003

I always think of Ricky Nelson. He sang that song in the movie The Wackiest Ship in the Army.

Parabeagle · October 2003

Lousy food. x;-)

rad · October 2003

In the french quarter? I bet there are x;-)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-09-03 AT 03:56PM (CST)[/font][p]I have never been to New Orleans, but have always wanted to go. . this is cinching it! Don, I think you are going to have to stay over or skip some sessions to get these all in. Perhaps you could take a laptop and provide us with a critique of each place. I am getting hungry as I write. .Would love to see that Jambalaya recipe, Scott..

marc · October 2003

They have food?

Parabeagle · October 2003

Well, what they think passes for food, anyway. It's definitely unremarkable.
