Where I Go Out

Gumbo z'herbes

Dooky Chase Restaurant

$, Reservations, Full Bar, Southern / Soul, Bar, Treme Lafitte

"Deeply rooted in Catholic lore, this green gumbo is a perfect combination of five smoked meats and seven different leafy greens. This is an only-in-New Orleans experience that is really only done right in the one and only Dooky Chase's."

$$, Seafood, Cajun / Creole, Touro

"Deep-fried oysters on white bread dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo—need I say more? According to oyster lore, they are only open in months with an 'r' in them. They also have the greatest salad section to grace a menu—lettuce and tomatoes!"

$$, Reservations, Vietnamese,

"These Korean-style beef short ribs have tons of fish sauce and garlic in the marinade, and with all of the char from quick grilling, the flavors make an unbeatable combination."

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Burgers, Full Bar, Freret

"This burger only comes one way, and they only make it one way for good reason (because it is great that way!). Two thin patties griddled with American cheese and grilled onions come on a housemade bun with pickles."

Shrimp & Tasso Henican

Commander's Palace

$$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, American, Southern / Soul, Cajun / Creole, Garden

"This is smoky, tasso-stuffed shrimp that are deep-fried and tossed in a hot beurre blanc sauce—but it doesn’t stop there. To guild the lily, they serve it with pickled okra on a puddle of sweet pepper jelly."

Entraña Fina con la Piel

La Boca Steaks

$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Steakhouse, Argentinian, South American, Lower Garden

"The 'skin' on skirt steak still has the fat and silverskin on it, so it is grilled very slow and low so that the 'skin' renders and becomes all crispy and delicious. The collagen breaks down so that at mid-well, the steak is juicy and sticky."

At My Venues

Mouthwatering porky love fest in my mouth

Cochon Butcher

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, Sandwiches, Southern / Soul, Lower Garden

"NOLA is one of the cities I could never live in, either Id die from the never ending party or Id be a candidate for my 600 lb chef life. Good lord this was delicious!"

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, Sandwiches, Southern / Soul, Lower Garden

"Get the Cochon Muffaletta with pimento cheese sliders, & beer. Lovin’ NOLA and Cochon Butcher."

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, Sandwiches, Southern / Soul, Lower Garden

"Tender braised pork cheeks with creamy stone ground grits, whats not to like."

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, Sandwiches, Southern / Soul, Lower Garden

"Warning: this is a daily special. So get it before it's gone,—but if it's gone, order another daily special because the chefs here are amazing! The paneed pork sandwich with pickled kale and hard boiled eggs is crispy, savory and just straight up good! And don't miss out on their boudin—it's one of my favorites."

Housemade assorted cookies

Cochon Butcher

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, Sandwiches, Southern / Soul, Lower Garden

"These cookies are great because they are perfectly baked and a great way to get your sweet fix after eating at Butcher. My favorites are the white macadamia nut cookie and double chocolate chunk cookie. Milk is required."
