Rare beef pho
$, Vietnamese, Lower Garden
"The broth has lots of flavor. You can taste the star anise, clove and cinnamon, all balanced with a touch of sweetness. Always ask for a side of fermented chili paste to give it a kick."

Where I Go Out
Grits and grillads
$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Breakfast, Cajun / Creole, East Riverside
"Grits and grillads at Atchafalaya are the quintessential New Orleans brunch dish and are done perfect here . The added touch of wild mushrooms bring it up to the next level. Paired with a rose cava is a must."
Kimchi fries
$, Food Truck, Lower Garden
"I crave these fries every Sunday. They have a standing pop up every Friday and Sunday from 4 p.m.-9 p.m. at Courtyard Brewery. It's amazingly different with its sour, tangy kimchi and spicy sauce, which is complemented by the cheese that pulls it all together."
Mussels with bbq shrimp sauce
$$$, Pub, Full Bar, Cocktail, Art Gallery, Mid City
"Chef James Cullen takes a New Orleans approach to bbq shrimp and creates what I consider the best mussels in the city. It's best paired with a white wine on their list that dictates a road less traveled."
Toast with honey, prosciutto and ricotta
$, Bakery, Breakfast, West Riverside
"This is a great combo of sweet and savory for breakfast, on top of freshly baked sourdough bread. It's priced just right for a breakfast that promises not to be boring."
Media Noche
$$, Tapas, Snacks, Faubourg Delachaise
"This is the best take on the classic Cuban. The pork belly really rocks it to the top, and the hand cut fries are crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. Perfect."
