I bet it hit 10 people before it hit the ground. The image of that Lucky Dog skipping off people, mustard going everywhere is one I won’t soon forget. See, that’s a great story you can share with your kids and grandkids.
December 29, 20186 yr See, that’s a great story you can share with your kids and grandkids.And what’s really nice is that 10 other people also have a “I was at Mardi Gras and got pelted with a mustard covered hot dog and I didn’t give a fuck and partied on” story. That’s generosity, man.
December 29, 20186 yr We are kicking off the New Years/Sugar Bowl trip with dinner at Compere Lapin tonorrow night. For those that have been - what's the dress code like? Open Table says business casual but the photos I've seen look a bit more casual. Thoughts?Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I’ll also be there tomorrow.
December 29, 20186 yr Just sprinkling this in places. Surly horns tailgate at Erin Rose 10AM till walk to kick at Erin Rose
December 31, 20186 yr Steamboat Bill's in Lake Charles is good and quick and it's right on the side of I10.Thanks, This worked for me.
December 31, 20186 yr Anyone have ideas for semi-casual early dinner pre-game Tues? We have Mr. B's at Noon. I assume Acme and Felix's will be a ridiculous line but can anyone think of something similar in quarter or on way to stadium? Would prefer to not eat stadium food in such a good food city.
December 31, 20186 yr Just sprinkling this in places. Surly horns tailgate at Erin Rose 10AM till walk to kick at Erin Rose Bold move Cotton, but one I like!
December 31, 20186 yr Cochon was awesome for dinner. I had the Cochon entree and oysters and boudin balls. If looking at sides, the brussell sprout casserole is the tits.

December 31, 20186 yr Just a reminder for all of you in Nola this weekend: 2am greasy burger and cheese fries: Jimani

December 31, 20186 yr I get in early as hell tomorrow, expecting my crew already there to be thoroughly hungover so I need a breakfast/brunch recommendation I can slide into until they roll outta bed. NYD seems to throw a kink in many restaurants
December 31, 20186 yr Steamboat Bill's in Lake Charles is good and quick and it's right on the side of I10.Just left Steamboat Bill’s, good recommendation. Was a bit worried at first that I was in tourist trap hell, but the oyster poboy was legit.Yelled “Muledick” but nobody responded. See you Surly bastards at Erin House.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 31, 20186 yr I'll be there or Darell's tomorrow. Driving in early. I'm bringing my sons so no happy hours for us. Our agenda is: Darells or Steamboat Bills for lunch. Watch the Horn's whip Georgia's ass around dinner time. Beignets for breakfast. WWII museum. Cochon or Felix's for lunch. Wander the French Quarter. Aquarium Commanders Palace for dinner. Swamp tour in Lafayette on the way home Thursday
December 31, 20186 yr Definitely worth a stop, especially around the holidays with all the decorations. Checked this off the list. The Sazerac was great and wife loved all the decorations.

January 1, 20196 yr How was the Ramos?Just had the one drink. Would have stayed longer if there was a place to sit.

January 2, 20196 yr Willa Jean was underwhelming. The hangover bowl short rib and grits was really good. I also wanted to try the fried chicken biscuit and it was definitely underwhelming. Wife loved her advocada toast.
January 2, 20196 yr I FINALLY got to try the pepper jack boudin balls from Billy’s in Scott, LA. I’ve always been strictly a Don’s, Best Stop and Sausage Link customer. These balls from Billy’s are a fucking game changer.

January 3, 20196 yr Thanks to the fuckers that recommended ed’s Oysters and Cochon. Phe-fucking-nominal!!!
January 3, 20196 yr We had lunch yesterday at Cochon. I guess the food was OK but the waitresses were such snobs that we really didn’t enjoy it much.
January 3, 20196 yr If you ever fine yourself in the 7thvwatd like I did go to Cajun. It's across from Kermit's place
January 3, 20196 yr My report: NOLA: we went there for my birthday dinner before the VT Sugar Bowl in 1995. It was a special occasion place then and everything about that night was spectacular. For nostalgia, we went back for my birthday dinner before this Sugar Bowl. They overhauled the restaurant in 2017. It's much more casual now with pizza and global small plates. We sat on the third floor, essentially in a storage room. Food was pretty good (best dish was roasted octupus with "Elotes" style corn). Service was very good. Fun people at the adjoining 2 tops made for a enjoyable night. Cochon: spectacularly disappointing. I had never been. Based on the reviews, awards, etc, my expectations were sky high. Maybe it was an off night, but just about everything went wrong. Every dish came out lukewarm / room temp. Wrong dishes were served. Wrong wine was served (partially our fault for not paying attention). Awkwardly long ass gaps between courses. Signature cochon dish was an inedible salt bomb. We didn't complain but, to their credit, they could sense that things were not right. Same thing was happening at the table next to us (they did complain and sent several things back). Manager apologized halfway through the meal and they ended up comping us a few items. Not sure I will return. Couvant. Opposite of Cochon. I had no expectations. It was a last minute table on New Year's Eve. We loved it. Service was great. French bistro food, done really well. Terrific oysters with a mignonette that had a nice crunchy bite to it were my favorite. Skate was buttery and rich. Good place. Antoine's. Still perfect. My favorite meal. Our server, Sterling, has been there for 52 years. He had quite a bit to say about the "young ones" that don't listen to him. The oysters rockefeller and pommes souffle were as great as always. And the fish dishes look simple, but are just right. The Ramos gin fizzes to end the meal were perfect. I can't wait to go back. Marigny Brasserie. Good find on Frenchman for lunch. Sat at the bar and watched the Saints, with good gumbo and po boys. Not a dive, but casual and good.

The food, especially the mixed grill, was great, and everything was served pretty quickly with no long waiting time. We found an outstanding and pretty reasonably priced Burgundy. Sorry you had such a miserable experience.
January 4, 20196 yr sitting in lafitte’s right now. first time here in 6-7 years. i will never waste my time visiting this place again. digital jukebox on the wall blaring usher, touch screen nudie photo hunt on the bar top, and jaeger/fireball shot machines behind the bar. what a fucking disgrace.
January 4, 20196 yr So previous trips I went to Johnny's and Domisile's for poboys. Tried Parkway this time. I can say without hesitation that Parkway has the best of the three. They load the shit out of their sandwiches.
January 4, 20196 yr Just booked a quick anniversary trip for the wife and I in March. Not sure where we'll land for dinner's but I am going to take her to Patoi's for lunch on of the days.

Neither is bad and you will get full but parkway was better

January 5, 20196 yr Next time y'all are in town hit Terranova Superette for the best muffaletta in the city. Twice the meat as Central Grocery. They only make 10 on Saturday morning and when they sell out it's a seven day wait for the next batch. It's a family of old-school Italian grocers running the joint.
January 6, 20196 yr Surprised no one has mentioned the “All That Jazz” sandwich at Verdi Marte, open 24 hours. That has got to be the best late night drunk food to eat on the curb whilst dodging those goddamn street cleaners.
