Where I Go Out

Oyster loaf

Casamento's

$$, Seafood, Cajun / Creole, Touro

"It’s fried in lard and just delicious!"

$$, Pizza, Reservations, Full Bar, Freret

"They wood-grill their pizza and you can just taste the love that’s involved with making the crust. It has the perfect amount of spice."

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

"These grilled sweetbreads are first poached then grilled, so the texture is beautiful and not what you expect. It's served with house sausage, which is a fantastic combination."

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

"This is a good, solid burger with a bun that stands up to the meat. It reminds me of a great diner burger."

Coquette

"Dark and Stormy" poboy

Killer Po-boys

$$, Cajun / Creole, French Quarter

Stein's Market & Deli

$, Outdoor Seating, Breakfast, Deli / Bodega, Irish Channel

"It reminds me of growing up in Maryland where there were wonderful delis in the back of liquor stores."

At My Venues

Tempura fried shrimp
