Hey all - hoping to get some ideas. I will be with a group of people this coming weekend and we had planned for dinner at Dick and Jenny's on Saturday night. About 10 people, but they are booked. Any ideas for an alternate that has similar vibe and food? Was even thinking about Upperline or Brigtsen...

Here's some of my better rec's - Slanted Door - Excellent food and a great wine list that pairs well. It changed the way I looked at wine and food (lots of German wines that pair perfect with the Asian-Fusion menu). Thirsty Bear Brewing Company - Great Brew-Pub with excellent organic food. Menu lean...

Y I will have to learn to not post things like that, because the whole internet message board is fun and games to me and I never think that people actually take this stuff serious and get upset at something silly I post. Ha! You are correct. There were a few who pretty much had meltdowns from thing...

Anyone have a contact or lead for a distributor of New Orleans themed merchandise? Looking for things like the water meter coasters and t-shirts, Cafe du Monde coffee mugs, FDL t-shirts, etc... Ideally I want things of good quality, not the crap sold by the gift shops in the quarter. Although I coul...

Sidebern’s - Tampa, FL – Tasting Menu with wine pairings 3. Luke - New Orleans, LA - Lunch 4. Charley G’s - Lafayette, LA - Lunch 5. V...

Anyone have any good ideas about Portland, OR and must have food experiences? My wife and I are headed there for 5-6 days at the end of the month. We've already done plenty of research but I always like to check here first. Will definitely post a trip report when we get back. Heading to Charleston t...

My first trip to Pelican Club was not only great, but memorable to boot. How else could I describe a busy New Orleans restaurant with the "who's who" of upper class society rubbing elbows and sharing wine? Ok, so I am definitely not high society, but it was fun nonetheless. There were two ...

Hey Isabella, We're headed to Portland in a couple of weeks so I will be sure to post a trip report. I may actually start a thread on here to see if anyone has any recs. We've done a lot of research and have some places picked out, but we had the NOLA trip just a couple of weeks ago, are headed to C...

Just wanted to jump back on here and post a quick trip report for our Lafayette excursion in early August. We ended up at Charley G's for lunch and Cafe Vermillionville for dinner and in between we squeezed in a few drinks at the Blue Dog Cafe. Lunch was outstanding. I started off with a couple of b...

My parents went to K-Paul's last weekend and raved about it. Everything sounded great. Never been there myself but will make it one of these days.

FWIW, I am half drunk. Working on getting there. DFH 60 Minute IPA almost finished and will follow it with another equally excellent beer.
