It's one of those you-have-to-do-it-once experiences, don't you agree? Speaking of that, there's a place West of N.O. in the middle of nowhere, that some famous chef opened at the base of one of the bridges in the bayou. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the place, but the fellow was a world-famous chef. If anyone remembers - and more importantly, if anyone knows if it's still there - I'd appreciate the info. Also in my post, I should have mentioned that I've also done the famous-chef routine - K Paul, Emeril's, etc. I even went to one of the cooking schools to experience Cajun. But I still enjoy the side-street hole-in-the-wall, the best. Hopefully Bill will try one and report back - I've spent a lot of time in N.O., but haven't been back since Katrina (other than to adopt a rescue pet).

I haven't been back since Katrina either. Not really even sure what is still open and what is closed. Perhaps time for a trip back. I ate so much last time I still feel sick. Good on you about the pet adoption. I went to Houston and worked rescue in one of the big shelters after the storm. Many folks who got out with their pets had no place to keep them. See you next weekend.
