Where I Go Out

Filé gumbo w/ rabbit & andouille sausage

Brigtsen's Restaurant

$$$, Full Bar, Happy Hour, Wine Bar, Reservations, American, Cajun / Creole, Leonidas

"Frank Brigtsen’s gumbo is always my favorite gumbo in town, made with a thin, very dark roux and rabbit and andouille."

$$$, Modern, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, French, Garden

"Coquette – Tempura Fried Shrimp Salad with grapefruit and Siracha. The local shrimp were perfectly cooked. I wouldn’t have thought that grapefruit and siracha would work so well together."

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

"This is a riff on a Reuben. Their housemade pastrami and sauerkraut are really delicious. It is a huge sandwich, big enough for two."

$, Desserts, St. Claude

"All of their ingredients are organic and the owner always has a lot of really wonderful, interesting flavors. I love the Vietnamese coffee popsicle. The strong coffee is great and it is not incredibly sweet."

Peppadew & arugula pizza

Pizza Delicious

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Pizza, Bywater

"Their peppadew and arugula pizza knocks it out of the park. The combination of toppings is great and it has a very good New York-style thin crust. The arugula salad on top is very good to eat, too."

At My Venues

New Orleans BBQ Shrimp

GW Fins

$$$, Seafood, Cajun / Creole, Steakhouse, French Quarter

"The Abita Amber beer shrimp broth is out of this world."

$$$, Seafood, Cajun / Creole, Steakhouse, French Quarter

"This is one of my all-time favorite appetizers. It's very light and never disappointing. The buttery sauce topped over sweet lobster adds the perfect flavor without overwhelming the delicate dumplings."

$$$, Seafood, Cajun / Creole, Steakhouse, French Quarter

"I always intend to try something else, but I always go back and eat this dish. I love these plump lobster-filled dumplings and their buttery notes. It's one of my favorite appetizers at the bar."
